ISSS Seminar – Ambient backscatter communications
Location: EM 233 Date: 12. 10. 2023 Time: 15:00 to 16:00 Speaker: Kai Xu Affiliation: HWU Synopsis: Kai is working on ambient backscatter communications for his PhD research. He has successfully proposed and implemented a new receiving algorithm that is able to extract weak backscatter signals from dynamic and strong ambient signals. This leads to massively enhanced communication distances. […]
