Radio definida por software y docencia en línea: experiencia en el Grado en Ingeniería Telemática
[EN] Devices based on software defined radio have been used in the last 6 years as motivating elements in the laboratory practices of digital communications courses at the Degree in Telematics Engineering of the University of Valencia. However, the development of these practices requires giving access to some hardware devices that are physically located in the laboratories of the School of Engineering. In this contribution, taking into account the current situation of hybrid learning and a possible transition to remote learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a system that allows the remote interaction with the software defined radio devices is proposed. This remote access system, in addition t…
Ethernet FSO Communications Link Performance Study Under a Controlled Fog Environment
In this letter the performance of a free space optical (FSO) communication link in the presence of fog is experimentally investigated in an indoor environment. A dedicated indoor atmospheric chamber, replicating the outdoor environment, is being used to evaluate the FSO link performance under the fog condition. Theoretical analysis supported by the experimental evaluation has been carried out for the intensity modulation/direct detection on-off keying non-return-to-zero (OOK-NRZ), OOK return-to-zero (OOK-RZ) and four pulse position modulation (4-PPM) modulation formats at the Ethernet baseline data-rate. The results shown indicate that the 4-PPM signalling scheme is the most robust to the f…
On the performance of a linearized dual parallel Mach Zehnder electro-optic modulator
The performance of a dual parallel differential Mach-Zehnder modulator broadband linearization architecture is analysed. This study provides experimental and analytical results showing an enhancement up to 20 dB in the 3rd-order intermodulation distortion factor at 5 GHz using RF and optical asymmetrical feeding factors.
Wireless energy and information transmission in FSO and RF-FSO links
We propose and analyze a wireless energy and information transmission scheme in free-space optical (FSO) links. The results are presented for both quasi-static and fast-fading conditions. We derive closed-form expressions for throughput, outage probability, and optimal power allocation optimizing the system throughput/outage probability. Finally, we complement the FSO link with an additional radio frequency (RF) link to create a hybrid RF-FSO system and reduce the system outage probability. The results show that joint implementation of the RF and FSO links leads to considerable performance improvement, compared to the cases with only FSO-based communication.
