There is growing interest in human tracking, human activity recognition (HAR), and person identification by reusing wireless signals transmitted by existing communication devices, such as WiFi and cellular radio transceivers.
Radiofrequency sensing systems have emerged as viable alternatives to cameras for environmental monitoring.
In particular, a well-established method for detecting and classifying human movements using reflected radio signals is the timefrequency analysis of the small-scale Doppler effect, termed micro-Doppler (mD) caused by different parts of the body, which requires
sampling density and regularly spaced channel impulse response (CIR).
The proposed method addresses the problem of enabling integrated sensing and communication in realistic communication systems, reusing existing communication traffic for sensing as much as possible and thus introducing only a minimal amount of additional overhead.

  • Adaptive Overvoltage Control for Wireless Charging Efficiency

    In the context of the increasing use of Wireless Power Transfer systems, protecting receivers from overvoltage is critical to prevent device damage. Currently, protection systems focus primarily on the transmitter or involve disconnecting the load, which can negatively affect batteries...

  • Pre-filtering method and system for signal processing to optimize ML/NN model

    This technology addresses the challenge of efficiently training AI models on complex signals and images by introducing an advanced preprocessing framework. This framework transforms raw data into an optimized, multi-scale representation, which reduces noise and redundancy while highlighting relevant features....

  • A resilient and user-friendly CAPTCHA

    In order to protect on line services form malicious attacks, access is only granted to users by solving a CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart) to distinguish a human user from a malicious software...
