TR-PPM optical test

TR-PPM optical tests have been conducted. Recently a successful TR-PPM optical transmission was made. This is a great achievement and another step closer to developing energy efficient data transmission schemes without a big data transmission speed compromise. As it can be seen from the picture above, at around 20 kilo-meters of optical cable was used

Pulse Position Modulation Communication Testbed With Event Timer Based Demodulator

Energy efficiency is important aspect of communicationsystem and is crucial in applications with limited power budget– space communications, sensor networks, and other au-tonomous systems. However, with the transition to millimeter-wave carrier frequencies, power consumption starts to playincreasingly important role. On other hand, availabilityof the spectrum at a millimeter band and the possibilityof transmitting focused beams
