[ANTENNAS] CEA-Leti has developed a more accurate method of locating drones indoors. This innovative approach, which combines #radar and #UWB beacons, received an award at the #IPIN2024 conference. 🎯 💡 One of the most widely used techniques for locating a mobile object such as a #drone inside a building without satellite signals is to place ultra wideband (UWB) beacons on the ground. The radio-equipped flying machine then uses these beacons as reference points to determine its position. 💬 “𝘏𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳, 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦, 𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘣𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘰𝘣𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘴 𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴," explains Christophe Villien, signal processing researcher at CEA-Leti. “𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦, 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴: 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘦𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘥𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯." And since drones rise up into the air, they will always tend to deviate from these markers, which are located on the ground. 📡 Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dcqQ2cnB Benoît Miscopein | Dimitri KTENAS | Eric Mercier | Fabien Clermidy | Marc Donikian #antennas #localisation #radio #telecomunication 🖼 Image generated by IA (ChatGPT)

[AWARD] Current Flash solid-state storage devices have reached their physical limits, making further improvement increasingly challenging. At CEA-Leti, research engineers are constantly working to address these challenges and develop sustainable solutions.    🏆Congratulations to Renzo A. on his Best Paper #Award at the #ESREF 2024!   Renzo Antonelli, a PhD candidate at CEA-Leti and the Laboratory for Microelectronics Technologies (LTM, CNRS), has made remarkable advances in his #research about Crossbar #memory arrays. 💾   Renzo focused on studying the impact impact of the Phase-Change Memories (PCM) with Ovonic Threshold Switching (OTS) selector on the stored information. Following his findings, he proposed possible solutions to mitigate the issue. 💡   The jury was impressed not only by his work, but also by his paper’s didactic approach, which includes a reproducible experimental #protocol for other research groups. 👏   👉 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dXq76DGK   💬 “𝘈𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘬 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥𝘴.
