Senior PhD candidate Mohammad Alhassoun visited the 2019 IEEE Consumer Communications & Networking Conference (CCNC) in Las Vegas, NV. There he presented a paper on the unique small-scale fading properties of a retrodirective backscatter channel. These channels have garnered a lot of interest lately due to their low-powered, long-distance link capabilities, which excites the “Internet of Things” community. Below are the slides from the talk, entitled “Spatial Fading in Backscatter Channels: Theory and Models.”
