    Conference report
    Open Access
    The vital sign measurement systems inside vehicles have taken great or impulse in recent years, and the technologies that have been most welcomed are based on wireless measurements that do not interrupt driving and are ...
  • Experimental measurements of radio signal attenuation and Faraday rotation in an inductively coupled plasma facility 

    Felgueiras Luis, Diana Zaida; Viladegut, Alan; Camps Carmona, Adriano José; Chazot, Olivier (Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics, 2023)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Spacecraft entering a planetary atmosphere are surrounded by a plasma layer containing high levels of ionization due to the high temperatures on the shock layer. The high electron number densities cause attenuation and ...

    Ruiz Costa-Jussà, Marta; Basta, Christine Raouf Saad; Gallego Olsina, Gerard Ion (European Language Resources Association, 2022)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    The scientific community is increasingly aware of the necessity to embrace pluralism and consistently represent major and minor social groups. Currently, there are no standard evaluation techniques for different types of ...
  • Ionospheric scintillation anomalies associated with the 2021 La Palma volcanic eruption detected with Gnss-R and Gnss-Ro observations 

    Molina Ordóñez, Carlos; Boudriki Semlali, Badr Eddine; González Casado, Guillermo; Hyuk, Park; Camps Carmona, Adriano José (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
    Conference report
