Author:Ebrahim, Rozeena; Mthethwa, Nosipho B; Lysko, Albert ADate:Nov 2022This paper looks at design considerations for an Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator (ESPAR) antenna suitable for inexpensive large-scale wireless network technologies. This can help address the demand for a cheaper, simpler, ...Read more
Author:Mofolo, MOR; Lysko, Albert ADate:Sep 2013It is often convenient to power up peripheral devices directly from the host device interface, without a need for additional and/or external power supply. In this paper we present a design of the RS232-powered controller for electronically ...Read more
Author:Lysko, Albert A; Mofolo, MDate:Oct 2014This paper overviews a low-power beam-switched smart antenna. The antenna operates at 2.4 GHz frequency band, has low power consumption (1.5 mW), and is intended for smart world applications in communications and metering. The antenna has ...Read more
Author:Mofolo, M; Lysko, Albert ADate:23 Nov 2015The use of smart antennas in wireless networks requires real-time synchronization of the beamforming and the transmission/receive processes for the host devices that are equipped with such antennas. This paper presents an approach for integrating ...Read more
Author:Lysko, Albert A; Johnson, DL; Mofolo, MORDate:Sep 2012The paper describes the performance enhancement obtained by adding an electronically controlled beamswitching antenna to a laboratory set up of a wireless mesh network. The antenna permits several modes offering several beam shapes and ...Read more
Author:Lysko, Albert ADate:Sep 2012This paper discusses steps towards a low-power beam-switching array antenna suitable for wireless sensor network (WSN) applications. Such an antenna will help to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR), and thus throughput, latency and other ...Read more
