On the Performance of a PRP-WLAN Enabled Wireless Backbone

چکیده
This paper investigated a 1-out-of-2 controller fault-tolerant system composed of two industrial workcells. Improving the performance and the reliability of the employed IEEE 802.11g wireless backbone was the main focus of this study. The approach taken to achieve this goal is the application of parallel redundant diverse wireless communication. A parallel redundant wireless backbone that interconnects two industrial workcells with a large number of sensors and actuators is modeled and simulated with the OPNET Network Modeler and its performance characteristics evaluated. For all studied system performance metrics, it was shown that the PRP-WLAN backbone is superior to a single-channel implementation under all investigated interference scenarios.

A novel multiband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system is proposed. The MIMO antenna system consists of two antenna elements, each of which comprises of three radiators: a driven monopole, an S-shaped strip and an inverted F-shaped strip and occupies footprint of 15x18.5x0.8 mm3 only. The driven monopole acts as a quarter-wave monopole and stimulate higher mode resonance. The tw...

A new multi-layer substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) structure is developed to design dual-band evanescent-mode band-pass filters (BPFs). Two independent series LC circuits are implemented by incorporating metallic irises in the different layers of the structure. The combination of the metallic irises with capacitive-plates is embedded inside the SIW to independently excite two evane...
