An FPGA-Based WASN for Remote Real-Time Monitoring of Endangered Species: A Case Study on the Birdsong Recognition of Botaurus stellaris
(MDPI, 2017-06)
Fast environmental variations due to climate change can cause mass decline or even extinctions of species, having a dramatic impact on the future of biodiversity. During the last decade, different ...
Physical Layer Definition for a Long-Haul HF Antarctica to Spain Radio Link
(MDPI, 2016-05)
La Salle and the Observatori de l’Ebre (OE) have been involved in a remote sensing project in Antarctica for the last 11 years. The OE has been monitoring the geomagnetic activity for more than twenty ...
Vertical and oblique ionospheric soundings performance comparison over the 12,760 km transequatorial HF link between Antarctica and Spain
(Wiley, 2017-03)
This paper presents the second part of the study of the oblique sounding of a 12,760 km transequatorial ionospheric link between Livingston Island (Antarctica) and Cambrils in Spain. The study consists ...
Home Sound: a GPU-based Platform for Massive Data Acquisition and Processing for Acoustic Ambient Assisted Living Applications for Behavior Monitoring
(IFSA, 2017-05)
Human life expectancy has grown over the last century, which has driven governments to increase the efforts on caring about the eldest population. Therefore, modern trends take advantage of latest ...
Narrowband and Wideband Channel Sounding of an Antarctica to Spain Ionospheric Radio Link
(MDPI, 2015-09)
La Salle and Ebro Observatory have been involved in remote sensing projects in Antarctica for the last 11 years (approximately one solar cycle). The Ebro Observatory has been monitoring and analyzing ...
homeSound: Real-Time Audio Event Detection Based on High Performance Computing for Behaviour and Surveillance Remote Monitoring
(MDPI, 2017-04)
The consistent growth in human life expectancy during the recent years has driven governments and private organizations to increase the efforts in caring for the eldest segment of the population. These ...
Variation of Ionospheric Narrowband and Wideband Performance for a 12,760 km Transequatorial Link and Its Dependence on Solar and Ionospheric Activity
(MDPI, 2020-08)
The ionosphere provides a channel that is able to propagate electromagnetic waves for long-haul communications, allowing Non-Line-Of-Sight (NLOS) radio communications in the high-frequency band (HF). ...
Design of a Low-Cost Configurable Acoustic Sensor for the Rapid Development of Sound Recognition Applications
(MDPI, 2020-07)
Concerned about the noise pollution in urban environments, the European Commission (EC) has created an Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC (END) requiring Member states to publish noise maps and ...
Polarization diversity in a long-haul transequatorial HF link from Antarctica to Spain
(Wiley, 2017-01)
This paper describes a set of experiments which examine the feasibility of applying polarization diversity to a 12,760 km ionospheric link from Livingston Island (62.6°S, 60.4°W), South Shetlands, to ...
An FPGA Scalable Software Defined Radio Platform Design for Educational and Research Purposes
(MDPI, 2016-06)
In a digital modem design, the integration of the Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) and Digital to Analog Converters (DAC) with the core processor is usually a major issue for the designer. In this ...
