Demo Abstract: Spatial modulation based transmission using a reconfigurable antenna

This demonstration presents a spatial modulation based scheme between a transmitter connected to a compact reconfigurable antenna and a receiver connected to 4 omnidirectional antennas. The reconfigurable antenna used to perform spatial modulation is able to generate 8 uniformly distributed radiation patterns. First, a Radio Wave Display will show the 8 radiation patterns of the reconfigurable antenna. In a next step, the BER will be displayed after spatial demodulation at the receiver side to evaluate the communication performance.
