Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering and Assistant Dean of the School of Engineering for E-Learning, Dr. Yazan Al-Badarneh, along with two other scholars from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia, published a new study entitled: "On the Performance of Spectrum Sharing Backscatter Communication Systems".

According to Al-Badarneh, spectrum sharing backscatter communication systems are among the most prominent technologies for ultralow power and spectrum efficient communications.

In this paper, published in IEEE Internet of Things (IoT) Journal, the authors propose an underlay spectrum sharing backscatter communication system, in which the secondary network is a backscatter communication system. They analyze the performance of the secondary network under a transmit power adaption strategy at the secondary transmitter, which guarantees that the interference caused by the secondary network to the primary receiver is below a predetermined threshold.

Al-Badarneh, who holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University/ Texas, USA, since 2018, has published more than 13 papers in several international journals and conferences.
