Abstract :
This demonstration will present the world´s first macroscale molecular communication link to reliably transmit a continuous data stream. The system modulates alcohol molecules, which are then diffused via ambient and induced air currents to carry information to a receiver. The communication distance is several meters and the propagation channel we will demonstrate consists of both free space and tunnel environments. The goal is to show that molecules can be used as an alternative to electromagnetic (EM) waves in challenging environments where EM waves do not perform well.
