TWDP Fading Scavenger Hunt

Posted on April 4, 2018 Written by Gregory Durgin

People have been looking for TWDP fading ever since the distribution was published in 1999.  Taken from the Wikipedia page on TWDP fading:

Two-Wave with Diffuse Power or TWDP is a model for predicting fading, an effect in radio propagation that causes a signal to be strengthened or weakened at certain locations or times. TWDP models fading due to the interference of two strong radio signals and numerous smaller, diffuse signals.

The Physics of Cell Phone Tumors

Posted on April 2, 2018 Written by Gregory Durgin

A look back at the infamous cow-head article.  I wrote this because, at the time, I was getting tired of being asked about whether or not cell phones caused cancer.  Interestingly, no one asks that anymore.  I think people finally realized that the handset-induced car accidents were far more dangerous.

The word radiation can strike fear into the hearts of the most valiant people.  After all, we live in the post-atomic age and have witnessed the ill effects of atomic bombs and reactor mishaps.

The Culture of Swimming

How a Trip to the Pool is a Microcosm of Life in Japan for a Gaijin

by Gregory D. Durgin, 1 May 2001

When I arrived in Japan, one of the first things I wanted to find was a good pool for swimming laps.  Swimming laps is one of the only forms of exercise I get as an engineer, so I enjoy any opportunity to blow off some steam (and some pounds) in a pool.  It helps to fight off the biyo biyo, which roughly translates into English as jiggling belly lard.  [Read more…]

Virtual Space Mission to Neptune

Posted on March 28, 2018 Written by Gregory Durgin

In 2004, we ran our first curated virtual space mission for Georgia Tech’s graduate-level ECE 6390, Satellite Communications.  The project was entitled “Deep-Penetrating Neptune Probes” and involved a hypothetical planetary NASA mission to the gas giant Neptune to study the atmospheric composition of the gas giant.  Originally suggested by Prof. Steffes (like many of the curated virtual space missions that followed), the project page archive can be found here.
