Zachary Silva, working with Dr. Christopher Valenta of GTRI, presented a poster at the IEEE RFID 2018 conference in Orlando, FL entitled “”. The work is looking to make transparent RF electronics and antennas which may be integrated into optical equipment. Download the poster for a closer look.
Billy Kihei (a PhD graduate from ECE last year) and GTPG student Cheng Qi have launched their National Science Foundation iCorps project, involving customer discovery for technology in the field of vehicle-to-vehicle communications. They attended a workshop on how to conduct customer discovery and will embark on a grueling travel schedule to secure views and feedback from industry officials. The NSF grant, with Prof. Durgin as PI, was awarded earlier this year.
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.
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.
