Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), referred also as to drones, find application in many fields. In my recent keynote at the IEEE Intellect 2019 Conference, I gave an overview of key applications [...]
[…] Significant progress in the analysis and design of communication systems has been rendered possible by the milestone work of C. Shannon that provided a methodological plant to attack [...]
Following the positive development of the regional labour market in the field of “Information and communication Technology” (ICT) and the resulting high demand for skilled professionals in this [...]
The IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Power Line Communications (TC-PLC) has honored my activity with two prestigious awards: The 2019 Outstanding Servive Award and the 2019 Interdisciplinary [...]
Federico Passerini successfully completed his PhD under my supervision defending the thesis “Exploitation of the power line channel properties to enable new applications” on February [...]
Filter bank modulation schemes for transmission over wide band channels are becoming the choice for current and future wireless and wireline systems. OFDM is the most popular technique. It has [...]
Channel measurements are improtant to characterize the PLC channel. We have developed both measurement methodologies and statistical analysis tools. New results about the characterization of the [...]
Bottom-up channel modeling refers to an approach where the channel impulse/frequency response is obtained via the application of transmission line (TL) theory to a specified network topology, [...]
Top-down channel modeling refers to an approach where the channel impulse/frequency response is obtained with a parametric model with parameters obtained by fitting real data from measurements. [...]
UWB in the form of impulsive modulation is an interesting transmission technique for its low implementation complexity. We are investigating it both for in-home and smart-grid applications.
