I was awarded the Chair of Excellence 2019-20 at Universidad Carlos III Madrid, Spain, and given the opportunity to cooperate in the domain of connectivity and signal processing for smart [...]

Federico Passerini, former PhD student of mine, has received the Award of Excellence – State Prize for Best Dissertations, from the Ministry of Education, Science and Research of Austria. [...]

I have been elected Chair of the IEEE ComSoc Technical Committee on Smart Grid Communications for the term 2020-2021. The transformation of the electricity grid into a smart grid is perhaps the [...]

[…]  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 [...]

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 [...]

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.
