This post is an excerpt from an article appeared in ESI Africa magazine. With the use of ubiquitous PLC, reduced deployment time and costs as well as increased maintenance planning are [...]
The Embedded Communication Systems Group gathered together on 11 July 2007 and spent a full day in Bodental, Carinthia. It has been a fantastic day meant to create a relaxed atmosphere and [...]
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are used in numerous industrial and commercial applications that include aerial photography, agricultural and environmental surveillance, parcel delivery. UAVs can [...]
In many engineering applications, physical systems are controlled by a set of external inputs and their behavior is monitored by the system states. The system states may not be measured or [...]
Power line communication (PLC) is the technology that exploits existing power lines to convey data signals. It’s an old but brilliant idea that can help saving telecommunication [...]
“I have been sharing my thoughts in a recent conference where I was invited to speak about education in the field of telecommunications engineering“, prof. Tonello says. “I [...]
State-of-the-art power line communications (PLC) channel models follow either a bottom-up or a top-down strategy. The forner uses transmission line theory and it captures the physics of [...]
The Alpen-Adria-Universität is partner of a new three years project “Smart Grid Technology” that aims at the development of a master program in smart grid technology through the [...]
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) aspects in the context of Power Line Communication (PLC) systems are of great importance. In the paper “EMC Regulations and Spectral Constraints for [...]
“Can we derive the topology of a wireline grid and more in particular of a smart grid ? This is the question that I asked to myself”, prof. Tonello says. Why is the topology knowledge [...]
