Toward meaningful communication: engineering semantics with the geometry of conceptual spaces
… brought about by the fundamental limits of communication imposed by Claude Shannon's information theory. Modern communication systems are able to operate with a rate close to the theoretical channel capacity, meaning we must increase this capacity in order to transmit additional data. This …

The application of communication principles to pulse-width modulated inverters
The object of this dissertation is to show that communication principles may be usefully applied to pulse-width modulated inverters to increase their useable frequency range, without increasing the switching frequency of the power devices.<br/><br/>The prior-art techniques of reducing harmonic …

Channel Modelling of Blood Capillary-based Molecular Communication
Molecular communication (MC) is a new and promising interdisciplinary bio-inspired communication paradigm, which uses molecules as information carriers. Differing from traditional communication, MC is proposed as a feasible solution for nanoscale communication with the help of biological scenarios …

Learning the language of academic engineering: Sociocognitive writing in graduate students
<p>Although engineering graduate programs rarely require academic writing courses, the indicators of merit in academic engineering, such as journal publications, successful grants, and doctoral milestones (e.g. theses, dissertations) are based in effective written argumentation and disciplinary …

CHARACTERIZATION OF FUNDAMENTAL COMMUNICATION LIMITS OF STATE-DEPENDENT INTERFERENCE NETWORKS
… cancelation schemes that achieve the fundamental communication limits. One class of models (referred to as state-dependent interference channels) capture the scenarios that users help each other to cancel dirty interference. The other class of models (referred to as state-dependent channels with …

Design And Analysis Of Adaptive And Reconfigurable Antennas For Wireless Communication
Modern radar and communication systems have experienced a tremendous increase in the number of antennas onboard, on the ground, and in orbital space. This places a burden due to the confined volume and limited weight requirements especially in space applications. The reconfigurable antenna is a …
