NJ MTT-S/AP-S Chapters:
Groundwave Propagation Modeling Approaches
and Numerical Simulation Tools
On July
20, 2010, the IEEE NJ Section
MTT/S/AP-S chapters will host a talk on “Groundwave Propagation Modeling
Approaches and Numerical Simulation Tools " The speaker will be Dr. Levent Sevgi.
About the Talk
Ground wave propagation has long been one of
the important options for medium and long range communication. In addition to the classical LF/MF/HF
broadcast and communication systems, emerging HF and VHF radar technologies,
intelligent transportation or digital radio broadcast systems require
understanding propagation characteristics over the Earth’s surface along
realistic propagation paths. It is
therefore propagation engineers’ or site surveyors’ dream to have a numerical
propagation tool that calculates path losses between any two points marked on
their digital maps. This necessitates
the solution of electromagnetic (EM) wave equation in three-dimension (3D)
which takes into account various EM effects, such as, the irregular terrain
profile, the vegetation, the Earth’s curvature, the atmospheric refractivity,
the presence of buildings, cars, and other obstacles, etc. Also, it must include all the relevant
scattering components (e.g., multiple reflections and refractions, edge/tip
diffractions, surface and/or leaky waves, etc.) that account for the path loss. Unfortunately, this is not yet in sight.
The aim of this presentation is to review
groundwave propagation models and numerical propagation prediction tools and
discuss problems and challenges as well as to project future developments. The focus will be on the Parabolic Equation
model and its applications.
About the Speaker

IEEE-USA in Action:
TV Reports on IEEE-Related Technologies that
Cut Energy Costs, Protect Combat Soldiers, Ease Mobility for Medical Patients
Available Online
Washington (10 May
2010) -- Seven new 90-second reports on IEEE-related technologies and
breakthroughs were distributed in the first four months of 2010 to 83 subscribing
U.S. television stations for broadcast on local news, with support from
IEEE-USA. Since 2005, IEEE-USA has, in
partnership with the American Institute of Physics, helped to underwrite more
than 800 local TV news reports on engineering and science -- in English and
Spanish.
The four latest
"Discoveries & Breakthroughs" reports include:
(1) "Save
Money: Cut Energy Costs," in which engineers have designed a hand-held
device that detects drafts around windows and doors.
(2) "Soldier
Safety: Sniper-Detecting Helmet," in which electrical engineers (EEs) have
developed a system that allows a soldier's combat helmet to determine the
locations of enemy shooters and the type of weapons they are firing.
(3) "Can You
Hear Me Now?," in which EEs have designed a radio chip for communication
devices that mimics the way the human ear absorbs sound.
(4)
"'Intelligent' Tools Help Disabled," in which artificial intelligence
researchers have developed intelligent medical assistive devices that make
mobility easier for patients.
To view these
IEEE-USA underwritten reports go to http://www.aip.org/dbis/IEEE/.
Vetted by
technology professionals, the reports are aimed at a high school-educated
public that receives most of its sci-tech news through local TV news
broadcasts. National Science
Foundation-sponsored research has documented that viewers of the
"Discoveries & Breakthroughs" reports are more likely to support
engineering and science than non-viewers.

The National Computational Science Institute
and
New Jersey Institute For Modeling and
Visualization
present
A
Kinder, Gentler Introduction to High Performance Computing Applications
3rd Annual Week-Long Workshop for Researchers and
Educators
Kean University, Union, NJ
June 28 - July
2, 2010
Cost: FREE
Do
you want to provide your students experiences with modern computational tools
in your discipline? Do you want to explore research projects in high performance
computing for your undergrads? Do you want to learn more about how common
computational tools in your field run on large clusters? Do you want to explore
visualization for datasets large and small?
Do
you want a week of intensive learning away from your office, department
meetings, and other work responsibilities?
The
New Jersey Institute of Modeling and Visualization, in partnership with the
National Computational Science Institute, is hosting a week-long workshop on
high-performance computing (HPC)
applications at Kean
University
from June 28th to July 2nd.
Our
goal is to catalyze the infusion of HPC
into all aspects of the undergraduate curriculum. An abiding interest in bringing the HPC
paradigm to the next generation of engineers, mathematicians and scientists is
the only essential prerequisite for attendance.
The more diverse the backgrounds and interests of the workshop
participants are, the richer the experience will be for everyone.
Accordingly,
we anticipate having sessions that include everything from a focused
introduction to supercomputing to breakout sessions in application areas
determined by participant interest to advice about and support for building
tools in widespread use among the scientific computing community.
This
workshop will focus on helping faculty with the process of moving problems in
their research, classroom, and student advising from the Desktop to High
Performance Computing systems. With a
focus on applications, participants will gain experience using a variety of HPC
tools on a 130 node, 1040 core cluster and advanced visualization hardware.
Much
of the content will be cross-disciplinary, focusing on the details of running
problems on HPC
hardware (technical issues related to logging on and executing programs, schedulers,
and realistic expectations of speedup,) as well as visualization tools and
cross-disciplinary mathematical tools.
Participants
are encouraged to bring their own problems to the workshop as well, and we will
poll participants ahead of time with regards to discipline specific programs
that should also be demonstrated.
Familiarity
with either C or FORTRAN programming is encouraged, but not essential, as the
focus is on software tools. Participants
are encouraged to have undergraduates enroll in and attend the workshop
alongside them as part of a faculty-led team.
Additionally,
specialized content will be selected based on applicant interest in a variety
of parallel sessions, using domain specific applications in computational
chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering.
This
tutorial workshop is *FREE*
(except you have to pay your own transportation costs to and from the workshop
venue), and we'll feed you and house you at no charge.
For more
