Crossness Pumping Station: seduced by symmetry — Anthony Baines Photography
Last week, I was lucky enough to visit the Crossness Pumping Station in South-East London . It is variously known as the "Cathedral in the Marshes" or, more bluntly, the "Cathedral of Sewage". It is a former Victorian sewage pumping station, opened in 1865; it continued to ope

Data collected by Mauna Loa from 1958 onward let us clearly see the evidence of climate change for the first time.
The station samples the air and measures global CO₂ levels.
Charles Keeling and his successors used this data to produce the famous Keeling curve – a graph showing carbon dioxide levels increasing year after year.
But this precious record is in peril.
Donald Trump has decided to defund the observatory recording the data -- as well as the widespread US gre…

Characterization of the Combined Effective Radiation Pattern of UAV-Mounted Antennas and Ground Station
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)-based communication typically involves a link between a UAV-mounted antenna and a ground station. The radiation pattern of both antennas is influenced by nearby reflecting surfaces and scatterers, such as the UAV body and the ground. Experimentally characterizing the effective radiation patterns of both antennas is challenging, as the received power depends on their interaction. In this study, we learn a combined radiation pattern from experimental UAV flight da…

Fortunately, our train went first, so I could easily transfer at the main station.

In-ice Askaryan Emission from Air Showers: Implications for Radio Neutrino Detectors
One of the most promising techniques for detecting ultra-high energy neutrinos involves the use of radio antennas to observe the 10-1000 MHz radiation generated by the showers that neutrinos induce in large volumes of ice. The expected neutrino detection rates of one neutrino or less per detector station per 10 years make the characterization of backgrounds a priority. The largest natural background comes from ultra-high energy cosmic rays which are orders of magnitude more abundant than neutri…

On May 27, 1957, at 6:00 a.m., the CHUM radio station (1050 AM) increased power from 1,000 watts to 2,500 watts and switched from a daytime station to 24 hours. At that same moment, radios all over Toronto started playing Elvis Presley singing “All Shook Up” as the "New CHUM" became Canada’s first Top 50 music format.

The main idea proposed here is that user spectral efficiency can be enhanced by increasing the number of scans jointly processed by the mu…

Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) can greatly improve the signal quality of future communication systems by reflecting transmitted signals toward the receiver. However, even when the base station (BS) has perfect channel knowledge and can compute the optimal RIS phase-shift configuration, implementing this configuration requires feedback signaling over a control channel from the BS to the RIS. This feedback must be kept minimal, as it is transmitted wirelessly every time the channel ch…

Near-Field Directional Modulation for RIS-Aided Movable Antenna MIMO Systems with Hardware Impairments
Movable antennas (MAs) are a promising technology to achieve a significant enhancement in rate for future wireless networks. The pioneering investigation on near-field directional modulation design for a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-assisted MA system is presented, with the base station equipped with a MA array. To maximize the secrecy sum rate (Max-SSR) with hardware impairments (HWIs) and imperfect channel state information (CSI), which involves a joint optimization of beamforming…

Alles frisch.

Took the new #nightjet yesterday from Vienna > Amersfoort. Very new train, but still with a number of teething issues. An on-board technician tried to solve e.g. sliding doors that wouldn’t open. Some problems couldn’t be fixed (one cabin’s keycard didn’t work, person was moved to a free cabin, my neighbour’s cabin wouldn’t properly lock).
Huge delay (170 minutes) - that I partly expect…

Near-Field Multiuser Localization Based on Extremely Large Antenna Array with Limited RF Chains
Extremely large antenna array (ELAA) not only effectively enhances system communication performance but also improves the sensing capabilities of communication systems, making it one of the key enabling technologies in 6G wireless networks. This paper investigates the multiuser localization problem in an uplink Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system, where the base station (BS) is equipped with an ELAA to receive signals from multiple single-antenna users. We exploit analog beamforming to…

Multi-IRS Aided ISAC System: Multi-Path Exploitation Versus Reduction
This paper investigates a multi-intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) aided integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, where multiple IRSs are strategically deployed not only to assist the communication from a multi-antenna base station (BS) to a multi-antenna communication user (CU), but also enable the sensing service for a point target in the non-line-of-sight (NLoS) region of the BS. First, we propose a hybrid multi-IRS architecture, which consists of several passive IRSs and one se…

Fair Rate Maximization for Fluid Antenna Relay (FAR)-assisted Multi-user MISO Communications
In this paper, we investigate the problem of max-min rate maximization in fluid antenna relay (FAR)-assisted multi-user uplink multiple-input single-output (MISO) wireless systems, where each user is equipped with a single fluid antenna (FA) and the base station (BS) is equipped with multiple FAs. Unlike most existing relevant work focusing on maximizing sum rate of the fluid antenna system (FAS), which may cause unbearable rate loss to weak users, we propose to maximize the minimal rate of the…

Rate Maximization for Fluid Antenna System Assisted Semantic Communication
In this paper, we investigate the problem of rate maximization in a fluid antenna system (FAS) assisted semantic communication system. In the considered model, a base station (BS) with multiple static antennas employs semantic extraction techniques to compress the data ready to be sent to a user. The user equipped with a fluid antenna is located in the near field coverage region of the BS. Our aim is to jointly optimize the transmit beamforming and the semantic compression rate at the BS, as …
