Dr. Muhammad Saad Zia will give a technical talk titles "Effects of Beam Misalignment on the Performance of Millimeter-Wave Cellular Networks". The talk presents an approach to model the effect of beam alignment errors arising due to inaccurate channel estimation and analyze the impact on the system-level performance of a directional millimeter-wave (mm-wave) cellular network. Specifically, by modeling the variance of the beam alignment errors in terms of link parameters and utilizing stochastic geometric techniques, the loss in the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and rate coverage of the network is quantified. The talk considers two network configurations: 1) Modeling and analysis of a mm-wave only network with single-user beamforming at the BS and an isotropic antenna at the user, and 2) Extension to a heterogeneous network consisting of sub-6 GHz and mm-wave BSs.

Abstract: There are several common misunderstandings and controversies that can have significant impact on costs, quality and reliability of ESD programs. These misunderstandings or "myths" result in costly unnecessary expenditures and/or a compromise of the program integrity. These same myths are often cited by skeptics who do not fully understand the physics involved. Consequently, it is important to identify and dispel these myths. Latency is a significant reliability consideration that is surrounded with controversy. Some experts will argue that latency is virtually non-existent while others claim that it is the dominant failure mode. Join us for this highly interactive discussion and learn about Latency as well as common myths such as: Myth: ANSI/ESD S20.20 Is Sufficient For Class 0 Technologies Myth: HBM Failures Dominate ESD Failures Myth: Circuit Boards are Always Less Sensitive to ESD than Devices Myth: Airflow Causes Charging Myth: Humidity Control is Essential for ESD Myth: Fieldmeters Make Accurate Measurements on Machines Myth: Latency Failures Comprise 90% of ESD Failures Co-sponsored by: ESDA NE Chapter Speaker(s): Ted Dangelmayer Agenda: 5:30 PM Pizza, salad, soda, and Networking 6:00 PM Technical Presentation 6:45 PM Questions and Answers 7:00 PM Adjournment Bldg: Main Cafeteria, Lincoln Laboratory, 244 Wood St, Lexington, Massachusetts, United States, 02421, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/438543

Financial Acumen Event with SWE NESS and IEEE Providence Section Do you ever wish you could ask questions of a financial expert, without any judgment, strings attached, or a sales pitch? How does some objectivity sound, while discussing critical life changing issues? SWE NESS is welcoming local Certified Financial Planner(s), and fiduciaries, for a financial acumen/investment conversation. Chris Yalanis has been a University instructor for many years, having taught both the undergraduate Investment Management course as well as with the Circle of Scholars program, at Salve Regina University. In addition to his academic expertise, he’s “been there and done that” as the Managing Director of the Yalanis Private Wealth Management Group. Earlier in his career he also taught Philosophy (Ethics, Medical Ethics and Critical Thinking). His team are passionate about teaching financial skills, giving objective fiduciary advice, and welcome the questions/discussions with folks who want to learn! The event will be held at the Kingston Free Library near URI. This event will be highly interactive, and a great chance to ask questions to seasoned financial experts. Guests of SWE are welcome. Pizza will be provided by the IEEE! More information about our speakers can be found here: (https://fa.wellsfargoadvisors.com/yalanis-wealth-management-group/team.htm) Co-sponsored by: Society for Women Engineers (SWE) Kingston Free Library, 2605 Kingstown Road, South Kingstown, Rhode Island, United States, 02881

Welcome to the first session of the IEEE Princeton Central Jersey Section (PCJS) Data Analytics Group. As a Chair of this newly established group, I am excited to introduce a platform dedicated to fostering learning, collaboration, and growth in the rapidly evolving field of data analytics. This session is designed to welcome members, non-members, students, and aspiring data professionals, providing an overview of the fundamentals of data analytics and its growing significance across industries. We aim to offer valuable insights into how this group will serve as a community hub, bringing together industry experts to discuss current trends, key challenges, and emerging opportunities within the field of data analytics. Our mission is to empower learners at all levels by providing access to thought leaders, industry professionals, and real-world applications of data analytics. Attendees will gain a better understanding of the tools, techniques, and issues shaping the future of data analytics, as well as actionable strategies for advancing their skills and careers in this dynamic domain. This session marks the beginning of an ongoing conversation where we, as a community, will explore the limitless potential of data and how it can be harnessed to drive innovation and solve complex problems. Agenda: 6:00 PM - 6:30 PM : Pizza and Networking 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM : Talk 7:30 PM - 8:00 PM : Q/A and Wrap-up Room: Room CS 105, 35 Olden Street, Princeton, New Jersey, United States, 08544, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/440552

On Wednesday, November 13, 2024 at 6:30 PM ET, the (https://www.TechnologyOnTap.org) will host a presentation on Prototyping amateur radio systems with SDR and Raspberry Pi. [] About the Topic This presentation will describe efforts to integrate USB Software-Defined Radio (SDR) modules with a Raspberry Pi 4 running the Raspberry Pi OS 12 (Bookworm) and open-source radio applications such as Software-Defined Receiver (GQRX) and weak signal communication software (WSJT-X) to create a modular portable amateur radio system. Radio and RF apps, including a GNU Radio FM receiver flowgraph, Quite Universal Circuit Simulator (Qucs) with microstrip RF filter layout simulation, an Octave OpenEMS electromagnetic field solver, a KiCad layout example, and Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller programming examples using the Arduino IDE and the VS Code IDE, are also explored.
