Optimal Power Absorption in Lossy Targets

Microwave Power Absorption in Low-Reflectance, Complex, Lossy Transmission Lines

Simple sets of equations have been derived to describe the absorption of microwave power in three-region, lossy transmission lines in terms of S-parameter reflection and transmission amplitudes. Each region was assumed to be homogeneous with discontinuities at the region boundaries. Different sets of equations were derived to describe different assumptions about the amplitudes of the reflection...

Optimal Control in Lossy Networks

Today, an increasingly number of applications demand remote control of plants over unreliable networks. The recent development of sensor web technology [68] enables the development of wireless sensor networks that can be immediately used for estimation and control of dynami-cal systems. In these systems issues of communication delay, data loss, and time-synchronization play critical roles. Comm...

Stable Distribution and [0;2] Power Law Dependence of Acoustic Absorption on Frequency in Various Lossy Media

Absorption of acoustic wave propagation in a large variety of lossy media is characterized by an empirical power law function of frequency, 0j!j y . It has long been noted that the exponent y ranges from 0 to 2 for diverse media. Recently, the present author [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 115 (2004) 1424] developed a fractional Laplacian wave equation to accurately model the power law dissipation, which ...

Optimal Parametric Backward-Adaptive Lossy Compression

We present a new generic mechanism for “on-line” construction of a vector quantizer codebook, based on blockwise backward-adaptive parametric encoding. The workings of the proposed scheme is explained by the principle of “natural type selection”: In the limit of large vector dimension, the type of the first distortion-matching codeword within a random codebook coincides with an iteration of the...
