In this study, we present a measurement-based model for path loss prediction in three GSM service areas at 900 MHz . Modified Hata model for rural, suburban, and urban environments were derived in this study on the basis of experimental path loss measurements with the use of least square method. The models developed predicted with reasonable accuracy the path loss of radio networks investigated...

Continuous-time additive white Gaussian noise channels with strictly time-limited and root-mean-square (RMS) bandlimited inputs are studied. RMS bandwidth is equal to the normalized second moment of the spectrum, which has proved to be a useful and analytically tractable measure of the bandwidth of strictly time-limited waveforms. The capacity of the single-user and two-user RMS-bandlimited cha...

In this paper we compute the root-mean-square (RMS) gain of a switched linear system when the interval between consecutive switchings is large. The algorithm proposed is based on the fact that a given constant γ provides an upper bound on the RMS gain whenever there is a separation between the stabilizing and the antistabilizing solutions to a set of γ-dependent algebraic Riccati equations. The...

The measurement of humeral kinematics with a sensor on the humerus is susceptible to large errors due to skin motion artifacts. An alternative approach is to use data from a forearm sensor, combined with data from either a scapular or thoracic sensor. We used three tasks to assess the errors of these approaches: humeral elevation, elbow flexion and humeral internal rotation. Compared with the h...
