Signal Statistics for OFDM

Here is some­thing that recently piqued my inter­est (and kept me busy for the bet­ter part of last week). It could be (mar­gin­ally) inter­est­ing for peo­ple which work on OFDM or Nyquist WDM and – as far as I know – no one has looked at this in more detail…

Series Expansions

Some­thing I made back in July. Since then it shows up at the bot­tom of these here pages in the menu rib­bon, but I never wrote a proper post about it. I guess it deserves a lit­tle more pub­lic­ity since I do use it quite reg­u­larly. So here is my orig­i­nal descrip­tion for the cheat

Ampersand of the Week 42/2011

Pretty spacy amper­sand this week, from Cam­bal­ache, an equally spacy font.

Ampersand of the Week 35/2011

This week’s amper­sand hails from the just-a-little-bit-crazy cor­ner of typog­ra­phy, but that just makes it awe­some. Here it is, Batory Mid­dle:

Ampersand of the Day

Today’s (or this week’s) amper­sand is from Rooney Pro by Jan Fromm, a very nice-looking serif fam­ily that will set you back a mere $546 if you want them all. Unfor­tu­nately, it does not con­tain Greek let­ters, so it can­not really be used for sci­en­tific work requir­ing math­e­mat­ics…

Ampersand of the Day

Hot on the heels of Celtic comes the ele­gant amper­sand of Encoder Medium. Also check out the mas­sive Encoder Fat.

Ampersand of the Day

Today’s amper­sand is brought to you by RM Celtic. It’s a fusion of the let­ters “E” and “T” from that font.

Windows of Opportunity – ENBW

When you search online for ENBW you’ll likely find a list of sites related to EnBW AG, a Ger­man energy giant (which, on a totally unre­lated note, we were a cus­tomer of until recently). While energy is quite rel­e­vant in the con­text of this post, EnBW has noth­ing to do with it. This post is

Track This

Since I have an account with face­book, LinkedIn, flickr, xing and who knows where else, I’m prob­a­bly not expected to be too con­cerned about per­sonal data pri­vacy. But sur­pris­ingly I am. How­ever, some of the ben­e­fits of par­tic­i­pat­ing on these sites (poten­tially) out­weigh the draw­backs of giv­ing out per­sonal infor­ma­tion. Also, on most sites, I

Résumé Tuning

Let­zte Woche war unglaublich erfol­gre­ich, was die inter­na­tionale Anerken­nung meiner Forschungsar­beit in den ver­gan­genen Jahren angeht. Nicht nur bin ich vom Inter­na­tional Biog­ra­phy Cen­tre zu einem der Top 100 Sci­en­tists 2011 gekührt wor­den. Nein, nur wenige Tage später grat­ulierte mir ein Brief vom Amer­i­can Bio­graph­i­cal Insti­tute zum Sci­en­tific Award of Excel­lence 2011.
