17 July 2023, 11-12 h in H-C 7327
The talk is part of the ZESS lecture series and hosted by the DFG research unit “Learning to Sense” (L2S).
Over the last few decades, ray tracing (RT) has established itself as the method of choice for everything to do with modelling wave propagation. Telecoms being no exception, it’s common practice to model the transmission channel using RT software. Although RT offers remarkable accuracy, its computational time cost raises many questions, not least that of differentiability.This presentation discusses ray tracing and its applications in telecoms, as well as mathematical tools for making RT differentiable.
Jérome Eertmans is a PhD student working at UCLouvain within Communication Systems (COSY) group. His research topic is Differentiable Ray Tracing for Telecommunications.
