Meet USC
Fri, Oct 17, 2008
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Workshops & Infosessions
This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process; a student led walking tour of campus and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process and financial aid.Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 9:00 a.m. and again at 12:00 p.m. Please visit http://www.usc.edu/admission/undergraduate/visit/meet_usc.html to check availability and make an appointment. Be sure to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!

Coupled Oscillator Based Transmitters and Receivers: Theory and Experiment at JPLFor roughly ten years the Spacecraft Antenna Research Group at JPL has been developing and studying phased array antennas based on a concept of phase control introduced by Professor Robert A. York and his students at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In York's concept, a set of voltage controlled oscillators are coupled with their nearest neighbors in an array and are thus induced to mutually injection lock and oscillate as an ensemble. What York, et al. noted is that in such an ensemble, if one detunes the perimeter oscillators away from the ensemble frequency, one can induce linear phase progressions in the oscillator output signals. Thus, if these signals are used to excite the elements of a phased array antenna, beam agility is achieved. Since in these antennas, the signal sources for the transmit function and the local oscillators and mixers for the receive function are distributed over, and integrated with, the antenna aperture, we have termed these devices "agile beam transmitters and receivers." The JPL work has been both theoretical and experimental. The theoretical work began with a collaboration with the York group in developing a "continuum model" of such oscillator arrays. This model revealed that the dynamic behavior of the phase distribution behaves as a diffusion process. The theory was applied to linear and planar array geometries and to Cartesian, triangular, and hexagonal coupling topologies. The linear and Cartesian arrays were also studied experimentally. Most recently, coupling delay was built into the theoretical treatment resulting in some fascinating Laplace transformations leading to a simple prediction of the impact of such delays on the array dynamics. This presentation will review the development work over the past ten years both theoretical and experimental ending with the most recent work on coupling delays.

Information Percolation in Large Markets

Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
Joint Mathematical Finance Colloquium / Probability Seminar / Financial Engineering SeminarWhere: KAP 249When: FRIDAY, October 17, 2008, 3:30-4:30 PMTitle: "Information Percolation in Large Markets"Speaker: Prof. Darrell Duffie, Dean Witter Distinguished Professor of Finance, The Graduate School of Business, Stanford UniversityABSTRACT: We solve for the equilibrium dynamics of information sharing in an over-the-counter market with a large population. Each agent is endowed with signals regarding the likely outcome of a random variable of common concern. Individuals choose the effort with which they search for others from whom they can gather additional information. When two agents meet, they share their information. The information gathered is further shared at subsequent meetings, and so on. Equilibria exist in which agents search maximally until they acquire sufficient information precision, and then minimally. Endowing agents with public signals reduces information sharing and can in some cases decrease welfare.Professor Duffle is being hosted by the Economics Department, and is available to meet in DRB 212 between 10 and 11:30 AM.Information Contact: Amy Yung, Economics, amy@usc.edu; Prof. Jin Ma, Economics, jinma@usc.edu
