Wireless receivers are affected by interference generated from external sources such as other wireless users and internal sources such as switching electronics. This interference is well-modeled using non-Gaussian statistics and can severely degrade communication performance of receivers designed under an assumption of additive Gaussian noise.

IEEE SPS South Brazil Chapter - First Year
by Dr. Vitor Nascimento, Chair of SPS South Brazil Chapter The IEEE SPS South Brazil Chapter was created at the end of 2010. It covers four Brazilian states (Sao Paulo, Parana, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul). In the first year, we will receive two distinguished lecturers: Prof. Abdelhak Zoubir in October 2011, and Prof. Patrick Flandrin in November 2011. These visits were coordinated with the Argentina and Rio de Janeiro Chapters.
