AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the geometric proof of Shannon's capacity formula, particularly the modeling of signals and noise as non-overlapping spheres in an n-hyperspace of uncertainty. The user seeks clarification on whether this model relates to wireless networks with surrounding noise. Additionally, there is confusion regarding the Nyquist sampling theorem, specifically the relationship between frequency and period, and how sampling affects these concepts. The mention of aliasing highlights the importance of understanding Nyquist's sampling frequency in this context. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for clearer explanations of these foundational concepts in information theory.

I was in taught howw to proves the shannons capacity formula using by takng into conideration a n-hyperspace of uncertanity where the noise resides. It more like the geomteric proof of Shannon formula

c = b*log(1+s/n)
I have two problems
1) he modeled signals like a round circle and noise around it like a round circle. and he said the sphere of uncertanity must not overlap. Is it more like a wireless networks with noise around the environment? I did like an insight into this proof

2) I don't seem to understand the Nyquist sampling theorem of n=2BT it is like the concepts of frequency has been Muddled Up with the perioid. I know the realtionship between frequency f = 1/t but when sampled time concepts come into play I am confused could anyone shed more light on this.

Thanks I am sorry my question is kind of long .

You must have missed the idea of aliasing, and thus the Nyquist sample frequency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyquist_frequency
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
