Em ambientes onde a resposta de impulso do canal de comunica??o ? vari?vel no tempo, como em comunica??es m?veis, a distor??o por multipercurso ? din?mica. Juntamente com o efeito Doppler, o multipercurso din?mico pode at? mesmo eventualmente interromper completamente o link de comunica??o sem fio. Para minimizar este problema, equalizadores de canais autodidatas s?o usados para mitigar os efeitos de multipercurso e Doppler. Neste contexto, esta disserta??o prop?e um novo equalizador de canal autodidata (blind), baseado no algoritmo de m?dulo constante modificado n?o linear (NMCMA) e no equalizador Soft Direct Decision (SDD) em uma arquitetura concorrente. Este novo equalizador concorrente NMCMA-SDD ? comparado com o estado da arte, o equalizador concorrente com algoritmo de m?dulo constante (CMA)-SDD, operando sob os chamados "Brazil channels A-E", proposto pela Uni?o Internacional das Telecomunica??es (UIT). O equalizador proposto apresenta resultados significativos em compara??o com o estado da arte, possibilitando a opera??o em links de comunica??o sem fio entre ve?culos a?reos n?o tripulados (UAVs), ve?culos terrestres e em outros cen?rios de comunica??o din?mica. / In wireless digital communication systems, the transmitted signal may be affected by several sources of distortion, the most significant being Additive Whit Gaussian Noise (AWGN), multipath and Dopplr effect. In environmets where the impulse response of the communication channel is time variant, as in mobile communications, the multipath distortion is dynamic. Together with the Doppler effect, the dynamic multipath may even completely interrupt the wireless communication link. In order to solve this issue, blind channel equalizers are used to mitigate the multipath and Doppler effects. In this context, this dissertation proposes a novel blind channel equalizer, based on the Nonlinear Modified Constant Modulus Algorithm (NMCMA) and on the Soft Direct Desicion (SDD) equalizers in a concurrent architecture. This novel NMCMA-SDD concurrent equalizer is compared with the state of the art, the Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA)-SDD concurrent equalizer, over the so-called "Brazil channels A-E", proposed by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The proposed equalizer presents significant results when compared with the state of the art, making possible its operation in wireless communication links for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), terrestrial vehicles, and others dynamic communication scenarios.

The Importance of Communication During Organizational Transformation : A Case Study at AstraZeneca about Communication Barriers / Kommunikationens betydelse under organisatorisk förändring : En fallstudie på AstraZeneca om kommunikationsbarriärer

Robertsson, Anton January 2019 (has links)
In today’s rapidly changing environment, organizational change is more important than ever before for companies to remain competitive. Additionally, there is an increasing need that change leadership theory needs a new perspective which emphasizes the need to further investigate the area. Communication is a part of change leadership theory. Although leadership communication is a thoroughly researched theoretical field, the dynamics of the communication process is limited and needs to be further investigated. This thesis has therefore focused on leadership communication during organizational change. By designing a dynamic communication model, this study aims to develop an increased understanding of communication barriers in companies during organizational change. This thesis is based on a case study at AstraZeneca. Data in this study have been retrieved through a survey and interviews conducted at the company. The communication process has been identified to consists of three phases; Explaining the Change, Getting Others Along, and Anchoring the Change. Based on these three phases, three barriers to leadership communication during organizational change have been identified; Lack of Understanding, Lack of Requesting, and Lack of Time. By understanding these barriers and comparing them to existing literature, a dynamic communication model has been proposed. This model consists of the theoretical anchored communication phases; Sender, Message, Receiver, and Feedback together with the three identified communication barriers; Lack of Understanding, Lack of Requesting, and Lack of Time. This model is considered as a foundation for future studies intended to develop a dynamic communication model suitable for organizational change. The model can also be viewed as a tool for managers in organizations characterized by change who want to enhance their communicating ability and overcome these communication barriers. / I dagens snabba förändringstakt är det viktigare än någonsin för företag att förbli konkurrenskraftiga. Det finns dessutom ett ökande behov av att förändringsledningsteorin behöver ett nytt perspektiv, vilket betonar vikten av att undersöka detta område. En del i förändringsledarskapsteorin är kommunikation. Trots att ledarkommunikation är ett väl undersökt teoretiskt område, är teorin om kommunikationsprocessens dynamik begränsad och behöver undersökas ytterligare. Denna studie har därför fokuserat på ledarkommunikation under organisatorisk förändring. Genom att utforma en dynamisk kommunikationsmodell syftar denna studie till att utveckla en ökad förståelse för kommunikationsbarriärer i företag under organisatorisk förändring. Denna uppsats är baserad på en fallstudie på AstraZeneca. Data har inhämtats genom en enkät och intervjuer genomförda hos företaget. Kommunikationsprocessen har identifierats att bestå av tre faser; Att förklara förändringen, Att få med sig andra och Att förankra förändringen. Baserat på dessa tre faser har tre barriärer för ledarkommunikation under organisatorisk förändring identifierats; Brist på förståelse, Brist på efterfrågan och Tidsbrist. Genom att förstå barriärerna och jämföra dem med befintlig litteratur har en dynamisk kommunikationsmodell föreslagits. Denna modell består av de teoretiska förankrade kommunikationsfaserna; Avsändare, Meddelande, Mottagare och Återkoppling tillsammans med de tre identifierade kommunikationsbarriärerna; Brist på förståelse, Brist på efterfrågan och Tidsbrist. Denna modell ses som en grund för framtida studier avsedda att utveckla en dynamisk kommunikationsmodell som är lämplig för organisationsförändringar. Modellen kan dock också ses som ett verktyg för ledare i organisationer kännetecknade av förändring som vill förbättra sin kommunikationsförmåga och övervinna dessa kommunikationsbarriärer.
