Martin Linnartz, Beeldend Kunstenaar

Martin Linnartz illustreerde diverse wetenschappelijke publicaties. Hiernaast staan enkele illustraties uit de dissertatie van zijn zoon Jean-Paul Linnartz. Deze dissertatie werd in 1993 door Artech House (Boston, London) uitgegeven.

 Throughout history, man has shown a particular interest in communication. The demand for communication is closely related to mobility. Currently, a rapid growth of 'mobile communication' is seen, which is made feasible by recent technological developments. Mobile communication involves (radio-) communication in which at least one of the terminals can be in motion. Congestion of the radio frequencies allocated for mobile services requires highly efficient use of the electromagnetic spectrum.

 

 

     
 
     

 

 

Prof. Jean-Paul Linnartz, U.C. Berkeley, in een voorwoord van het boek "Land Mobile Radio Networks"


Artech House, 1993

"The cover and [several] Figures have been drawn by my father, Martin Linnartz. It is with great pleasure that I include these pencil drawings, though not as a direct justification or visualisation of the scientific results reported in this dissertation: an artist's interpretation, visualised in these drawings fits the abstracting and delimiting character of an introduction to theoretical analyses.

By describing real-life systems by (idealised, mathematical) models and interpretations, scientific research appears to have clear analogies with the work of an artist. Both the artist and the researcher observe and analyse (natural or artificial) systems and formulate their own (modelled) world. Despite all limitations, such models yields valuable insight in the system investigated. To me, this is the most appealing aspect of scientific research."

Een faculteitskrant van The University of California at Berkeley besteedt in 1992 aandacht aan Martin's werk, naar aanleiding van de benoeming van zijn zoon. Zie het artikel (pagina 3, 8).
