Seemingly not much. If one looks "under the hood", however, one discovers that they all rely on a common principle that renders their operation robust and reliable. This principle, known as feedback, is intuitive: see where you are, compare to where you want to be, and move in the direction that reduces the difference between the two. Though the feedback principle itself is simple to explain, understanding its implications, uses and limitations is far from it and forms the topic of a branch of engineering known as automatic control. *23rd May 2019* Winprop workshop: AP-MTT is also co-sponsoring a free workshop on wireless propagation modelling.
