IEEE Distinguished Lecturer Program >>> MIMO antennas, propagation channels, and their impact on system design
| Introduction |
Thailand National Electronics and Computer Technology Center (NECTEC) and IEEE Communications Society welcome you to join the IEEE Distinguished Lecture Tour in Thailand on Thursday, November 27, 2008 (14.00-16.00). The topic of the seminar is "MIMO antennas, propagation channels, and their impact on system design" which is presented by Prof.Dr. Andreas F. Molisch, a world class researcher in the field of wireless communications. |

| MIMO antennas, propagation channels, and their impact on system design |
Wireless multiple-input - multiple-output (MIMO) systems, defined as systems that have multiple antenna elements at both link ends, can greatly enhance the robustness and spectral efficiency of wireless communications. While most of the literature has concentrated on signal processing and space-time coding for MIMO, the fundamental performance limits are determined by the propagation channel and the way it is "excited" and "sampled" by the transmit and receive antenna arrays, respectively. In this talk, we first give an overview of array design, in particular, the question of how close we can space antennas. Subsequently, we describe typical propagation channels and how they impact system capacity; we also consider ways to describe the interaction between antennas and channels. Throughout the talk, we will show how the antenna and channel properties impact system capacity, diversity, and other system performance parameters. |

Andreas F. Molisch is a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff and Chief Wireless Standards Architect of Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (Cambridge, MA). He is also Professor and Chairholder for Radio Systems at Lund University, Sweden and Deputy Director of the national Center of Excellence for High-Speed Wireless Communications. Previously, he worked at AT&T's Bell Labs (NJ, USA) and the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. His current research interests are MIMO systems, ultrawideband (UWB) |
systems, wireless propagation channels, and cooperative communications. He has authored, co‐authored, or edited four books (among them, the textbook, "Wireless Communications”, recently translated into Chinese), 11 book chapters, more than 110 journal papers, and numerous conference contributions. He is an inventor of more than 70 patents, has been chairman of various standardization and industrial groups in the area of MIMO and UWB, and has received several awards. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, a Fellow of the EIT, and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. |
