RFIC design research at the University of Texas at Austin Speaker: Prof. Theodore (Ted) S. Rappaport, UT Date: 14th April 2010 Time: 6.30PM - 7.30PM Venue: AT&T Labs, 9505 Arboretum Blvd, Austin, TX 78759 Venue Map (Google Maps) Click Here to Register Contact: Saurabh Sureka - sab@ieee.org Talk Abstract:
The
capabilities of massively broadband wireless devices, operating at
carrier
frequencies of 60 GHz to 90 GHz, and above, will enable an era of
ubiquitous
portable content, and will eliminate today's bulky, cumbersome storage
devices
such as hard drives, large paper texts, and CDs. Prof. Rappaport will
present
the work being done by his group in millimeter-wave wireless
communication and
the potential of this exciting new technology area.
Speaker Profile: Prof. Ted Rappaport is the William and Bettye Nowlin Chair in Engineering and the founding director of the Wireless Networking and Communications Group (WNCG) at the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to joining UT Austin in 2002, he was on the electrical and computer engineering faculty of Virginia Tech where he founded the Mobile and Portable Radio Research Group (MPRG), one of the world's first university research and teaching centers dedicated to the wireless communications field. Prof. Rappaport has been a pioneer in the fields of radio wave propagation, wireless communication system design, and 60 GHz/millimeter wave communications, and his work has influenced many international wireless standard bodies. Prof. Rappaport is a Fellow of the IEEE and currently serves on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. |
