Lecture
In this first of a two part series, “Signal Transmission & Reception Techniques” will examine the transmission and reception of cell phone information and how it has drastically changed with the introduction of 4G and evolved further with the implementation of 5G. It will be shown how the changes to the current bands and added spectrum in the lower frequency bands (FR1) and the upper frequency bands (FR2) give and will give the user a significantly improved communication experience. In addition to added frequency spectrum, 5G deployment techniques will be examined that are still progressing to improve mobile communication, data through-put and signal availability. This lecture will show the evolution of communications to 5G and explain the technology that makes available enhanced mobile communications.
Speaker Bio:
Howard Hausman received his MSEE degree from Polytechnic University/Tandon School of Engineering, NYU where he was an Adjunct Professor. He is currently President/CEO of RF Microwave Consulting Services and an Adjunct Professor at Hofstra Universit and Adjunct Associated Professor at NYIT Adjunct Associated Professor at NYIT.
Formerly Mr. Hausman was CTO and VP of Engineering, before being appointed President/CEO of MITEQ Inc., a world renown microwave engineering company with approximately 500 employees. He has designed hardware, wrote papers, and lectured on microwave systems and components for Satellite Communications, Space Systems, Radar and Reconnaissance systems.
Howard Hausman is a recipient of an NYU Distinguished Alumni Award, the IEEE LI Alex Gruenwald Award “For outstanding contributions to enhance the knowledge of the IEEE LI Section members”, and a NASA Award for work on the Mars Landing System.
Mr. Hausman is currently the Chairman of the IEEE LI Communications Society and was awarded a patent “Measuring Satellite Linearity from Earth Using a Low Duty Cycle Pulsed Microwave Signal”. He also authored a textbook “Microwave Power Amplifier Design with MMIC Modules” published by Artech House.
Notes
There is no cost to attend this meeting, however, if you would like to receive Continuing Education Units (0.2 CEUs/2 PDHs) then payment of a $10 fee is required. You will also have to properly fill out an Evaluation Form to prove that you attended this lecture. Click here to open the PDF form. Download it to your local drive (look for the download button in upper right tool bar) and fill it out (the form can be filled in with most PDF readers). Save the form and email it to ambertec@ieee.org.
We accept electronic payment via Zelle. Zelle is a bank-to-bank transfer mechanism supported by most banks, without a fee, as part of their normal online banking capabilities. There is also a Zelle app available for your smartphone.
When you use Zelle with your bank, it will ask for four pieces of information: 1) the amount to send (enter $10.00), 2) what account you want to pull the money from (select whatever account you want to use), 3) the phone number or email of the recipient (enter ieeelicn@gmail.com. Don’t worry if you see the name of our Treasurer, David Rost, pop up), and 4) a memo field (please enter “yymmdd LICN CEU” where yymmdd are the year, month and date of the lecture).
As with any electronic payment, watch out for scammers. Scammers have been known to send payment requests to phones, then call you up claiming that your account has been compromised in some way. These scammers pretend to be with your bank and request that you verify your account credentials with them or try to pull money out of your account and ask you to read them the “two-factor authorization code” that will appear on your phone. Do not fall for this social engineering!
If paying by Zelle is a problem for you, then please contact John Dunn at ambertec@ieee.org for an alternate payment method.
