Lecture
In Part 2 of our two part series, “Modulation, Packet Switching and MIMO Techniques” focuses on Internet protocols, Packet switching and signal modulation techniques that optimize communication data rates while maintaining an acceptable Bit Error Rate (BER).
Discussed are the advantages of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) that optimize the allocated frequency spectrum enabling time and frequency resources to be dynamically allocated.
Also explained are Multiple Input, Multiples Output (MIMO) Antenna systems and Massive MIMO antenna systems that provide data redundancy, mitigation of signal multipath issues and increase efficiency and flexibility in dense user environments.
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 the following 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), and 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). If it asks for a memo field, we suggest entering "yymmdd LICN CEU” where yymmdd are the year, month and date of the lecture.
While we prefer that your payment and evaluation form are received by the day of the lecture, they must be received by the first Monday after the lecture.
If paying by Zelle is a problem for you, then please contact John Dunn at ambertec@ieee.org for an alternate payment method.
