| This session will focus on techniques, and technology that enhance the performance of Satellite Communications systems, especially in the presence of interference. | |
| Barry Felstead received a B.Sc. in Engineering Physics in 1962, and a MSc in Electrical Engineering in 1964 both from the University of Saskatchewan. He received a PhD in EE in 1970 from Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. He has been at the Communications Research Centre, Ottawa since 1969. Since 1980, he has worked on MILSATCOM especially on spread-spectrum systems, antenna systems and related topics. Lori Jeromin received a B.S. in Mathematics in 1978 from Bucknell University, and an S.M. in Electrical Engineering in 1982 from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She has been at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory since 1978, working on optical and RF spread spectrum MILSATCOM. | |
| Wayne G. Phoel received the B.S. and M.Eng. degrees in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1993 and 1994, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Northwestern University in 2000. From 1994 through 1996 he worked on signal processing for radar applications at Calspan Corporation, Buffalo, NY. He contributed regularly to work at Motorola Cellular Infrastructure Group between 1997 and 2000. Since 2000, Dr. Phoel has been a member of the technical staff in the Advanced Satcom Systems and Operations group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. His current research interests are in the areas of communications and information theory with emphasis on modulation and coding and media access control. |
