IEEE CAS Workshop on Wireless Communications and Networking

August 9-10, 2001

at University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana


Submission of 500-word Abstract

Advanced Technical Program Now Available.


The realization of high-capacity, high-performance wireless communication networks and appliances requires ever more sophisticated RF and signal processing circuits and systems. These include multiband RF chips; "software radio" circuits capable of emulating a wide range of modulation formats, filter characteristics, network protocols and control functions; complex but low-powered signal detection circuits for single and multiple users; and integrated antennas. This workshop is the fourth in the series of the IEEE CAS Workshop on Emerging Technologies that started in Lucerne, Switzerland in June 1998. It is intended to bring together experts in wireless communication networks, systems, and component circuits and devices, to identify emerging designs and techniques that will make possible the ubiquitous wireless communication networks and appliances of the future. This workshop will be run in a single-session format featuring oral presentation by invited speakers and contributed papers presented in poster sessions. The workshop also features two keynote speakers, Dr. Jerry Foschini of Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, Inc., and Dr. Steve Weinstein of NEC-USA.
