NOTICE-ULTRAWIDE BAND
LECTURE
|
What:
|
Lecture
Joint with
Signal Processing Society and FAU Student
Branch
Sponsored by
FAU Department of Electrical
Engineering
|
|
Topic:
|
"Ultrawide
Band"
Modern Ultrawide Band (UWB) has been in existence
since the 1940-1960 radar era and there has been a
surge of interest and invention since the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) legalization of UWB
emissions. UWB can optimize combinations of
precision communications at high data rates, low
power and low cost. We show some examples of
throughput for UWB in comparison to much higher
power 802.11a/b systems. The future makes possible
delivery of location-specific content, tracking of
high value assets and various automotive and home
based "location awareness"
capabilities.

SENIOR
MEMBERS
The section is
developing a core group of Senior Members, Fellows and
Honorary Members who will act as references for current
members who are interested in being given Senior Grade
Membership. The plan is to receive the candidates
information and have the officers pass it on to the
reference members. They will review and determine qualified
candidates and then pass to IEEE for further processing. As
soon as the section finalizes the reference core group, the
names of the candidates will be sent. It is now anticipated
that this will be done by e-mail for initial contact. At
some later date, the section will call a meeting/reception
for face to face contact. The core group will also function
for future candidacy.
If you are from either party, please send an email to the
section
e-mail address.
LIFE
MEMBERS
The section is surveying
Life Members seeking interest in forming an IEEE affinity
group. E-mails are being sent to potential group members and
if there is enough response, a group will be started.
Officers would be elected and activities would be planned.
The section will offer support. Life Members Tony Jamroz and
Ed Wolff are leading the effort to contact LM's. If you know
of any LM's who do not have e-mail, please let them
know.
