Nicholas E. Buris, the president of NEBENS LLC will give a presentation at the 2009 Antenna Systems Conference titled, Cross-Layer Design of Smart Antenna Systems. Nick took the time to discuss this topic, its value and its importance in today’s environment.
Q: Are there any technology advancements or economical factors that make your presentation timely?
A: Yes. The added degrees of freedom of the Smart Antenna enabled systems allow for better overall system performance by performing cross-layer design. In many cases, intermediate specifications can be relaxed without a penalty on the overall performance. This relaxation of the intermediate specs can yield significant cost reduction.
Q: How can/will the information you provide impact attendees or their business operations?
A: The talk is designed to provide a glimpse of the methodology of cross-layer optimization and offer some practical examples for antenna design.
Q: Who is your presentation most targeted towards?
A: Antenna and RF engineers and their project/department managers
Q: What lasting value will the attendee receive?
A: The value of rigor and the fundamentals will never go out of style. In fact, the more complex our systems become, the greater the need to dig deep into the fundamentals.
Q: Any other comments for our attendees?
A: I have heard the venue is really nice and the conference will offer an opportunity to make good and new friends in a nice environment. Have a great time and do not hesitate to catch me for offline discussions if interested in the subject of my talk and how to apply it to your company's problems, as appropriate. |
