Welcome to the 2004 Workshop
on Smart Antennas in Wireless Communications.
It
is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2004 Smart Antennas Workshop
being held at Stanford University from July 29 - 30, 2004.
The
remarkable development of multiple antenna communications technology has
been significantly influenced by Professor Arogyaswami Paulrajs
pioneering contributions to the area. His talent in advancing the theory
into practice is unique, and he has not only defined the starting point
but helped to shape and guide this fast progressing field to the point
where it is now being incorporated into several worldwide wireless standards.
The 2004 Smart Antennas Workshop serves to honor the numerous contributions
of Professor Paulraj to this field on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
Over
the past decade the Smart Antennas Workshops served as an annual event
for the research community to share recent results, experimental data
and to discuss future directions in multiple antenna wireless communications.
This year the technical program consists of 18 presentations. We are very
excited to have attracted many of the worlds top researchers and
engineers to this event, including, several of Prof. Paulrajs past
students and collaborators.
We
do hope that you will find the workshop insightful and rewarding. Please
enjoy the workshop hospitality and the beautiful environs of Stanford
University.
