  • 作者简介:Dr. Jun Fang graduated from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 1982, and received his Ph.D. from Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Paris (ENST Paris) in 1987. He has been an associate professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University since 1987. He worked with Alcatel Space Industries from 1990 to 2001 in several R&D and management positions. He was senior vice president of Linkair Communications USA from 2001 to 2005, and then worked as digital design director with TechnoConcepts from 2005 to 2006. During this time he was involved in digital RF-mixed chip projects. Dr. Fang held a senior wireless system position in EDA with Cadence USA during 2006. Since 2009, he has been director of the Electronics & Information Technology Center of the Research Institute of Tsinghua University (RITS) and has led R&D and industrialization activities in wireless, signal processing, EDA, and digital TV multimedia. He has also been involved in wireless activities with CARITS Inc., a subsidiary of RITS in the U.S. Dr. Fang has written one book on information theory and coding, and he has contributed to ITU publications on satellite systems. He has 10 patents and published many technical papers. His current research interests include SDR, digital RF chip design, and MIMO transmission systems.

    Dr. Fa-Long Luo is chief scientist at two leading international companies, headquartered in Silicon Valley, CA, that deal with SDR and wireless multimedia. He has been the editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting since 2007. Dr. Luo is currently chairman of the IEEE Industry DSP Standing Committee and technical board member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society. He has 28 years of research and industrial experience in multimedia, communication and broadcasting with real-time implementation, applications, and standardization. He has received worldwide recognition. Dr. Luo has authored and edited four books, more than 100 technical papers, and 18 patents on these and closely related fields.

    Dr. Mikko Valkama is full professor and department head of the Department of Communications Engineering at Tampere University of Technology (TUT), Finland. He has been involved in organizing conferences such as the IEEE SPAWC'07 in Helsinki. He was awarded Best Ph.D. Thesis by the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters. His research interests include communications signal processing, estimation and detection techniques, signal processing algorithms for software defined flexible radios, and signal processing for cognitive radio. He is also interested in digital transmission techniques, such as different variants of multicarrier modulation methods and OFDM, and radio resource management for ad-hoc and mobile networks.

    Dr. Serioja Ovidiu Tatu received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the école Polytechnique, Montréal, in 2001 and 2004. From 2004 to 2005, he was a post-doctoral researcher at the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique-énergie Matériaux et Télécommunications, Montréal, and is now associate professor at that institute. His current research interests include millimeter-wave circuit design, hardware and software radio receivers, radar, and sensor systems.

    Dr. Tomohisa Wada received his B.S. degree in electronic engineering from Osaka University in 1983. He received his M.S.E.E. degree from Stanford University in 1992, and his Ph.D. degree in electronic engineering from Osaka University in 1994. He joined the ULSI Laboratory, Mitsubishi Electric Corp. in 1983. Since 2001, he has been a professor at the Department of Information Engineering, University of the Ryukyus, Okinawa. In 2001, he was the founding member of Magna Design Net Inc., an LSI design company for communication-related digital signal processing such as OFDM. Currently, he is chief scientist at Magna Design Net Inc. and is engaged in the research and development of terrestrial video broadcasting, wireless LAN, and WiMAX.
