DESCRIPTION:Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications has been a
  topic of interest in the research community since its discovery in 1998. 
 Originally conceived as a mechanism for communicating data more rapidly\, 
 the definition of MIMO has since expanded to include other multiple antenn
 a functions and has been integrated into communications standards and impl
 emented in various chips and wireless systems. In this talk\, we will disc
 uss the history of MIMO\, its various modalities and how they function con
 ceptually\, and look at a few applications of the technology in WiFi and c
 ellular. We will also discuss MIMO’s effectiveness in line-of-sight (LOS
 ) environments and associated employment strategies and its potential appl
 ication to 5G.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Brett T. Walkenhorst\, \, Dr. Brett T. W
 alkenhorst\, \n\nAgenda: \nLunch will be catered by Moe's Southwest Grill.
  Lunch will be served starting at 11:30 AM. Dr. Walkenhorst’s presentati
