He's not a ham - I checked. Still sounds interesting. WAY short notice.

Smart Antennas: Technology Integrating Antennas, DSP, Communications and Networks
As the demand for mobile communications is constantly increasing, the
need for improved capacity, greater coverage and higher transmission quality rises.
Therefore, a more efficient use of the radio spectrum is required. Smart antenna
systems are capable of efficiently utilizing the radio spectrum, and they are a promise
for an effective solution to meet the desired performance demands in network and
communication systems. Smart antenna technology has been considered for mobile
platforms such as automobiles, cellular phones (mobile units), and laptops.
Smart antennas integrate many technologies, including antennas, digital
signal processing, communications and networks. The advancement and integration
of the characteristics of each of these areas is critical to the efficiency and
performance of a communication system channel, as measured by Bit-Error-Rate
(BER) and network Throughput. This presentation reviews the basic principles of
smart antennas, and it presents and compares the BER and Throughput of
Biography
Constantine A. Balanis received the BSEE degree from Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA, in 1964, the MEE degree
from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, in 1966, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Ohio State
University, Columbus, OH, in l969. From 1964-1970 he was with NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton VA, and from
1970-1983 he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV. Since 1983
he has been with the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, where
he is Regents' Professor. His research interests are in computational electromagnetics, flexible antennas and high impedance
surfaces, smart antennas, and multipath propagation. He received in 2004 a Honorary Doctorate from the Aristotle University
of Thessaloniki, the 2017 IEEE MTT-S Rudolph Henning Distinguished Mentoring Award, the 2014 LAPC James R. James
Lifetime Achievement Award (UK), the 2012 Distinguished Achievement Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation
Society, the 2012 Distinguished Achievement Alumnus Award (College of Engineering, The Ohio State University), the
2005 Chen-To Tai Distinguished Educator Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, the 2000 IEEE
Millennium Award, the 1996 Graduate Mentor Award of Arizona State University, the 1992 Special Professionalism Award
of the IEEE Phoenix Section, the 1989 Individual Achievement Award of the IEEE Region 6, and the 1987-1988 Graduate
Teaching Excellence Award, School of Engineering, Arizona State University.
Dr. Balanis is a Life Fellow of the IEEE. He has served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas
and Propagation (1974-1977) and the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (1981-1984); as Editor of the
Newsletter for the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (1982-1983); as Second Vice-President (1984) and
member of the Administrative Committee (1984-85) of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society; and Distinguished
Lecturer (2003-2005), Chair of the Distinguished Lecturer Program (1988-1991), member of the AdCom (1992-95, 1997-
1999) and Chair of the Awards and Fellows Committee (2009-2011) all of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. He is
the author of Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design (Wiley, 2005, 1997, 1982), Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics
(Wiley, 2012, 1989) and Introduction to Smart Antennas (Morgan and Claypool, 2007), and editor of Modern Antenna
Handbook (Wiley, 2008) and for the Morgan
