Juan Zeng receives Best Paper Award at Symposium on Circuits and Systems
Graduate student Juan Zeng received a Best Paper award at the 52nd IEEE International Midwest
Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2009. Juan Zeng, a student in Assistant Professor Valencia Joyner's
Advanced Integrated Circuits and Systems Laboratory worked with researchers Jun Liao, Shengling Deng, and Zhaoran Huang from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Optical multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) systems are emerging as a disruptive
wireless access technology with the potential to overcome
performance-limiting challenges faced by line-of-sight free-space
optical links in delivering on the promise of unlimited-bandwidth
wireless channels. The use of source/detector arrays in optical MIMO
processing alleviates the optical alignment issue and the signal fading
problem due to atmospheric turbulence. Diversity combining methods have
been shown to significantly reduce link outage probability and boost
power gain over nondiversity systems. Multi-channel diversity receivers
