Description

We would like to cordially invite you to KIVI Telecommunications' theme meeting on "Increasing transmission speed smartphones by multi-radio coexistence".

The number of different wireless standards such as WiFi, Bluetooth, GSM, UMTS and GPS supported by handheld devices such as smartphones has steadily increased in recent years. A major problem that arises here is the interference of different standards with each other, the so-called "coexistence problem". Because the different receivers and transmitters are in practically the same location in a device, the coupling is many times stronger than in other situations where transmitters and receivers are at greater distances from each other. The successful coexistence of different wireless standards in a single handheld device is therefore an increasingly important subject of research. By distinguishing between desired and undesired signals purely on the basis of intrinsic properties of these signals due to the configuration in which they are necessarily located, the coexistence problem between different wireless standards within a smartphone can be solved.

During this meeting, the 2014 Veder Prize will be awarded. Every year, the Scientific Radio Fund Foundation Veder presents the so-called Veder Prize to individuals who have made pioneering contributions in the field of radio and telecommunications science. In this meeting, the prize will be awarded to Dr Erwin Janssen.
Dr Erwin Janssen (NXP) will present his work in this area, based on his PhD work entitled "Methodologies for Multi-Radio Coexistence; Self-Interference Suppression Techniques".

After this meeting, you are welcome to join us for informal drinks
