Theory, Practice and Reality of Spectrum Seminar

This seminar series focuses on issues of spectrum use for commercial purposes, social benefit and scientific research for the next 50 years and beyond. Our goal is to explore spectrum issues with the ultimate objective of enabling coexistence across a multitude of spectrum applications. We will view these issues through many lenses, including RF circuit design, antennas and radar, communication systems, wireless networks, testbed development, spectrum economics and policy, radio astronomy and community engagement.

Topic: Sense and Sense-ability: Spectrum needs now and in the future for sensing applications

From the lower earth atmosphere, through the ionosphere, into the far reaches of the universe, modern society requires the ability to sense our surroundings to ensure safety and security and to learn more about the world around us. All of these applications hinge on access to quiet frequency spectrum. Conversely, modern society increasingly requires more frequency spectrum to communicate and share information - putting pressure on the preserved frequency spectrum for sensing. This panel will discuss spectral needs for sensing applications, the impact of increasing noise, and possible areas for coexistence between sensing and communication systems.
