Time:

11:30am - 1:00pm

Place:

Piccadilly Cafeteria at Madison Square Mall

Abstract: A variety of fundamental physical limits appear in antenna and in microwave practice. This talk will discuss three such limits: first, the fundamental limits on the size and efficiency of antennas, second, how the second law of thermodynamics sets limits on the performance of antennas, and finally, how the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle limits sampling precision.

Biographical Sketch: Dr. Schantz holds undergraduate degrees in physics and engineering from Purdue University and a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently an RF engineer with the Time Domain Corporation in Huntsville, Alabama. His work includes design and testing of ultrawideband (UWB) antennas and analysis of UWB RF systems.
