GOALI: Adaptive DSP in Emerging Communication Systems

本项目在美国国家科学基金会GOALI计划的“工业教师”活动下，支持C. Richard Johnson, Jr.教授（康奈尔大学电气工程学院）对应用信号技术公司（加州森尼维尔）进行为期12个月的访问（1998年8月至1999年7月）。作为联合负责人，应用信号技术公司的Michael G. Larimore博士监督、促进和合作了此次访问的所有主要活动，包括介绍自适应均衡器理论和设计的短期课程，开发盲均衡器设计的专著（基于在应用信号技术公司超过12年的经验和在康奈尔大学10年的理论工作）。并参与在新兴通信系统中利用自适应数字信号处理的产品开发团队。这种双边技术和教学交流的好处包括，在约翰逊教授未来的研究和教学工作中，提高相关性（并相应地缩小理论与实践之间的差距），并广泛传播有关自适应均衡理论和设计的课程和参考材料，以满足实践通信系统开发工程师的需求。

This project supports -- under the ``Faculty in Industry'' activity of NSF's GOALI program -- the visit of Professor C. Richard Johnson, Jr. (School of Electrical Engineering, Cornell University) to Applied Signal Technology (Sunnyvale, CA) for the 12-month period from August 1998 to July 1999. As co-PI, Dr. Michael G. Larimore of Applied Signal Technology monitors, expedites, and collaborates in all of the major activities of the visit, including presentation of a short course on adaptive equalizer theory and design, development of a monograph on blind equalizer design (based on over 12 years of experience at Applied Signal Technology and 10 years of theoretical work at Cornell), and participation in a product development team utilizing adaptive digital signal processing in an emerging communication system. The benefits of this bilateral technology and pedagogy exchange include a heightening of the relevance (and commensurate shrinkage of the theory- practice gap) in Professor Johnson's future research and teaching efforts and broad dispersion of course and reference materials on adaptive equalization theory and design tuned to the needs of the practicing communication systems development engineer.
