Welcome to the 4th International
Waveform Diversity and Design Conference!

Attractions

Please join us for the 2009 International Waveform Diversity & Design Conference in Orlando, Florida, USA. This fourth conference in the on-going series will continue to build on the success of the previous three conferences by bringing together researchers from numerous diverse backgrounds and specialties to facilitate the exchange and cross-fertilization of ideas and research. Recent advances in hardware technology are enabling a much wider range of design freedoms to be explored for sensor and communication systems. As a result, there are emerging and compelling changes in system requirements such as more efficient spectrum usage, higher sensitivities, transmitter/receiver agility, greater information content, improved robustness to errors, etc. The combination of these is fueling a worldwide interest in the subject of waveform design and the use of waveform diversity techniques.

The Keynote speaker will be Dr. Simon Haykin, Director of the Cognitive Systmes Laboratory, MCMaster University, Canada, well known for his significant contributions to adaptive signal processing and numerous applications thereof. The conference program consists of an exciting blend of sensing and communications topics relevant to waveform diversity including special invited sessions on MIMO Radar: Fact or Fantasy, Waveform Diversity for Communications, Adaptive Radar Waveform Design, and Recent Advances in Waveform Diversity. The full conference program is listed under the program tab above.

In addition to a wonderful technical program, the conference will include an exciting social program including the banquet which will be held at the World Fare Wonders of Life Pavilion at the Disney Epcot® Center. Guests arrive at Epcot® on their own with “After 4 pm” theme park admission included as part of the banquet package. At 6:30 pm, we will meet at the Wonders of Life Pavilion (cash bar available). We hope to see you there! For more details on the banquet and the banquet menu, click here.

Plan on seeing lots of exciting local attractions (many within walking distance) when you're done with your conference for the day. Special pricing is available to conference participants and their families/guests to purchase Disney Theme park tickets in advance.
