ECEn Alumnus Knut Grimsrud Named Intel Fellow
Intel recently selected BYU ECEn alumnus Knut S. Grimsrud as an Intel Fellow. Since 1980, Intel has named only seventy-one fellows and Grimsrud is one of nine new fellows this year. Grimsrud received his electrical engineering BS, computer engineering MS, and Ph.D. degrees from BYU, finishing in 1993. He currently leads an Intel research and development group responsible for mainstream and consumer storage inferface definition and enabling.

Dr. Swindlehurst receives research award
Dr. Swindlehurst received a Karl G. Maeser Excellence in Research and Creative Arts Award at this year's university conference in August. The award recognizes faculty members whose outstanding research and scholarship has influenced their field well beyond local and regional boundaries. Awardees are also well rounded: their devotion to research is fueled by love for teaching, and they enhance lectures with their research.

Dr. Jensen and Dr. Rice with graduate students Tom Nelson and Adam Anderson win Best Paper Award
Michael Jensen, Michael Rice, Tom Nelson, and Adam Anderson coauthored the paper ""Orthogonal Dual-Antenna Transmit Diversity for SOQPSK in Aeronautical Telemetry Channels"" This paper was presented October 20, 2004 at the International Telemetering Conference in San Diego, CA and appears in the Proceedings of the Conference. This paper shows that transmit diversity can be used to overcome self-interference generated by using two transmit antennas in air-to-ground communication links used in flight testing.

Two Articles Published in IEEE Transactions
BYU professors and graduate students published two articles this month in IEEE Transactions on Aerospace Electronic Systems. Professors Michael Jensen and Michael Rice and graduate student Adam Anderson authored the article “Aeronautical Telemetry Using Multiple-Antenna Transmitters.” This article develops the theory behind the use of transmit diversity to overcome self-interference when multiple transmit antennas are used for the air-to-ground link in aeronautical telemetry applications. Rice and graduate student Erik Perrins authored the article “Reduced-Complexity Detectors for Multi-h CPM in Aeronautical Telemetry.” This article examines complexity-performance trade-off for the multi-h CPM modulation defined in the IRIG 106-04 standard for aeronautical telemetry.
