                                 ABSTRACT

Multi-antenna wireless communications has gained considerable momentum
recently due its capability to enhance system performance. A major
impediment associated with conventional multi-antenna radios is the
need to replicate multiple transmit/receive chains, one for each
antenna. This results in substantial increases in power and chip area,
both of which are critical commodities in integrated circuit design.
This talk discusses the challenges of designing integrated circuits
for multi-antenna communications, and also discusses on-going research
in this area.

                       SPEAKER'S BIOGRAPHY
