Key 5G Physical Layer Technologies

Dr. Douglas H. Morais received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He received an M.Sc in EE from University of California, Berkeley, California  and a Graduate, AEA from Stanford University, Stanford, California. After decades in the industry he is currently a wireless communications consultant, author, short course lecturer, and inventor. Previously, he was President of the Wireless Group at Ortel Corporation and both Executive Vice President, Business Development and Technology and President, Wireless Products Group at California Microwave, Inc. He is the author of "Fixed Broadband Wireless Communications," Pearson Education, Inc., 2004. He has three US patents, including "Hard and Soft Bit Demapping for QAM Non-Square Constellations", "Quadrature Amplitude Modulation via Modified-Square Signal Point Constellation," and "Radio Communication System Using Frequency Division Multiplexing for Transmission Between a Master Station and a Plurality of Remote Stations,". He also participates in many IEEE conferences in the ComSoc space.
