 Second  of  Two  Tutorials  Cancelled 


 The  OET  Tutorial,  “Spectrally  Efficient  Technologies,”  originally  scheduled  for  the  afternoon  of 
 September  7  at  1:  30,  has  been  cancelled  because  of  difficulties  in  attending  that  have  been 
 encountered  by  the  presenter.  The  tutorial  scheduled  for  the  morning  of  September  7  has  not  been 
 cancelled. 


 The  morning  tutorial,  “Adaptive  Antennas:  Technologies,  Performance,  Regulatory  Issues”  will 
 be  presented  by  Dr.  Marc  Goldburg  of  ArrayComm,  Inc.,  in  the  Commission  meeting  room  on 
 September  7  from  9:  30  a.  m.  to  12:  00  p.  m.  Dr.  Goldburg  will  discuss  how  ever-  increasing 
 demands  for  radio  spectrum  and  affordable  end-  user  services  make  spectral  and  economic 
 efficiencies  imperative  for  wireless  systems.  He  will  show  how  adaptive  antennas  (so-  called 
 “smart  antennas”)  provide  significant  link  budget  improvements  and  interference  mitigation  in 
 systems,  leading  to  improved  coverage,  capacity  and  other  operational  benefits.  He  will  illustrate 
 how  this  technology  is  applicable  to  essentially  all  cellular  systems.
