| Brief Bio Blagovest Shishkov is professor in Statistical Signal Processing at the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. He holds a Master degree in Electrical Engineering and Doctoral degrees – PhD in Physics, and DSc in Telecommunications, and has published over one hundred scientific and professional articles as well as several books. He has been responsible for several research projects, including national (Bulgarian) and international. His research interests include signal processing of cyclostationary signals and detection of nonlinear wave interactions by using higher-order statistics, which areas are successfully incorporated into adaptive antenna beamforming and analysis of time series associated with space data. He has realized a long-running collaboration with some of the most distinguished universities and labs in Japan, and was a research fellow in leading universities in France and Spain.

| Abstract Wireless communication networks can be considered as a means of linking portable user terminals that meet temporarily in locations where connection to a network infrastructure is difficult. Hence, techniques are needed that contribute to the development of high-performance receiving antennas with the capability of automatically eliminating surrounding interference. Solutions to this problem have been proposed for the conventional linear antenna arrays where we observe nevertheless complex architectures resulting in high power dissipation. In this talk, I will consider novel algorithms for the analog aerial beamforming of a reactively controlled adaptive antenna array as a non-linear spatial filter by variable parameters. Based on stochastic approximation theory, such algorithms have great potentials for use in mobile terminals and provide therefore important support for wireless communication networks. The resulting unconventional adaptive antenna can lead to dramatically simplified architectures that result in significantly lower power dissipation and fabrication costs. |
