4月13日至5月14日期间，不列颠哥伦比亚大学教授Julian Cheng来ylzzcom永利总站线路检测就全体师生关心的发表IEEE文章规范、通信理论等作了为期一个月的系列报告，ylzzcom永利总站线路检测马丕明老师主持报告，学院部分师生聆听了报告。
报告分为五个主题，分别是：如何撰写IEEE样式的文章、现代无线通信系统基本概念、MIMO技术、MIMO-OFDM技术和FSO通信系统。本次系列报告主要涉及三个主要内容，一是如何撰写IEEE样式的文章，简单的回顾随机过程和预备的数学知识；二是蜂窝概念，多址接入技术，无线信道，路径损耗，阴影，广义平稳非相关散射信道，多径衰落信道的分类，Jake模型，包括简要介绍扩频通信的调制技术，分集技术，RAKE（瑞克）接收机。MIMO（多输入多输出）系统，渐进分析和分级阶数，最大比传输，波束成型，分集复用折中，空时编码，Alamouti编码，MIMO系统的误码率分析，MIMO检测，OFDM（正交频分复用技术，MIMO—OFDM技术；三是综述FSO通信系统，采用OOK调制技术的FSO通信系统，次载波强度调变的FSO通信系统，指向误差问题和相干光学无线通信。
每次报告过程中，Julian Cheng教授都会与在座师生互动交流，加深听众的理解。报告结束后Julian Cheng教授耐心回答师生问题，整个学术报告现场气氛热烈融洽，Julian Cheng教授的精彩演讲得到了同学们和老师的热烈鼓掌，其报告对于研究生阶段的学习和研究具有重要的指导意义。
Julian Cheng received the B. Eng. Degree (First Class) in electrical engineering from the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada in 1995, the M.Sc. (Eng.) degree in mathematics and engineering from Queen’s University, Kingston, ON, Canada in 1997, and the PhD degree in electrical engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada, in 2003.
In July 2006, He joined the School of Engineering, The University of British Columbia, Okanagan campus, in Kelowna, BC, Canada as an Assistant Professor. In July 2011, he was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in the same School. Previously, Dr. Cheng worked for Bell Northern Research (BNR) and Northern Telecom (later known as NORTEL Networks), and taught at both University of Alberta and Lakehead University. His current research interests include digital communications over wireless channels, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing, spread spectrum communications, statistical signal processing for wireless applications, and optical wireless communications.
Dr. Cheng was the recipient of numerous scholarships during his undergraduate and graduate studies, which included a President Scholarship from the University of Victoria and a postgraduate scholarship from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC). He was also a winner of the 2002 NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship competition.
Dr. Cheng held an Adjunct Professor position with the University of Alberta (2005-2010). He is a registered Professional Engineer in British Columbia.
