MTT/AP-S Elections and Young Professionals Seminar

Microwave Theory & Techniques Society and Antennas & Propagation Society

Please join us at ADI for socialization with appetizers, a technical talk, and officer elections for the 2025-2026 MTT/AP-S Boston Chapter cycle.

Dr. Muhammad Saad Zia will discuss “Effects of Beam Misalignment on the Performance of Millimeter-Wave Cellular Networks”. The talk presents an approach to model the effect of beam alignment errors arising due to inaccurate channel estimation and analyze the impact on the system-level performance of a directional millimeter-wave (mm-wave) cellular network. Specifically, by modeling the variance of the beam alignment errors in terms of link parameters and utilizing stochastic geometric techniques, the loss in the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and rate coverage of the network is quantified. The talk considers two network configurations: 1) Modeling and analysis of a mm-wave only network with single-user beamforming at the BS and an isotropic antenna at the user, and 2) Extension to a heterogeneous network consisting of sub-6 GHz and mm-wave BSs
