John Litva (SM'92) is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ont., Canada, and an Advisory Professor at the Nanjing University of Science and Technology in Nanjing, China. He is the holder of the Microwave Antenna Chair sponsored by Spar Aerospace and NSERC, as well as being a Thrust Leader in the Telecommunications Research Institute of Ontario (TRIO). TRIO is a university industry based Centre of Excellence, which is funded by the Province of Ontario, and whose mandate is to conduct research in support of the telecommunications industry in Ontario. As well, he is a director of the Communications Research Laboratory (CRL), which is a separate research institute located at McMaster University. The CRL carries out research in the areas of signal processing, software engineering, microwaves, computer modeling, and antennas. The research is directed towards applications in satellite and terrestrial communications, and, in particular, PCS. He has published over 100 papers and has lectured widely on selected topics in numerical techniques for analyzing microstrip antennas, digital beamforming, nonlinear and adaptive beamforming, integrated antennas, and simulation and analyses of multiputh signals. At present his interests are centered on: 1) digital beamforming for satellite communications, 2) intelligent antennas for PCS, 3) electromagnetic modeling, and 4) propagation measurements, modeling, and simulations for PCS.
