Biographical Sketch

Paolo Altamura was born in Rome (Italy), the 12th of September 1973, he received the Degree in Electronic Engineering, “Applications to the broadcastings” guideline, at the University of Rome Tor Vergata in May 2000, mark: 100/100 with honours.
The title of his Thesis is: "Desing and Development of a QPSK Demodulator for Satellite Applications". The thesis was developed in collaboration with Alenia Spazio. The advisor was professor Gian Carlo Cardarilli, teacher of the course: "Electronics of Digital Systems" at University of Rome "Tor Vergata", and the co-advisor was Vincenzo Piloni of Alenia Spazio.
Since May 2000 he has been a collaborator of the Department of Electronic Engineering of the University of Tor Vergata, in April 2006 he received the Ph.D. Degree in ”Microelectronic Systems and Detectors for Space”, the title of his Thesis is: "Desing and Development of a programmable test-platform for rapid tests of telecommunication systems".
He has been a collaborator since November 2000 and an employee since June 2001 of the “ULISSE Consortium” in the same department as planner of electronic systems for telecommunications; he has got a good experience in the design of electronic systems, hardware implementation and realization of test benches.
 The main activities in which he has been engaged are: “Design and realization on FPGA of an OFDM modulator and demodulator” in collaboration with Siemens-Italtel and “Design of a solid-state mass-memory for space applications with high reliability and errors correction” in collaboration with Italian Space Agency (ASI).
In June 2002 he participated to the “1st IEEE International Conference on Circuits and Systems for Communications” in Saint Petersburg, (Russia) in which he introduced the paper whose title is ”OFDM Modem for ATM Based Point-Multipoint Systems”.
