Background Prof. Michael Rice received his PhD from Georgia Tech, Atlanta, GA in 1991. He was with Digital Transmission Systems, Inc. in Atlanta and joined the faculty at Brigham Young University in 1991 where he is currently the Jim Abrams Professor in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. Professor Rice was a NASA/ASEE Summer Faculty Fellow at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory during 1994 and 1995 where he worked on land mobile satellite systems. During the 1999-2000 academic year, Professor Rice was a visiting scholar at the Communication Systems and Signal Processing Institute at San Diego State University. 

Research Professor Rice's research interests are in the area of digital communication theory and error control coding with a special interest in applications to aeronautical telemetry and software radio design. He has completed research in multipath modeling for aeronautical telemetry and land-mobile satellite channels, error control coding for aeronautical telemetry, multipath migitation techniques in aeronautical telemetry, synchronization techniques for constant-envelope modulations, and analysis/simulation of advanced, bandwidth efficient waveforms. 

Professional He has been a consultant to both government and industry on telemetry related issues. He is a member of the IEEE Communications Society. He was Chair of the Utah Section of IEEE from 1997 to 1999, Chair of the Signal Processing & Communications Society Chapter of the Utah Section from 2002 to 2003, General Chair of the 2008 International Telemetering Conference, and General Chair for the 2009 Communication Theory Workshop. He is currently the Chair of the Communication Theory Technical Committee in the IEEE Communications Society.

General Description

My research is in the general area of communication theory. In particular, I have experience in

• Error Control Coding
• Modulation and Detection
• Multipath Modeling and Mitigation (Diversity and Equalization)
• MIMO and Space-Time Coded Systems
• Synchronization
• Digital Signal Processing for Communications

Most of my work has focused in two areas

Aeronautical Telemetry

Telemetry comes from tele- (afar) and meter (to measure) and is an important element in testing airborne systems. See the BYU Telemetry Laboratory for a more detailed description of this work.

Signal Processing for Communications in FPGAs

In collaboration with the BYU Center for High-Performance Reconfigurable Computing (CHReC), we have developed a solid base for developing reconfigurable radios in FPGAs. See the BYU CHReC website for more details.
