The object
Goldsmith pioneered MIMO wireless communication, a radio-hardware approach that uses multiple antennas to improve capacity and reliability. Its antenna and signal-transceiver design principles became a consequential part of modern cellular and Wi-Fi equipment, allowing physical communication links to use spectrum more effectively.
What Andrea did
Pioneered MIMO wireless communications technology used to increase radio-link capacity and reliability.
Why it matters
