  Dr. Roy received his undergraduate degrees from M.I.T. in 1972, and graduate degrees in physics and engineering from Stanford in the 70's and 80's. His Ph.D. research was in the field of digital signal processing, specifically estimation and parameter identification. His thesis and subsequent patents formed the basis of the first widely deployed smart antennas in wireless communication systems.

  Dr. Roy has been involved in the intelligence industry, the oil-well services business, the aerospace industry, and the telecommunications industry over the last three decades. From 1975 through 1993, he was also a member of the Information Systems Laboratory at Stanford University where much of the early work in smart antenna technology was conducted.

  In April of 1992, he founded ArrayComm, Inc., a California corporation involved in the development of intelligent antenna products based on SDMA technology for wireless telecommunication applications. ArrayComm currently has several smart antenna-based products on the market and is in the process of developing others.

 Dr. Roy is widely published internationally and holds several patents in the area of intelligent antenna technology and wireless telecommunications.
