Reidar Skaug was born in Norway in 1949. He received the B.Sc.
(Honours) degree in electrical and electronic engineering from
Heriot Watt University, UK in 1972 and the Diploma in Business
Administration from North European Management Institute, Norway in
1973. He joined the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (NDRE)
as a research scientist in 1974 after having completed his national
service as a technical instructor in the Norwegian Navy. At NDRE he
has worked as a project manager for several projects involving
spread spectrum communication systems. He was awarded a Canadian
Defence Research Fellowship in 1981 and spent one year at the
Communication Research Centre, Ottawa. In September 1982 he was
appointed Assistant Head of Division, Division for Electronics,
NDRE. He has published and presented several papers in the field of
spread spectrum communication. Mr Skaug is a Norwegian
representative to the NATO AGARD Electromagnetic Wave Propagation
Panel and is a Member of the IEE.
Jens Hjelmstad was born in Gudbrandsdalen, Norway. He graduated
from the Norwegian University of Technology, Trondheim in 1979 with
a thesis on the detectability of targets against sea background.
From 1979 to 1980 he worked at the Norwegian Defence Research
Establishment with high speed spread spectrum communication
systems. In 1980, he joined the Environmental Surveillance
Technology Programme of the Royal Norwegian Council for Scientific
and Industrial Research. His research interests lie in the area of
new radio science concepts utilising space, time and polarisation
processing.
Hjelmstad has contributed significantly to the communication and
radar communities through the NATO, URSI, IEE and IEEE scientific
organisations. He has published papers in the fields of adaptive
communication spread spectrum systems and adaptive multifrequency
radar systems, and presented unifying theories to the integrated
operation of communication and radar systems for remote sensing and
information transfer.
Hjelmstad has been involved in technological development programmes
for wideband spread spectrum communication systems, environmental
surveillance and data collecting systems, airborne and landbased
radars for sea surface measurements and adaptive air surveillance
radars.
