Jean Armstrong is an engineering professor at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, was named Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2015 [1] for "contributions to the theory and application of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing in wireless and optical communications". She was inducted to the Victorian Honour Roll of Women in 2008. [2]

Armstrong was born in Scotland and later immigrated to Australia. [3] She received a B.Sc. in electrical engineering from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland in 1974, an M.Sc. in digital techniques from the Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1980, and a Ph.D. in digital communications from Monash University in Melbourne, Australia in 1993. [4] She has published many papers on wireless and optical communications, focusing specifically on Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing. [4] Her work has led to a number of commercialized patents. [4]

Between 1974 and 1977, she worked as a design engineer at Hewlett-Packard Ltd., Scotland. [4] Since 1977, she has been working in academia, holding positions at the University of Melbourne, Monash University, and La Trobe University. [4]

In 2016 she was awarded the Institution of Engineering and Technology Mountbatten Medal. [5]

In telecommunications, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) is a type of digital transmission used in digital modulation for encoding digital (binary) data on multiple carrier frequencies. OFDM has developed into a popular scheme for wideband digital communication, used in applications such as digital television and audio broadcasting, DSL internet access, wireless networks, power line networks, and 4G/5G mobile communications.

In telecommunications and computer networks, a channel access method or multiple access method allows more than two terminals connected to the same transmission medium to transmit over it and to share its capacity. Examples of shared physical media are wireless networks, bus networks, ring networks and point-to-point links operating in half-duplex mode.
