Information Theory Society
The Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV Information Theory Society is the premier professional society dedicated to the advancement of the mathematical underpinnings of information technology for the benefit of humanity. Information theory encompasses the processing, transmission, storage, and use of information, and the foundations of the communication process.
Aspects of Our Society
Outreach
A gathering of videos, books and more that show how information theory impacts our lives.Meet IT Society Students
The Student and Outreach Subcommittee plans student and outreach activities at symposia and workshops.Read Our Newsletter
The Âé¶¹´«Ã½AV Information Theory Society Newsletter connects our members and is published four times a year.  Beginning with the March 2022 issue, the Newsletter is online only.Upcoming Events

Research In Information Theory
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for holographic multiantenna communication, a paradigm that integrates both wide apertures and closely spaced antennas relative to the wavelength. The presented framework is physically grounded, enabling information-theoretic analyses that inherently incorporate correlation and mutual coupling among the antennas. This establishes the combined effects of correlation and coupling on the information-theoretic performance limits across SNR levels.
