Digital Signal Processing (Theory & Application): Short Course
Date(s): 3rd July 2012 (09:00) to 5th July 2012 (17:00)
Venue: Rewley House
Town/City: Oxford
County(s): Oxfordshire
Description:
This course provides a good understanding of DSP principles and their implementation and equips the delegate to put the ideas into practice and/or to tackle more advanced aspects of DSP. 'Hands-on' laboratory sessions are interspersed with the lectures to illustrate the taught material and allow you to pursue your own areas of interest in DSP. The hands-on sessions use specially written software running on PCs.
In the first session you will simulate signals and systems in both the time and frequency domains and work through illustrations of basic DSP functions. This will be followed by practical experiments with audio inputs and outputs and you will conduct experiments with external equipment to explore the real time capability of DSP. -
Practical RF/Microwave Design: Short Course
Date(s): 2nd July 2012 (09:00) to 6th July 2012 (17:00)
Venue: Ewert House
Town/City: Oxford
County(s): Oxfordshire
Description:
Due to the huge proliferation of wireless products, the use of RF system and sub-system elements is increasing. However, market demands in many business sectors are forcing dramatic cuts in the product-to-market schedule and on unit costs.
One of the major causes for RF projects running over budget or timescale projections is due to the prototype re-work phase, which arises from the complex nature of RF design.
This intensive, five-day practical course provides acceleration through the RF design learning curve by presenting a comprehensive introduction to RF and microwave design theory, techniques and measurements. It gives an overview of the fundamental concepts involved with RF/Microwave design and presents design methodologies for both passive and active RF and microwave circuits and antenna design. Common RF/Microwave measurements are detailed and demonstrated.
Many of the lectures rely on the use of live demonstrations involving test equipment and computer-based simulation tools to illustrate concepts. In addition, the delegates will have several opportunities to use the AWR Microwave Office design suite during the "hands-on" sessions of this course. The course will also demonstrate the use of state-of-the-art measurement instruments on day 4 (Thursday). -
