Introduction to Radar Webcast April 27

Apr 2016

Instructor Scott Bullock will present a free webinar on radar this April 27 at 8:00 AM Pacific Time/15:00 UTC. This webinar provides an introduction to the theory and operation of radar. Historically developed for the military, then government systems, radar is now being adopted commercially — with a radar in every car not far off.

New Course Focuses on SoC Issues

New Course Focuses on SoC Issues

Instructor Orin Eliezer has developed a new course, Designing RF Transcievers in Extensively Digital SoC's which will be offered next May. Wireless consumer-market products, such as cellular transceivers, WiFi radios and Bluetooth devices, are being made available at ever reducing costs, while offering greater amounts of functionality and higher performance. This is made possible by increasing the level of integration and incorporating wireless transceivers with processors and other circuitry into a monolithic CMOS (SoC). In such environment, the transceiver architecture relies more heavily on digital logic and software algorithms when compared to traditional RF design approaches. This allows such SoC devices to leverage the benefits of the advanced nanometer CMOS fabrication processes while addressing the challenges associated with the implementation of RF functions in such environment. The constant introduction of new wireless standards, as well as the need to acco ...
