DSP World Spring Design Conference Provides Crucial Update for Engineers Working With Signal Processing
PR Newswire - January 07, 1998 06:04
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- The worldwide electronics industry is increasingly driven by digital signal processing technologies, as new applications in automotive, industrial and consumer markets match the continued expansion of digital communications technology. Consequently, continuing education programs such as the DSP World Spring Design Conference, are crucial for electronics design professionals who must understand the complexities of DSP design.
The DSP World Spring Design Conference, running April 21-23, 1998 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif., provides an essential update on the latest technology for anyone who needs to evaluate and implement DSP solutions. The conference features dozens of workshops -- each rated as introductory, intermediate or advanced -- on a variety of topics, from the use of DSPs in consumer applications, to software development issues and system-on-chip DSP solutions.
"The DSP World Spring Design Conference is an important event in our information gathering activities," said Joyce Putscher, senior analyst for In-Stat's Micro Logic Service. "This year's solid program of tutorials and workshops makes the conference an ideal one stop shot to learn about the technologies, architectures and applications that are driving the growth of this industry."
The 1998 DSP World Spring Design Conference opens on Tuesday, April 21 with four full-day tutorials. Topics include an in-depth look at ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) applications; a comprehensive review of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), and both introductory and advanced reviews of DSP technologies and microprocessor architectures.
On Wednesday, April 22 and Thursday, April 23, 45 different technical sessions will be presented by an international faculty of 55 of the world's foremost DSP engineers and researchers. Classes will range from DSP basics, with introductory classes on digital communications, speech coding algorithms, and spread spectrum systems to advanced topics such as the detection of hidden harmonics and error rate estimation.
The program includes two panel discussions. A two-part panel
discussion on DSP architectures begins on Wednesday afternoon, April 22, and continues on Thursday afternoon. Panelists will discuss the architectures that they developed, and time will be provided for attendees to ask questions. The second panel discussion takes place on Thursday morning, April 23. Engineers from Dolby Laboratories, Digital Theater Sound, Lucasfilm (THX Division) and TMH Laboratories, Inc. will discuss current and future DSP applications for digital audio in the entertainment industry.
A sampling of the classes offered includes such topic as:
* DSP as an Engine for Integration in Advanced Storage Products
* Embedded DSP Technologies in Consumer Applications
* Design, Simulation, and Implementation of a DSP Interference Rejection Processor for the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Project
* Real-Time Software Development for System ICs with Multiple Embedded Processors
Other classes are designed to help traditional analog designers integrate DSP technology into project designs. Analog/mixed signal course offerings include:
* The Care and Feeding of Analog and Mixed-Signal Components for the Digital Engineer
* Mixed Signal Issues in Communications
* How to Design with High-Speed Pipeline A/D Converter
Additionally, a keynote speech on the evolution of block-diagram design environments for DSPs wraps up a full day of classes on Wednesday, April 22.
In addition to the extensive program of workshops and tutorials, the DSP World Spring Design Conference includes a product exhibition where dozens of vendors will show the latest in processors, boards, and development tools as well as DSP-based systems solutions.
