Many areas are moving from hardware only to a mix of hardware and software and in some cases, mostly software.  This one day workshop will address changes in design and implementation. We will discuss software defined radios (SDR), cognitive radios, software defined networks (SDN) and antennas.  The workshop will be a combination of lecture, informal presentations, demonstrations, and some hands on activities. Attendees with technical backgrounds should learn something new as well as seeing changes to old established areas. 

As the day’s schedule, speakers, and demonstrations evolve, we will post updates. Expected update schedule is as follows:

Friday November  24– completed

Friday December 1 — completed

Friday December 8 — completed

Wednesday December 13

Speaker(s): Dr. Yang Guo, Internet and Scalable Systems Metrology Group, NIST,
