Agilent is hosting a "Build-a-PHY" complimentary hands-on workshop.
It is aimed at designers with an interest in communication system architecture and graphical simulation tools, particularly those with a background in RF & Baseband (mixed-signal) algorithm design, physical layer (PHY) architecture and system partitioning, says Agilent.
According to the company: Modern communications systems are typically designed by separate baseband and RF analog teams, working independently. To avoid integration issues at a later date, it becomes the aim of the system architect to evaluate which components are most critical for the overall system performance, and to troubleshoot the combined system design in a connected design flow. Utilising simulation software, it is possible to understand where the design margins lie in a system, and analyse the throughput capacity of a link, and resilience to interference.
The free event takes place on Thursday 8 July at Agilent's centre in Winnersh.
