Many designers under appreciate the many issues associated with wirelessly enabling their designs, to the extent that delays of up to three or four months are commonplace. As the number of wirelessly enabled embedded starts to grow exponentially with the emergence of the smart grid and myriad portable devices and sensors, the number of engineers getting blindsided will grow proportionately.
It is with this in mind that we present the Fundamentals of
Wireless, where Octoscope’s president Fanny Mlinarsky, a recognized
expert it the field of wireless, will provide the information needed to
get a wireless design of the ground -- on deadline.Starting with the an
overview of wireless interface options, both standard and proprietary,
the course will cover terminology, FCC regulations and the unlicensed
bands, will continue through the selection of a wireless interface and
guidelines on antenna layout, and finish with practical, hands-on
implementation example using a radio design from Silicon Labs.
