Software Defined Radio has already start its way to conquer traditional radio configurations, by moving base band (de)modulators completely to the digital world and thus implementing it by software. Nevertheless, it is expected that Cognitive Radio, CR, will be the next frontier in terms of radio architecture design, in fact the new paradigm that CR can bring to traditional ways to think on radio architectures, is so huge, as it was the transition from Analog to Digital systems.
The agility of the transceiver architectures, combined with an optimization of radio front ends, is the main objective of this workshop, and will be discussed intensively throughout the several technical sessions and invited speakers during the two day period.
This conference/workshop is a two day conference where the first day is composed of invited speakers, and the second day is composed of regular submitted papers.
The workshop will be held in Aveiro/Portugal from 22 to 23 of February 2010,
and it already has two distinguished invited speakers that have confirmed
its presence, they are:
Prof. Fadhel Ghannouchi from University of Calgary, Canada, with
a talk devoted to “SDR Based Power amplifiers /Transmitters for Advanced
Wireless and Satellite Communications”,
Dr. Linus Maurer, from DICE, Linz, Austria, with a talk
devoted to “Highly Flexible Digital Front-End Enhanced CMOS-Based RF
Transceivers”
Prof. Joe Mitola III, from Stevens Institute, USA, with a talk
devoted to “The front end needs for real SDR/CR implementations”
