ANALOG DEVICES' WEBCAST "THE FUNDAMENTALS OF RF TRANSMISSION AND THE RECEPTION OF DIGITAL SIGNALS" ADDRESSES CHALLENGES FOR DIGITAL MODULATION

Norwood, MA (09/07/2011) - (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a world leader in semiconductors for high-performance signal processing applications, will broadcast "The Fundamentals of RF Transmission and the Reception of Digital Signals" webcast on September 14, 2011, at 12:00 pm EDT. Because most modern day transceivers transmit and receive digitally modulated data, this 60-minute webcast will focus on digital modulation, an important topic for RF designers.

About "The Fundamentals of RF Transmission and the Reception of Digital Signals" Webcast

Some of the topics to be addressed by this webcast include the following:

• What happens to a digitally modulated signal during wireless transmission?

• What RF components are most effective for transmitting and receiving digitally modulated signals?

• What are the key parameters for RF transceiver components and why are these specifications important?

• What types of digital modulation are there and how does the type of modulation affect the key spec parameters for RF components?

Who Should Attend

Students and engineers new to the field of RF communications, as well as those more experienced engineers looking for a refresher on this topic will benefit from attending this webcast.

The Presenter

This webcast will be presented by Larry Hawkins, business development manager for ADI's RF Group. Larry holds a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, specializing in RF, from the University of Utah and has authored many technical papers and seminars.

Fundamentals of Designing with Semiconductors For Signal Processing Applications Webcast Series From Analog Devices

Throughout 2011, Analog Devices is presenting the "Fundamentals of Designing with Semiconductors For Signal Processing Applications," a monthly webcast series that guides participants through each stage of the basic signal chain, from amplifiers to data converters – those components that convert the analog electronic signal into a digital stream – then to the heart of many modern circuits, the digital processor, and then back to the analog domain. The series also covers what is needed to power today’s circuits, how to make them portable, how to lay them out, as well as provide an introduction to design tools, tips and techniques that help solve design challenges quickly. Each webcast is followed by a Q&A with a technical expert. To learn more about ADI’s online training resources for a variety of design needs, visit http://www.analog.com/pr/webcasts
