Integrated Systems Seminar Series - Prof. Fadhel Ghannouchi, University of Calgary
Fri, Oct 14, 2011 @ 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University Calendar
Title: RF/DSP Co-Designed Power amplifiers for Software Defined Radio Systems
Speaker: Prof. Fadhel Ghannouchi, University of Calgary
Location: EEB 248
Date: Friday, October 14, 2011
Time: 3pm â 4pm
Abstract:
The next wave in the information revolution will consist of bringing intelligence to the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, allowing seamless and intelligent networking and communication between different users using different services and operators. This will lead to the convergence of communication technologies, aiming at the development and deployment of cooperative and ubiquitous networks that involve existing and future wireless and satellite communications systems.
A critical element in enabling the convergence of different communication systems is the development of software defined radio (SDR) systems that can be used across different frequency bands and for multi-standard applications. This SDR has to be developed to support different frequency carriers and modulations schemes concurrently, in addition to being power and spectrum-efficient, in order to be able handle high data rates, while being less energy hungry and more environmentally friendly.
The design of power amplifiers as critical components in any SRD based communication terminal has to be considered closely together with the system architecture, in order to ensure optimal system level performances in terms of linearity and power efficiency. This implies the use of adequate transmitter architectures that convert the analog baseband information to architecture dependent amplifier driving signals, such as sigma-delta, EE&R, Polar and LINC architectures. This talk lays out the principles behind SDR systems and examines the design of software-enabled linear and highly efficient RF/DSP co-designed power amplifiers/transmitters for multi-standard and multi-band applications. Recent advances and practical realizations will also be presented and discussed.

An Evening with John Waters
Fri, Oct 14, 2011 @ 07:00 PM - 09:00 PM
USC Viterbi School of Engineering
Receptions & Special Events
Admission is free. Reservations required. Reservations will be accepted beginning Friday, September 23, at 9 a.m. at http://cinema.usc.edu.
Born in Baltimore in 1946, John Waters was drawn to movies at an early age. As a teenager, Waters began making 8mm underground movies influenced by Jean-Luc Godard, Walt Disney, Andy Warhol, Russ Meyer, Ingmar Bergman and Herschell Gordon Lewis. Using Baltimore as the setting for all his films, Waters assembled a cast of ensemble players, mostly native Baltimoreans and friends of long standing: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole and Edith Massey.
In 1972, Waters created what would become the most notorious film of 1970s American independent cinema, Pink Flamingos. Centered on the great battle to secure the title âFilthiest People Alive,â Pink Flamingos pitted Divineâs Babs Johnson against Mink Stole and David Locharyâs truly evil Connie and Raymond Marble, while making Waters an internationally famous cult icon. Pink Flamingos went on to become a smash success at midnight screenings in the United States and all over the world. Waters has directed sixteen films, including Female Trouble, Polyester, Hairspray, Cry-Baby, Serial Mom, Pecker and A Dirty Shame. Following a screening of Pink Flamingos, James Egan, USC cinematic-arts professor and editor of the forthcoming book Interviews with John Waters, will moderate a conversation with Waters about his iconoclastic career as a filmmaker, author and celebrity.
Organized by the USC School of Cinematic Arts.
