Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Other Personal Area Networks
These courses cover "personal area network" systems such as Bluetooth and Zigbee. Signal propagation, modulation, packet structure, and error control are examined.
| 104 | Bluetooth Essentials This two-day course introduces and analyzes the Bluetooth radio system. Bluetooth signal propagation, modulation, packet structure, and error control are examined. The role of the Bluetooth link manager in establishing a connection and implementing security and encryption measures is discussed. The service discovery process, host controller interface, and the implementation of different application profiles are studied. Finally, the performance of Bluetooth is compared and contrasted to that of IEEE 802.11 and HomeRF. |
| 085 | Short Range Wireless Networks This four-day course covers the fundamentals of short-range wireless network design, deployment, and operation. Participants will study indoor signal propagation characteristics, advanced modulation techniques, network connectivity options, and regulation of unlicensed bands. Next, the IEEE 802.11a/b/g WLAN, IEEE 802.15.1 Bluetooth, IEEE 802.15.3 high-rate WPAN, and IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee specifications are examined in detail, and their operations compared. Security issues are addressed at the PHY and MAC level. Finally, interference between various wireless networks is analyzed and methods for improving their coexistence presented. |
| 205 | Wireless Systems Operations This five-day course covers the fundamentals of wireless system design, deployment, and operation. Participants will study indoor and outdoor signal propagation characteristics, advanced modulation and coding techniques, and network connectivity options. Next, the IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN, IEEE 802.15.1 Bluetooth, WiMedia high-rate WPAN, and IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee low-rate WPAN specifications are examined in detail, and their operations compared. Interference between various wireless networks is analyzed and methods for improving their coexistence are presented. Finally, the operation of GSM/CDMA cellular systems and IEEE 802.16 WiMAX is discussed. Course 205-4316:Dec 06-Dec 10, 2010: San Jose, CA Presented by Robert K. Morrow Register by 11/1/2010 and pay $1995, otherwise pay $2195 |
| 198 | Digital Wireless Audio Systems: Technology and Solutions This 3-day course provides attendees with a comprehensive introduction to digital wireless audio systems used for music and/or voice applications. Bluetooth audio solutions are discussed on day three of the course. Please see the outlline for more information. |
| 203 | Short Range Coexistence RF Transceiver Design Techniques This 4-day course provides technical professionals with the design concepts and development tools required to architect short range RF transceivers for most wireless applications. The course is intended for working engineers that are in the design, test or support phase of new transceiver technology. A complete understanding of design concepts CAD techniques and system level testing will be covered. Also, critical coexistence system specifications will be discussed based on worldwide standards and an in-depth review of hybrid, coexistence transceiver architectures will be evaluated. The use of RF simulation tools will be used to show design concepts and the trade-offs between multiple access techniques, modulation techniques and RF performance. The latest RFIC chip sets will be discussed along with the future of RFIC technology. A BSEE or equivalent experience is required along with a good understanding of RF fundamentals. |
| 179 | Wireless Data Systems Made Simple: WiFi, WiMAX, HSPDA & More This 2 day course begins with a survey of the wireless data transmission capability of existing cellular phones and wireless LAN systems. The principles of achieving high data rate wireless systems are then explained. Details of specific wireless data transmission systems are described, including GSM and CDMA cellular phones, WiFi (802.11) short range/high data rate systems, and WiMAX wide area networks. The course concludes with projections of the future. |
