ICASSP delegates are invited to attend two complimentary MathWorks workshops. Please register for one or both workshops. Please note that space is limited, so please register early.
When: Monday, March 15, 14:00 – 17:00
Where: Austin Ballroom 3
Presenter: Houman Zarrinkoub, Techincal Marketing, The MathWorks, Inc.
Workshop Description:
In this workshop, we introduce how you can use MathWorks tools to design, refine and implement your algorithms. We will present two distinct paths for implementing your MATLAB designs:
This workshop is appropriate for attendees with beginner to expert MATLAB experience.
When: Tuesday, March 16, 9:00 - 12:15
Where: Austin Ballroom 3
Presenter: John Irza, Technical Marketing, The MathWorks, Inc.
Workshop Description:
In this workshop, we introduce a user-friendly software-defined radio (SDR) development workflow for prototyping, research and education in wireless communications and networks. This workflow consists of multiple SDR platforms capable of digital modulation with synchronization and full control over the physical to network layer of the radios and an interface to Simulink.
Using the Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2 (USRP2) platform as the RF front end, this interface will use Simulink for software radio development and signal processing libraries. This combination of hardware and software will enable simple design and verification of radio systems in simulation, while allowing the user to easily test the system with live, over the air transmission. The use of Simulink for radio development will provide streaming access to the USRP2 via a user-friendly workflow environment.
These commonly available software packages and the USRP2 will make communication system prototyping both affordable yet highly versatile, enabling research and development groups around the world to conduct advanced experiments into new wireless communications and networking architectures including cognitive radio. The interface will allow students to become familiar with tools used in industry while learning communications and networking concepts through labs designed for undergraduate coursework.
The 3 hour hands-on tutorial will include the following topics:
When: Monday, March 15, 13:30 - 17:00
Where: Live Oak Room
Today’s media handling embedded processors have come a long way from the limited performance of 8-bit embedded processors or the limit functionality of a dedicated DSP chip. This hands-on BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) workshop presents ideas on how to use TI’s OMAP 3530-based BeagleBoard (www.BeagleBoard.org) for teaching embedded media processing using Open Source resources. The BeagleBoard is Open Source hardware that has sold over 13,000 units since its introduction less than 2 years ago.
Pre-workshop activities include loading an Ubuntu Linux virtual machine on your own laptop. The 3-hour Workshop activities will include 1) several demonstrations of what the Beagle can do, including streaming video, synthesizing speech and running as a simple web server, 2) Discussions of what topics to include in an embedded Linux class for signal processing and 3) Several hands-on exercises to get participants familiar with using the Beagle.
Participants will leave the workshop with a BeagleBoard and their laptop computer configured to teach with the BeagleBoard.
Presenters: Mark A. Yoder, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology; Gerald Coley, Texas Instruments
