26th Annual ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference September 28-30, 2007 Hartford, CT http://www.tapr.org/dcc -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Did you make your hotel reservations? If you did, great! If you did not, you get a short reprieve. The conference hotel has graciously extended the DCC room rate until Sep. 10th. Call the hotel directly and ask for the DCC rates. Hotel information is available on the DCC web side http://www.tapr.org/dcc. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Banquet Speaker - Bruce Perens K6BP It is our pleasure to have Bruce Perens, K6BP, noted open source advocate as the DCC Banquet speaker. Bruce is a leader in the Free Software and Open Source community. He is creator of the Open Source Definition, the manefesto of the Open Source movement in Software. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Introductory Talks There are two introduction to talks scheduled for Saturday morning. Introduction to Eagle CAD by Dan Welch, W6DFW Introduction to HF Digital by Steve Ford, WB8IMY -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Sunday Seminar A Stroll Through Software Radio, Information Theory, and Some Applications By Bob McGwier, N4HY The Sunday seminar this year will cover several technical topics. Software Radio will be the main theme and a package of tutorials and give away software will be a part of the seminar. The attendee will be exposed to the basic concepts of and building blocks of a simple software radio system and some information theory exposure will be given. The quadrature sampling detector will be analyzed and why it is such a wonder will be discussed. Its wonderful properties make it an excellent choice for a linear transponder system so its use in the AMSAT software defined transponder will be discussed. Some necessary information theory will be discussed with examples with the goal of leaving the attendee with a working knowledge of the practical use of this theory in thinking about communication systems. Finally, as time permits, we will show some software radio systems from the $30 softrock40 to GnuRadio/USRP doing multi megabit per second OFDM on the air and then a technical description of the Flex5000 and DttSP will be given. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Conference Registration You can register for the DCC online at http://www.tapr.org/dcc _______________________________________________ tapr-announce mailing list NOTE: This list includes all addresses currently subscribed to any TAPR mailing list.
