Summer courses focus on high-speed
design
Oxford University has established two new high-speed digital engineering courses for its 2003 summer engineering programme.
Oxford University has established two new high-speed digital engineering courses for its 2003 summer engineering programme "These new courses, like the others we already offer, are taught by the very experts who literally wrote the book on high-speed digital circuits and signal integrity", reports Peter Holland, Programme Manager for the Continuing Professional Development courses at Oxford

Engineers and technicians must be trained
Leading UK engineering and technology firms, with a combined multi-million pound spend on training and development, will assemble at the IEE 'Investing in Technical Teams' forum on 4 November 2004.
"Nowhere else can you find as comprehensive a series of coursework concerning high-speed digital phenomena.
If your project involves high-speed digital components, don't miss this series".
New to the programme this year is "High-speed signal propagation", an advanced-level course for experienced digital designers who want to press their designs to the upper limits of speed and distance.

DSP seminars focus on video applications
Abacus Polar is hosting two DSP seminars with Texas Instruments.
This course is based on the new book of the same title from Dr Howard Johnson, author of the highly acclaimed standard reference text "High-speed digital design: a handbook of black magic".
The "High-speed signal propagation" course focuses on long transmission environments like backplanes and cables, teaching a unified theory of transmission impairments that apply to any transmission media.
Topics include lossy media, single-ended and differential signalling, frequency-domain modelling and clock jitter.
This new course is expressly designed for people working on serial links at speeds in excess of 1GHz.
Dr Johnson will appear at Oxford on 21st-22nd May 2003 to personally teach "High-speed signal propagation".
He has requested that the attendance at the first run of this course be held to less than half his usual class size.
That will provide an unparalleled learning experience for delegates fortunate enough to attend.
Also new this year is "Printed circuit board design for real-world EMI control", by Dr Bruce Archambeault, author of the new book by the same name.
Dr Archambeault brings to the classroom his considerable practical experience as an long-term EMC veteran at IBM, plus a deep theoretical knowledge of electromagnetism.
His no-nonsense approach to understanding and dealing with EMC problems in a digital design is a delight to all those fortunate enough to spend time listening to him.
These two new courses at Oxford run in addition to the standard slate of "High-speed digital design" (Dr Howard Johnson), "High frequency measurements in signal integrity, design and troubleshooting" (Douglas Smith), and "Signal integrity: right by design" (Dr Ed Sayre).
Peter Holland emphasises, "These are not your typical university lectures.
The classroom experience in these short courses is a form of total immersion in practical knowledge, which is backed up by years of meticulous research and delivered in impeccable style by the very engineers who helped build the telecommunications, networking and computing infrastructure that powers the world today".
