High-speed digital engineering week in Oxford

The Oxford University "High-speed digital engineering week" is a five-day series of short courses, panel discussions and consultation sessions especially developed for digital hardware engineers.

The Oxford University CPD 2004 "High-speed digital engineering week" (from 21st to 25th June) is a five-day series of short courses, panel discussions and consultation sessions especially developed for digital hardware engineers throughout Europe.

Led by Dr Howard Johnson, author of the definitive book "High-speed digital design, a handbook of black magic", this unique event in the global world of electronics will provide those attending with an opportunity to meet and interact with the world's foremost authorities on high-speed digital engineering.

During this week, Oxford University will host six courses delivered by leading specialists from the cutting edge field of high-speed digital electronics, each of whom was selected for his experience, world-class stature, and ability to communicate clearly and effectively.

The courses span the subjects of signal and power integrity, high-speed serial links, measurement technique, simulation, and EMC.

The six scheduled courses run for two days each, three on Monday and Tuesday, three more on Thursday and Friday, plus a general panel discussion and design "clinic" on Wednesday which is open to all delegates.

Wednesday's activities will also include group consultation sessions, during which delegates can pose their questions to any of the course authors.

The courses comprise: "Advanced high-speed signal propagation and high-speed digital design", by Dr Howard Johnson, author of "High-Speed digital design: a handbook of black magic" and "High-speed signal propagation"; "Printed circuit board design for real-world EMI control", by Dr Bruce Archambeault of IBM, author of "High frequency measurements and noise in electronic circuits"; "High speed design, partitioning, integration, architecture and EMC", by W Michael King, author of "EMCT: electromagnetic compatibility tutorial"; "High frequency measurements in signal integrity, design, and troubleshooting", by Douglas Smith, author of "High frequency measurements and noise in electronic circuits"; and "Signal integrity 'right by design'", by Dr Edward Sayre, CEO, North East Systems Associates.
