WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Wireless Innovation Forum (www.WirelessInnovation.org) today announced an exceptional program for its 2011 Wireless Innovation Forum Conference on Communications Technologies and Software Defined Radio (SDR'11 - WInnComm). The premier event for the reconfigurable radio community, SDR’11-WInnComm will be held 29 November to 2 December in Washington, D.C. Each day of this conference will feature workshops, tutorials and technical presentations. The event also touts an exposition and a technology showcase.
Attracting more than 400 registered delegates, including investors, commercial network operators, radio manufacturers, system integrators, government procurement officials, regulators, engineering service providers and consultants from over 22 different countries, SDR’11-WInnComm is the only event devoted to the advancement of reconfigurable radio technologies from research through deployment. Additional information on the SDR’11-WInnComm program, workshops and tutorials can be found at http://conference.WirelessInnvation.org.
Technical papers, featured in 20 sessions over all five days of the event, focus on topics from research and development through design, manufacture and deployment. Extended versions of top papers in the Research and Development track will be eligible for placement in the Springer Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing (AICSP). A complete listing of the papers, including abstracts, is available here: http://conference.wirelessinnovation.org/page/SDR11_papers.
