I would love to able to attend, but I'm afraid my budget will not allow it this year. When will the DCC Proceedings be available for purchase after the conference?<br><br>73, Bill, wf4r<br><br><br>Aug 30, 2010 10:06:58 AM, n7hpr@tapr.org wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 3px solid rgb(102, 153, 204);">***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****<br><br>The September 1st deadline to register for the DCC and get the best room<br>rates is fast approaching.<br><br>The DCC activities planning are in the final stages:<br><br>- The DCC Proceedings is over 200 pages!

Some experience<br>in programming may be helpful. The only math you¹ll need is addition,<br>subtraction, multiplication and division and some idea of what a sine wave<br>is.<br><br>Goals: The goal of the workshop is to encourage those peripherally<br>interested in DSP to take the next step to learn what DSP can do and try<br>some DSP design and coding. Each attendee will get a handout CD which will<br>include all slides with links to useful references. The CD will also<br>include some basic Windows VB.NET examples of operational code along with<br>some useful DSP tools (demo versions).<br><br>Sessions: Four sessions 45 min each with 15 minute breaks.<br><br>1) DSP Intro and Basics: what we are trying to do with DSP. Why is it<br>better/different than analog. The cornerstone of DSP .the Fourier<br>Transform and the FFT.<br><br>2) DSP Tools: What you need to see, interpret and understand signals.<br>Basic waveform processing utilities. How do you setup a sound card to<br>capture and play back audio with examples. How to design basic DSP Filters<br>using common tools.<br><br>3) DSP Techniques: How do we use DSP to do those things needed in a radio.<br>Mixing, Filtering, Modulation, Demodulation, FSK, PSK, Tone Detection, AGC<br>etc<br><br>4) DSP Tricks: Tricks of the trade to make the impractical possible.<br>Common and useful tricks to make significant reductions in computer demands,<br>Single tone detectors, decimation, windowing, CIC Filters, IQ sampling.<br><br>No seminar or workshop can cover this topic completely in a few hours but<br>this workshop should remove some of the mystery of DSP and motivate those to<br>learn what can be done and get more involved.<br><br>Bio: Rick is a retired entrepreneur electrical engineer and has been a ham<br>since 1962. After volunteering for the Winlink Development effort in 1998<br>he focused his efforts on programming and DSP. Rick was responsible for<br>the SCAMP, WINMOR and V4 sound card protocols described in the DCC 2004,<br>2008 and 2010 proceedings along with several of the software components of<br>the Winlink 2000 system.<br><br>--------------------------------------------------------------------<br><br>Proceedings of 29th Annual ARRL/TAPR Digital Communications Conference<br><br>Mobile Fading; Sachin Dubey and Kanchan Cecil<br><br><br>RF to Video Converter for Timex/Sinclair Computers; John M.
