Events for February 2025
WHEN: April 15 (Tutorials) April 16-17 (Technical Program)
WHERE: Las Vegas, NV
THEME: Test Instrumentation in a Spectrum Constrained Environment
OVERVIEW
The National Broadband Act has initiated the auction of portions of the RF Spectrum formerly reserved for use by Federal agencies to repurpose the spectrum for commercial use. Much of the Test Instrumentation used by the T&E community is reliant on the RF spectrum, and these auctions require the Test Instrumentation community to adapt to loss of access to RF frequency bands to maintain current capabilities. This workshop will support the sharing of ideas and approaches to continuing to provide the necessary Test Instrumentation in this Spectrum Constrained environment.
CALL FOR PAPERS/ABSTRACTS for TRACKS/POSTERS/and TUTORIALS
Technical tracks, tutorials and poster sessions will be unclassified and open to the general community. Abstracts must be strictly non-commercial in scope, pertinent to a technical topic, and no longer than 500 words. Best Paper and Student Best Paper awards will be presented for presenters having full papers. Submit Your Abstract
