Hello Neel, Sounds great!
Do you have such workshop plans in Europe, probably in France/Germany. Recently I attended the NI workshop on the same during ICC 2017 Paris, but due to some reasons the agenda was not covered during the workshop. And it was very short also. I am very much interested in attending such detailed workshop. I request you to plan :) Regards Sumit On Wed, Nov 29, 2017 at 6:58 PM, Neel Pandeya <neel.pand...@ettus.com> wrote: > ====================================================================== > Ettus Research will be running a series of free, hands-on, > technical workshops in the Los Angeles area. > > USRP, UHD, GNU Radio Workshop > Tuesday December 12, from 09:00 to 17:00 > El Segundo, California, USA > > RFNoC Workshop > Wednesday December 13, from 09:00 to 16:00 > El Segundo, California, USA > > USRP, UHD, GNU Radio Workshop > Thursday December 14, from 09:00 to 17:00 > Santa Ana, California, USA > > RFNoC Workshop > Friday December 15, from 09:00 to 16:00 > Santa Ana, California, USA > > ====================================================================== > Descriptions of the Workshops: > > Title: > Introduction to the USRP, UHD, and GNU Radio (Open-Source Toolchain) > > Abstract: > This workshop will provide a thorough and practical introduction to > the USRP hardware and the open-source software toolchain (UHD and > GNU Radio).
