  • Cultural tour: visit of the Marc Chagall exhibition and stroll in the historical center of Landerneau
  • National Instruments training: Rapid Prototyping of Real-Time Wireless Systems with LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite and NI USRP RIO (details below).

National Instrument course

Rapid Prototyping of Real-Time Wireless Systems with LabVIEW Communications System Design Suite and NI USRP RIO

With this hands-on seminar, NI seeks to educate industry professionals and researchers on prototyping a wireless communication system by explaining and working through a common design flow. You physically set up and plug in an NI USRP™ (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) reconfigurable I/O (RIO) software defined radio, write programs in LabVIEW Communications, and move the algorithms to a high-throughput FPGA. The exercises are examples of how to model, simulate, and prototype signal processing algorithms for applications involving wireless signals.

Take this course if you

  • Are researching wireless communications
  • Need to quickly and easily prototype and validate algorithms
  • Want to evaluate the usefulness of the software defined radio in your application
  • Need exposure to setting up software defined radio

The course should take approximately three hours, but this time can vary depending on your background.

Conference Banquet

The conference banquet will take place, on Thursday evening, at Trebodennic Castle, 16th century, in Ploudaniel village, located 27 km from Brest. This will be the occasion to attend to the Impro Infini improvisation show.
