Meeting Recap: Class D Amplifiers
Sunday, March 15th, 0000Company: SDSU
Topic: Class D Amplifiers
Speakers: Professor Fred Harris
When: Tuesday March 10, 2009
Abstract: Professor Harris was kind enough to give a presentation on class D amplifiers. These amplifiers are sometimes called switching amplifiers and are typically characterized by their use of a pulse width modulator, the more advanced designs however utilize a delta-sigma modulation scheme along with internal filtering to achieve an almost full wave amplification.

Meeting Recap: Motorola
Tuesday, February 17th, 0000Company: Motorola
Topic: Multimedia convergence trends in 3G & 4G Wireless Technologies
Speakers: Poornima Lalwaney (poornima DOT lalwaney AT motorola DOT com), Babak Bafandeh (babak AT motorola DOT com)
When: Tuesday February 16, 2009
Abstract: Once again we’d like to thank Poornima for coming out and speaking about the future of wireless technology, specifically 4G networks and the types of service we can expect to see in the next 5 or so years. 3GPP’s LTE (Long Term Evolution) and WiMax (IEEE 802.16e) are both IP based, doing away with old circuit switched architectures, and boast speeds upwards of 100MB/s; so expect great features like Video On Demand and video conferencing via Voice Over IP coming soon to a mobile phone near you.
