Course Kick-off / Orientation 6:00PM – 6:30PM EDT; Thursday, February 20, 2025 First Video Release, Thursday, February 20, 2025. Additional videos released weekly in advance of that week’s live session! Live Workshops: 6:00PM – 7:30PM EDT; Thursdays, February 27, March 6, 13, 20, 27 Registration Fees: IEEE Member Early Rate (by February 6): $190.00 IEEE Member Rate (after February 6): $285.00 IEEE Non-Member Early Rate (by February 6): $210.00 IEEE Non-Member Rate (after February 6): $315.00 Decision to run/cancel course: February 13, 2025 Registration is open through the last live workshop date. Live workshops are recorded for later use. Course Information will be distributed on Thursday, February 20 in advance of and in preparation for the first live workshop session. A live orientation session will be held on Thursday, February 20. Attendees will have access to the recorded session and exercises for two months (until May 27, 2025) after the last live session ends! This is a hands-on course combining pre-recorded lectures with live Q&A and workshop sessions in the popular and powerful open-source Python programming language. Pre-Recorded Videos: The course format includes pre-recorded video lectures that students can watch on their own schedule, and an unlimited number of times, prior to live Q&A workshop sessions on Zoom with the instructor. The videos will also be available to the students for viewing for up to two months after the conclusion of the course. Course Summary This course builds on the IEEE course “DSP for Wireless Communications” also taught by Dan Boschen, further detailing digital signal processing most applicable to practical real-world problems and applications in radio communication systems. Students need not have taken the prior course if they are familiar with fundamental DSP concepts such as the Laplace and Z transform and basic digital filter design principles. This course brings together core DSP concepts to address signal processing challenges encountered in radios and modems for modern wireless communications. Specific areas covered include carrier and timing recovery, equalization, automatic gain control, and considerations to mitigate the effects of RF and channel distortions such as multipath, phase noise and amplitude/phase offsets. Dan builds an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics through the use of graphics, visual demonstrations, and real-world applications for mixed signal (analog/digital) modern transceivers. This course is applicable to DSP algorithm development with a focus on meeting practical hardware development challenges, rather than a tutorial on implementations with DSP processors. Now with Jupyter Notebooks!

Presenter: Vishal Rastogi Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agents and agentic architectures represent a paradigm shift in autonomous systems. These intelligent entities dynamically perceive, reason, and act to achieve goals, leveraging advanced machine learning and natural language processing. AI agentic architecture enhances collaboration between agents, enabling seamless orchestration of complex tasks across distributed systems. By integrating reinforcement learning, multi-agent environments, and self-evolving capabilities, this approach solves intricate challenges in real-time. Whether optimizing business workflows, enhancing customer experiences, or enabling breakthroughs in robotics, AI agents redefine efficiency and innovation.
