Communications Prototyping with MITRE

Location: Zoom (link to be sent to registrants later)

Join MITRE for a virtual tech talk starting at 6:30PM on Tuesday, March 9 th. MITRE engineers will deliver presentations on acoustic communication systems for underwater data transfer and on a GPU platform for signals analysis as part of our active research programs. Each of these presentations will highlight the ways that software defined radios are paired with general purpose and heterogeneous processing environments to rapidly prototype tailored digital signals processing capabilities. Following the two presentations, there will be optional breakout rooms where the speakers will be available for questions and networking. These presentations will be given by Dr. Tamara Sobers, Wayne McLaggan, and Jeremy Martin.
