ADI to host three upcoming webinars on popular RF
topics such as a two-part series on Frequency Synthesis as
well as Integrated RF ICs
Norwood, MA (03/01/2012) - Analog
Devices, Inc. (ADI), a world leader in semiconductors for
high-performance signal processing applications and RF ICs,
will conduct three upcoming webcasts on popular RF topics.
A two part series, "Fundamentals of Frequency
Synthesis Using PLLs and DDS" will air on March 7 and
April 12, 2012 at 12 pm EST and attendees must register for
each session individually. Sponsored by Richardson RFPD,
"Using Highly Integrated RF ICs to Optimize Your
Infrastructure and Point to Point Radio Designs" will
be presented on March 28, 2012 at 11 am. This webinar will
feature modulators, demodulators, data converters and PLLs.
More About Introduction to Frequency Synthesis, Part One:
Phase Locked Loop
Introduction to Frequency Synthesis kicks off with an
introduction to Phased Locked Loops and the need for
frequency generation, techniques from the past present and
future, how to assess the performance of a frequency
synthesis, as well as real world applications. Particular
attention will be focused on Phase Locked Loops (PLL's)
as frequency synthesizers.
The Presenter
Ian Collins is a staff applications engineer in Analog
devices with over ten years experience working with
Microwave and RF frequency synthesis. Ian graduated from
the National University of Ireland with a degree in
Electrical Engineering & Microelectronics in 2000.
More About Introduction to Frequency Synthesis, Part Two:
Direct Digital Synthesis
This webcast will provide a basic review of how a direct
digital synthesis system works, touching on the inner
workings of the DDS engine at a relatively high level. In
addition, it will also discuss the tradeoffs between PLL
and DDS technology as a base choice for frequency synthesis
needs.
The Presenter
Jeff Keip is the senior marketing manager in charge of the
high speed DDS portfolio at Analog Devices. He has been
responsible for product definition and roadmap planning for
the high speed DDS products at Analog Devices for over 9
years. He holds a BSEE from the University of California at
Davis, and is the primary inventor of the programmable
modulus function for DDS.

RF Integration Solutions that Maintain Performance and
Flexibility - RF ICs with higher levels of integration save
on space and offer higher performance and more flexibility
than dedicated chipsets. This webinar will present the
current state of the art and will focus on the challenges
that non-handset-based wireless equipment designers face as
they strive for more functionality in smaller spaces,
sometimes with the added headache of having to implement
broadband transceivers that can be reused at multiple
frequencies. Specific topics to be covered will include
integration of high performance VCOs into PLLs, integrating
horizontally vs. vertically and external vs. internal
matching.
The Presenter
Eamon Nash is an Applications Engineering Manager in Analog
Devices' RF Products Group. He has worked at Analog
Devices for 22 years, first as a Field Applications
Engineer, covering mixed signal products, then as an
Applications Engineer specializing in discrete RF
components for wireless applications. He holds a Bachelor
of Engineering degree (B.Eng) in Electronics from
University of Limerick, Ireland.
RF IC Portfolio Covers Entire RF Signal Chain
Using a unique combination of design skills, systems
understanding and process technologies, Analog Devices RF
ICs and world-leading data converters cover the entire RF
