Over the last 30 years, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) design applications have increased exponentially. They have moved from just digital designs to other areas such as embedded controllers, Digital Signal Processing, communication, and configurable computing. The Xilinx Zynq FPGAs are a perfect example of how far FPGA came. They provide plenty of FPGA fabric, embedded ARM, high speed ADC and DACs as well specialized hard core for channel coding. These FPGA can act as a full Linux machine providing a powerful development framework to enables advanced development of advanced communication, RADAR and machine learning solutions. This has made exposure and mastering of FPGA very important to many people in the industry and academia.Speaker(s): prof.

The speaker presented a talk in 2006 at Penn State that was the 150 anniversary of the birth of Nikola Tesla, the inventor of many things that we still use today. That talk presented the history and life of Tesla who is one of the most interesting scientists and persons of all time. Many of Tesla’s most important inventions and patents will be discussed and how they changed the world as we know it now. Guglielmo Marconi is usually credited with inventing the radio, but it was shown after a long fight in 1943 that Tesla was indeed the first, and his much earlier patent proved it.Unfortunately, Tesla’s death occurred about 6 months before the patent office corrected the history. In the talk at Penn State, many demos were performed and recorded on video. Some of these videos of the demos will be shown in various Tesla Coils including some playing music.Co-sponsored by: IEEE North Jersey Section ED/CAS, AP/MTT17, AES, and VT ChapterSpeaker(s): Prof. James K.
