Introduction
In the past decade, DSP algorithms
and architectures for baseband communication systems have brought applications
such as 3G mobile communications and wireless LAN to mass markets. Since then,
further progress in DAC and ADC technology has permitted DSP to be applied at IF
sampling rates up to several 100 MHz, which has opened up a large range of
advanced DSP algorithms to be deployed for – potentially reconfigurable (or
software enabled radio) – communications system functions such as
modulation, synchronisation, equalisation, coding, and many more. This
development is expected to continue, and opportunities such as cognitive radios
for improved spectrum efficiency and reliable and ubiquitous communication are
likely to become reality within the next couple of years. This second
colloquium will comprise of invited keynote speakers, oral presentations, poster
sessions, and a small industrial exhibition for companies demonstrating the
latest hardware and software for DSP enabled radio.

not limited to:
