Overview
The rapid expansion of wireless communication technologies from 5G/6G networks to advanced IoT and edge‑processing systems, demands engineers who can translate communication algorithms into efficient real‑time hardware. FPGAs, combined with the high‑level design capabilities of MATLAB and Simulink, offer a powerful platform for developing, testing, and deploying wireless systems with exceptional flexibility and performance.
MathWorks and SAC ISRO would like to invite Faculty members for a 3‑day in-person Faculty Development Program (FDP) that provides participants with an end‑to‑end workflow for wireless system design using MATLAB and Simulink, and FPGA implementation tools. Through technical sessions, hands‑on labs, and expert talks, attendees will explore wireless algorithms, hardware‑centric modelling, HDL code generation, and real‑time verification using industry‑standard design practices.
Registration is Free. However, seats are limited, participants who register are required to attend all 3-days. We encourage you to make the most of this opportunity.
So why wait? Register now and secure your spot!
