    18 == Workshop Description ==
    19 
    20 The Rice University WARP Workshop introduces attendees to the Rice WARP  development platform, including the hardware and software tools used to develop and  implement designs in WARP. Attendees will learn the complete WARP design flow, from  specification of initial design parameters through implementation of designs on WARP  hardware.
    21 
    22  == Registration Details ==
    23 
    24 Registration is now closed. Please watch the WARP site for news of future workshops.
    25 
    26 == Tentative Course Outline ==
    27 
    28 '''DAY 1''' - 9am-5pm
    29 
    30  * '''Overview''': WARP Hardware and Design Environment  Attendees will learn about the hardware-level capabilities of WARP and the system-level  design flow. A brief presentation will be followed by a lab exercise where attendees will  use the design tools to implement a simple hardware co-processor on the FPGA.
    31 
    32  * '''WARPLab''':  A new design tool to interface matlab with WARP to enable off-line processing of received signals   transmitted over real wireless channels.
    33 
    34  * '''PHY Implementation''':  Classical physical layer algorithms such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) will be presented in the context of physical layer design for WARP. Following the  presentation, attendees will use the design tools learned in the previous exercise to   generate base-band waveforms on the FPGA and upconvert them to RF using the WARP  radio boards.
