Wizards of Electromagnetism

My spoof video clip entered in this year’s DesignCon 2010 Video Contest is entitled Another Day In The Life Of an Agilent EEsof EDA Chiphead:

Every engineer wants an EDA tool that’s easy to use. But can things go too far? Find out in this (hopefully) hilarous 2010 sequel to my DesignCon Video Contest 2009 entry.

Please login to YouTube and give it a 5-star rating if you enjoy it!

On a slightly more serious note, here’s a brief video invitation by Eric Bogatin and his cat Maxwell to come to our Education Forum entitled “Practical Magic: Signal Integrity Problems Disappear with the Right Tools” that Eric (but sadly not Maxwell) will present at DesignCon 2010.

How to get tickets to see Eric? How about a DesignCon Exhibits PLUS registration ($100 value) free courtesy of Agilent Technologies? Copy our courtesy promotion code EXHAGI, surf over to http://www.designcon.com/2010/register/index.asp and paste EXHAGI into the promotion code box.

Exhibits PLUS badge gives you access to:

• Agilent Education Forum hosted by Dr. Eric Bogatin: Practical Magic: Signal Integrity Problems Disappear Using the Right Tools
• Keynote Addresses, Technical Panels, and Business Forum sessions
• Technology exhibition, including TecPreview presentations and exhibit floor receptions

Update 11/18/2009:We have Agilent co-authors contributing to six papers in the technical program. To see these you need a full program pass. You can get a discount off such passes at the same web page and using the EXHAGI promotion code.

• Introduction and Comparison of an Alternate Methodology for Measuring Loss Tangent of PCB Laminates
• Frequency Dependent Material Properties, So What?
• Rigorous Modeling of Transmit Jitter for Accurate and Efficient Statistical Eye Simulation
• Accuracy Improvements of PDN Impedance Measurements in the Low to Middle Frequency Range
• Evaluation of Relative Humidity and Temperature Effects of Scattering Parameters on Transmission Systems (0-26 GHz)
• Practical Study of Appropriate Measurement Bandwidth and Noise, Along with its Impact on Oscilloscope based Time and Frequency Measurements

Agilent is proud to be the official host sponsor of DesignCon.
