I was part of the community who convinced the industry that DSP was here and analog was out. After decades of success using digital signal processing theory and devices to create new capabilities, it seems to be time to begin a move back to analog. This
talk will cover the reasons this movement is happening from a market viewpoint and a technical viewpoint. After these two topics are covered, time will be spent talking about how analog signal processing and digital signal processing will not only co-exist
but be complimentary to each other in creating the next set of capabilities.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
