Two of Dielectric’s up-and-coming broadcast engineering experts have been tapped for presentations this fall at key industry tradeshows. Electrical Engineers Nicole Starrett and Dan Glavin will address audiences at the 2019 IEEE Broadcast Symposium, with presentations that educate and problem-solve on two of today’s more substantial RF challenges: software-based antenna design (Starrett) and next-generation RF monitoring (Glavin). Glavin will present on the same RF monitoring topic at the2019 WBA Broadcasters Clinic later in October.

Starrett will present Antenna Simulation: Tackling Repack and Beyond at the IEEE event at 4:30pm on Thursday, October 3. The closing session of the conference, Starrett will discuss how transitioning from physical to software-based design processes prepared suppliers and broadcasters alike for the busy spectrum repack period – and how these now-established design models can be carried into the next generations of antenna and RF design.

Glavin will present Real-Time Monitoring of RF Systems Performance at 12:15pm on Wednesday, October 2 at the IEEE event, and again on Thursday, October 17 at the WBA event. Glavin will discuss how innovative radar techniques facilitate real-time monitoring and VSWR measurement of transmission line systems for RF and IT engineers alike. This IP-connected systems approach empowers users to identify fault locations and other performance issues without expensive and time-consuming antenna sweeps. Dielectric introduced its RFHAWKEYE solution for next-generation, IP-connected RF monitoring at the 2019 NAB Show in April.

The 2019 IEEE Broadcast Symposium takes place October 1-3 at the Hartford Marriot Downtown (Hartford, CT), and the 2019 WBA Broadcasters Clinic happens October 15-17 at the Madison Marriott West (Madison, WI).
