Who should Attend This Workshop 

This 3G CDMA workshop is designed for chip designers, network engineers, RF planners, engineering managers and others who want to learn how 3G (cdma2000 & W-CDMA) System works and how best to implement the technology. This is the place to get all of your questions answered on the latest advancements in 3G & CDMA.

We will cover cdma2000 & W-CDMA in a step-by-step fashion. The emphasis will be on system engineering, migration, optimization and system implementation. We will also discuss the relationships among IS-95 2G cdmaOne, cdma2000 & W-CDMA systems.

With more than 550 pages of handout note, this is one of the most extensive 3G Workshops.
