In 1985 Xilinx introduced the F irst commercial FPGA with only 64 logic blocks while today you can find FP GAs with more than 300\,000 logic blocks.\n\nIn over 30 years\, FPGAs have found their way into any real-time signal and data processing in Telecomm unications\, Satellites & Space exploration\, Defense (Radar\, GPS\, Missi les)\, Medical X-ray & MRI machines\, artificial intelligence and many oth er industries.\n\nFPGAs can be programmed and configured many times to pro vide the desired application or functionality requirements after manufactu ring. The resources of the FPGA can be used to build almost any digital ci rcuit.\n\nIn this webinar\, after introducing FPGA\, we will discuss its a pplications with some examples from telecommunications industries.\n\nSpea ker(s): Marzie Tabatabaefar\, \n\nMontreal\, Quebec\, Canada\, Virtual: ht tps://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/235653 LOCATION:Montreal\, Quebec\, Canada\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.o rg/m/235653 ORGANIZER:mansoor.dashti@emt.inrs.ca SEQUENCE:18 SUMMARY:Introduction to FPGA\, and its Applications in Telecommunications URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/235653 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Description:</stro ng></p>\n<p align="justify"><strong>Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)< /strong> are semiconductor devices based around a matrix of configurable l ogic blocks (CLBs) connected via programmable interconnects.
