Hi-Fi over Wi-Fi: A Wireless Music System
Our September Presentation:
A music lover who listens to HiFi music will in general not tolerate any glitches, pops or mutes in the music. When HiFi music is transmitted over wireless there will be challenges as a wireless link is inherently not as robust as a wired link. This talk will highlight some problems associated with this application and remedies to make a wireless HiFi music system work properly.
Our Speaker:
Niels van Erven started his career as an antenna engineer writing software to calculate magnetic antenna patterns for Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) equipment. He continued his career at Ericsson, designing the TX section of a 1.9 GHz Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) RF integrated circuit, worked on a digital modem for DECT and designed a DECT-Frequency Hopping radio for the US market. Successively he worked at 3Com for 10 years as a Director in WiFi Radio Engineering. For the last 3 ½ years he has worked for Sonos as a Director in Radio Engineering and Compliance.
This meeting is sponsored in part by Santa Barbara News-Press
