Power Integrity - Best Design Practices Hisham Abed, P.Eng.
Ericsson
Abstract
The presentation will cover basics of PDN design and the three most common problems. Root cause analysis of problems and solutions to mitigate them will be presented. A demonstration using Ansys SI wave will be included if time permits.

Power Integrity Optimization amidst MLCC Shortage Dr. Ihsan Erdin
Celestica
Abstract
How does one determine the minimum number of decoupling capacitors required? First, we are facing a shortage of MLCCs today. Secondly there is a widespread deployment of handheld devices. Saving a few components can address both challenges. A new optimization process will be presented to address this problem.

Abstract
Precise and reliable positioning recently became a critical property of autonomous vehicles like drones, driverless cars and more. Tallysman Wireless will explain why the GNSS antenna is the most important component for accurate positioning and will present the challenges of selecting the appropriate GNSS antenna for diverse types of autonomous vehicles. Multiple properties of a GNSS antenna like its phase center variation, ability to reject interferences or multipath and sensibility to its environment will be analysed and guide lines will be proposed.
