Biographies:
 

Scott Teigen is the National Instruments business development manager for radio frequency (RF) and communications in California and specializes in RF consumer electronics, military applications, RF record and playback, MIMO and RF direction finding, and energy applications such as wireless smart meters. Scott guides engineers and scientists in defining and deploying their test and prototyping architectures. He works in tandem with NI sales engineers to help customers in the mil/aero, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and aerospace industries decrease test time, increase throughput, and decrease test cost. Scott has served in various roles at the National Instruments corporate office, its branch office in Shanghai, and most recently, its office in California. Scott has a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Utah.


Abstracts:

During this presentation, National Instruments RF and communications business development manager will discuss the latest trends in the wireless market and the tools used today to design, develop, and test emerging RF and wireless communications products. He will cover strategies in software-defined development for minimizing cost and increasing speed and flexibility. Furthermore, attendees will see how virtual instrumentation (synthetic instrumentation) uses a modular approach to speed test development time in characterization, validation, and verification of wireless transceivers. Finally, Scott will discuss real-world applications of these techniques from Microsoft, Harris Communications, and FedEx, who are leveraging virtual instrumentation to improve throughput and reduce costs.
