Talk:DigRF

Hi there Chancheelam - good to see an article on this rather opaque topic. A few things that will make it more in line with Wikipedia goals...

Vendor Neutrality

This article is very Agilent-centric. A few specific issues

I now realise the Microwave Engineering article (http://www.mwee.com/, Jan/Feb) which seems to be the sole source for the original version of this page was written by Agilent.--Fontles 10:03, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Parts read like an advert

For example Agilent Technologies is leveraging technical competencies in RF test and in digital test to provide cross domain solutions to RF-IC designers... and lists of products from just one vendor. Can anyone add other vendor stuff, or better than that reword to make it neurtal?

Links to Marketing Material

Two of three links were Agilent promos. I've added a bit of text so people know what sort of source they will be reading, plus a link to www.digrf.com

Other DigRF participants

The DigRF spec lists many vendor participants beyond agilent. I might do some editing on this just to make it look a bit less advert-y.

Copyright

The diagrams are certainly useful - but are these definitely GFDL? They look like they're scanned from a magazine. Does anyone have copyright information from the source article? Alternatively could they be drawn anew?--Fontles 11:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

The images seem to be copyvios. The uploader identified the source as Microwave Engineering (Europe) magazine. This is correct - they appear on pages 12 and 13 of the Jan/Feb issue. Microwave Engineering's copyright statement is reproduced below:

The article can be found on http://www.mwee.com/. Techupdate - your first contribution has been to reinstate these scanned diagrams. Do you know something I don't?--Fontles 09:59, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Introduction

It's not completely clear what it's actually about. I think it's an interface spec between baseband processing and radio components in a mobile phone - but maybe someone who's read (or even used?) the spec could confirm that.--Fontles 13:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

OK so just revert my edits without discussion then(!) Seems like the original author has something of a history of link-spam.
I've made some changes to try to make this page usefully encyclopaedic:

• removed blatant Agilent product advertising
• removed diagrams that were both advertising and of questionable copyright status
• s/2G and 3GPP/3GPP/ since GSM standards are maintained by 3GPP

Perhaps we can make a useful article here!
