Welcome to the 15th European Microwave Week 

I am pleased to welcome you to the 15th European Microwave 

Week which will be held at the Amsterdam RAI Convention Centre 

from Sunday 28th of October to Friday 2nd of November 2012. 

The premier microwave event in Europe gathers the international 

microwave community around three conferences: 

• The 42nd European Microwave Conference (EuMC) 

• The 7th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference 

(EuMIC) 

• The 9th European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 

A selection of workshops and short courses presented by 

internationally recognized lecturers will be offered in addition to 

the conferences. Of course, all delegates are invited to visit the 

European Microwave Exhibition, the largest microwave and RF 

trade show in Europe, bringing more than 250 exhibitors from all 

parts of the world together in one place. 

European Microwave Week appeals to Engineers and Scientists 

from both, industry and academia, working in any area related 

to the growing field of microwave applications. It is a platform of 

exchange across technology domains and offers the opportunity 

for students to meet eminent experts in a very broad range of 

subjects, from semiconductors and nanotechnology through to 

wireless and radar systems. 

With more than 800 papers submitted from around 50 countries 

we can promise exciting presentations both in oral and poster 

sessions. The opening and closing plenary sessions of each of the 

three conferences will feature key-note speeches by leaders in 

their respective fields. 

In addition there will be focused sessions and a “Doctoral School 

in Microwaves” aimed at early stage PhD students. and students 

will have the opportunity to compete in the "Student Challenge". 

There will be, as before, the “Women in Engineering” event which 

shows growing interest. 

On 31st October, we will have a special event addressing microwave 

technologies and applications for space, defence and security. 

The event will feature industry leaders and will conclude with a 

round-table discussion. It will be held in combination with the 

opening of EuRAD.

WELCOME MESSAGES 

The Traditional Welcome Reception (including banquet) will be held 

in the new Elicium building of the RAI Conference centre. For the 

partners of our delegates we have an exciting partner programme 

lined up, giving the opportunity of visiting interesting places in and 

around Amsterdam. 

The RAI Convention Centre will be the venue of EuMW 2012 - it is 

very easy to reach from Amsterdam Schiphol airport (either by train 

or taxi) and it is very well connected to the centre of Amsterdam 

with its canals, its impressive 17th century houses and famous 

museums. It is also easy to reach from the various hotels we have 

booked for our delegates. 

We are proudly presenting the programme for EuMW 2012 which 

could not have been achieved without the help of the enthusiastic 

support of colleagues from industry, academia and research centres 

inside and outside Europe. Without them we would not have the 

workshops, short courses, focused sessions and the special event. 

On behalf of the local organising committee I would like to express 

my sincere thanks to the Technical Programme Committees of 

the three conferences, along with the more than three hundred 

reviewers who have offered their valuable time to help us maintain 

the high quality of this event. I would also like to thank Dr. Matthias 

Rudolph for providing us with the TPMS paper submission software 

and for his excellent support. 

Finally, it has been a pleasure to work with the Horizon House 

team and especially Michel Zoghob whose experience and skill 

allowed us to obtain the best facilities and the ultimate synergy 

between conference and exhibition. 

We are certain that you will enjoy EuMW 2012 and we are looking 

forward to meeting you in Amsterdam.

Welcome to the 2012 European Microwave Week on behalf of the 

European Microwave Association (EuMA)! EuMA is the organisation 

behind the Week, our mission is to promote microwaves in Europe 

and to foster networking between microwave scientists and 

engineers in Europe. The European Microwave Week is the key 

event serving this purpose. 

For those who do not know EuMA so far: We are open to membership 

for all working in the field of microwaves, particularly from Europe, 

but also from around the world. The General Assembly, the highest 

governing body of the Association, gathers representatives from 

European countries, from North America, from the Asia-Pacific 

region, and from North Africa and Middle East. If you are not a 

EuMA member yet, I encourage you to join. Among other benefits, 

such as reduced fees for attending the EuMW and other EuMAsponsored 

conferences, you will have access to our website which 

provides an archive of publications and the on-line version of the 

International Journal on Microwave and Wireless Technologies as 

well as networking opportunities. 

The European Microwave Week (EuMW) has evolved into the 

premier microwave conference and exhibition event in Europe. The 

centrepiece of the Week is the European Microwave Conference 

(EuMC), the largest of the 3 conferences that form the Week. It 

is complemented by the European Microwave Integrated Circuits 

Conference (EuMIC) focusing on semiconductor device and circuit 

technologies, and the European Radar Conference (EuRAD), 

targeting the field of radar, from components to applications. 

The success of EuMW is also a result of the collaboration with 

the IEEE MTT Society (technical co-sponsor of the Week) and the 

GAAS Association (co-sponsor of EuMIC). But the Week is not only 

conferences, the Exhibition forms an integral part of EuMW, which 

attracts a major part of the visitors and is organized by our longstanding 

partner Horizon House. 

Preparing and hosting the EuMW is a major effort, from the paper 

submission and review to the on-site organization in the conference 

centre, and this is accomplished by a team of volunteers year 

by year. Therefore, my special and sincere thanks go to Bertram 

Arbesser-Rastburg, 2012 General Chair, to Bart Nauwelaers, EuMC 

Chair, to Frank van Vliet, EuMIC Chair, and to Willem Hol, EuRAD 

Chair - just to name a few on behalf the entire team. They all have 

been working hard to set up an outstanding technical and scientific 

program for you and to make your stay in Amsterdam exciting and 

enjoyable. Thank you! 

The theme this year is "Space for Microwaves". This indicates that 

there will be ample space for microwave subjects during the Week, 

which goes without saying. But this will also include "microwaves 

for space". Because of the close links to the European Space 

Agency, with ESA/ESTEC located not far away, an emphasis will be 

put on space applications. 


Welcome from the President 

of the European Microwave Association 

Many of us will remember the last EuMW in Amsterdam 4 years 

ago. Amsterdam is an attractive and lively city, with a rich cultural 

heritage and many touristic opportunities. Beyond this, it offers 

excellent flight connections to the majority of the European 

countries, and the RAI conference centre can be easily reached 

from Schiphol airport. 

The Week is intended to be both a scientific event and a forum 

for microwave researchers and practitioners. We hope you will 

not only get inspiring ideas from presentations and posters but 

also find enough time to meet with colleagues and friends. Meet 

the European microwave community, join us and see you in 

Amsterdam!

Welcome to the 42nd EuMC 

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 42nd European 

Microwave Conference (EuMC), taking place in the Amsterdam 

RAI in the Netherlands. Forty-two is an age at which a person has 

reached a state of maturity: one still has a lot of the strength of a 

youngster, one has acquired the ability to put things in perspective 

and yet a bright future is still waiting. The same is true for the 

EuMC: at the age of forty-two the EuMC is in the prime of its life, 

fully in balance with its past and looking forward to an exciting 

future. As the central event of European Microwave Week it exists 

in perfect harmony with EuMIC and EuRAD, with which it shares 

several sessions. 

The conference presents a fine blend of workshops, short courses 

– both on Sunday and Monday – and regular and focused sessions 

– mainly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The workshops 

cover subjects with roots in tradition, such as filters and power 

amplifiers, but equally well, subjects for the future, such as 

graphene nanoelectronics, biomedical applications and Terahertz 

technologies. A similar picture appears in the regular (oral and 

poster) sessions, where we observe the very broad range of topics 

so typical for the EuMC: passive components, filters, interconnects, 

metamaterials and EBGs, packaging, antennas, phased arrays, 

reconfigurable antennas, power amplifiers, field theory, EMI 

and biological interaction, measurements, active circuits design, 

THz,… spiced with a bit of ‘space applications’. In parallel with the 

conference, the applications and engineering aspects of the field 

are put in the spotlight at the European Microwave Exhibition.

Walter De Raedt 

Vice-chair EuMC 2012 


Both for the opening and closing sessions we invite you to enjoy a 

technical overview talk by a star in the field, in conjunction with a 

provocative reflection on the future of research by an experienced 

research manager with a background in industry, academia and 

public office. To the opening session we welcome Yrjö Neuvo 

(presently at Aalto University and the European Institute for 

Innovation and Technology) and Constantine A. Balanis (Arizona 

State University). The closing session features Ingo Wolff (IMST 

Gmbh) and Jacob Fokkema (Delft University of Technology and the 

Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research). 

In the end let us not forget that the EuMC is a conference, which 

etymologically means ‘to bring together’. This indeed is the true 

mission of a conference: giving the opportunity to people to listen 

to each other, to discuss, to enquire, to exchange ideas, to consult 

and inform. As the organising team we truly hope this is what you 

will do, and greed is a virtue in this context! 

This opportunity for communication is provided to us thanks to all the 

authors that are willing to share their research work with us. We are 

also very grateful to those who have put a lot of effort in reviewing 

and selecting the papers, and to those who devoted a weekend to 

composing the final programme during the TPC. Furthermore we 

thank our EuMIC and EuRAD colleagues for their fine cooperation, 

our general chair for the huge amount of work done, Horizon House 

for the practical smoothness of the organisation and EuMA for the 

endless positive stimulus to the week. 

We are looking forward to welcome you to Amsterdam in 

October.

Welcome to EuMIC 2012 

Welcome to the 2012 EuMIC conference! Welcome to the seventh 

European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference, the world’s 

premier event on microwave and RF integrated circuits. Welcome 

to Amsterdam on the 29th and 30th of October 2012! 

Once a year, the microwave and RF integrated circuit community 

gathers in Europe. We gather to get informed on the worldwide 

results of the previous year’s research and development. We gather 

to learn parts of the trade we have not yet mastered. We gather 

to see our students perform on stage or beside their posters. We 

gather to hear from our peers about what cannot be presented yet 

but will be the highlights of next year. We gather to meet colleagues 

from industry and academia who have over time evolved into good 

friends, with whom we would like to have a good time. Once a 

year, the microwave and RF integrated circuit community gathers 

in Europe, and in 2012 that will be in Amsterdam. 

This conference is strong. EuMIC continues to be organized as a 

part of European Microwave Week, finding stability in the two 

organizing bodies: EuMA, which is behind the organization of 

the whole microwave week and the GAAS ® Association, which 

has supported this conference and its predecessor since 1990, 

when it was first held in Rome. In this tradition, we are, this year, 

celebrating the 20th conference in a row, now hosted for the 

fourth time in Amsterdam (1998, 2004, 2008, 2012). Being part 

of this week brings a co-location with the European Microwave 

Conference and the European Radar Conference. Further, it links 

into a strong exhibition, resulting in the mixed academic and 

industrial character that we so much cherish. 

Be sure to give an extra big smile when you meet Shmuel Auster. 

We are very glad that he will act as the conference’s house 

photographer for the sixteenth GAAS/EuMIC conference in a row. 

Frank van Vliet 

Chair EuMIC 2012 

John Long 

Vice chair EuMIC 2012 


This year’s programme content, I am proud to announce, 

continues the extraordinary strength that so well characterizes our 

conference. Focused sessions on (sub-)mm-wave beam steering 

and GaN technologies for space, workshops on digital RF, power 

amplifier design, advanced devices and much more are examples 

of the extraordinary quality. We are proud to offer 26 5-paper 

sessions which represent today’s state-of-the-art in microwave ICs, 

complemented by 6 workshops and four eminent plenary speakers. 

What more could one wish? 

As for those plenary speakers: they address four key topics: The 

industrial quest for microwave technologies (Hooijmans, NXP), 

emerging possibilities by engineering nanomaterials for microwave 

applications (Blank, Twente University), the frontier of III-V THz 

transistors (Rodwell, UCSB) and their on-wafer measurement 

(Weikle, University of Virginia). We are very proud to have the 

leading edge of industry and academia (with global leaders and 

local roots) on board! 

If you are interested at all in microwave and RF ICs, EuMIC is the 

place to be. It is not exclusively for academics who share their 

latest long-term research results. It is not exclusively for people 

from industry to show their applied R&D, and combine it with a 

visit to the exhibition. It is, above all, the place where industry 

and academia meet. It is the place where academia discovers the 

relevant problems, and where industry picks up the right ideas. 

EuMIC is the place where this all happens in a friendly atmosphere. 

EuMIC provides space for microwaves. Space for microwave IC’s. 

Welcome to the 2012 EuMIC conference and enjoy yourself! Be 

part of this vibrant community. Contribute to that community, and 

it will give you back even more!

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 9th European Radar 

Conference (EuRAD 2012), which is being held from Wednesday, 

October 31st to Friday, November 2nd, 2012 in Amsterdam as part 

of European Microwave Week 2012. With its very strong foothold, 

especially in continental Europe, this Radar Conference is the major 

European forum addressing the present status and future trends 

in the field of radar technology, system design and applications. 

EuRAD is providing the highest quality papers, workshops and 

focused sessions, which has proved to be a very successful formula 

for past conferences. 

The accepted papers are organised in 11 regular EuRAD sessions, 

adding up to 54 podium presentations, 3 focused sessions and 

4 EuRAD/EuMC combined sessions, plus a poster session with 

22 additional papers. The programme covers a very wide and 

interesting range of radar topics like radar architectures, radar 

systems, applications and processing (e.g. MISO/MIMO radar, 

remote sensing, high resolution techniques, automotive radar, 

target classification and microDoppler analysis). The focused 

sessions address the following topics: 

• Advances in automotive radar 

• Advanced multidimensional processing 

• Compressive sensing 

The paper sessions are complemented by expert workshops and 

short courses covering advanced areas of radar: 

• Target Tracking Beyond the Second Century (Short Course) 

• Microwave remote sensing – Observing Earth from Space 

• Recent Developments in Phased Array Radar 

• MOSARIM (MOre Safety for All by Radar Interference 

Mitigation) 

• Noise Radar Systems 

• Cognitive Radar Resources Management

Albert Huizing 

Vice-chair EuRAD 2012 


In the opening and closing sessions three internationally recognized 

experts will give keynote presentations illustrating the very wide 

range of radar applications. Holger H. Meinel (Daimler AG) will 

elaborate on “Automotive Radar – History, state-of-the-art and 

future trends” and CAPT (WE) Rob Hendriks MA (Netherland 

Defense Materiel Organization) will consider “RF Technology 

as an Enabler for Future Above Water Warfare” discussing the 

requirement package for Future Surface Combatants and the 

impact on the radar, sensor and communication fit of these naval 

platforms. During the closing session Rene de Jongh (Thales 

Nederland B.V.) will give an invited speech on “Radar Innovation 

Challenges - From technology breakthroughs to customer added 

value: an industrial viewpoint”. 

The conference will be held from Wednesday (featuring the opening 

session with invited keynote speakers, followed by the EuMW 2012 

Special Event) to Friday. A complementary lunch will be offered to 

all attendees on Friday before the closing session. This lunch will 

give the opportunity for the audience to meet and exchange ideas 

with the worldwide radar experts attending the conference. 

I express all my thanks to the authors for submitting their papers 

and presenting the results and to the reviewers for undertaking 

their task in a professional and timely manner. I would like also 

to warmly thank our invited keynote speakers and the organisers 

of the focused sessions, workshops and short courses. It is their 

combined efforts that make EuRAD 2012 a success. Finally I would 

like to give specific thanks to my colleagues in the EuRAD 2012 

team: Ir. Albert Huizing (Vice Chair), Professor François Le Chevalier 

(TPC Chair) and Dr Oleg Krasnov (Secretary). 

We look forward to meeting you at the EuRAD 2012 conference 

and wish you a very pleasant stay in Amsterdam.

2011 EuMA Outstanding 

Career Award Kaneyuki Kurokawa received a B.S. degree 

in electrical engineering in 1951 and a Ph.D. 

degree in 1958, both from the University of 

Tokyo, Japan. In 1957, he became Assistant 

Professor at the University of Tokyo. 

From 1959 to 1961, he worked on parametric 

amplifiers at Bell Laboratories, Murray Hill, 

USA, on leave of absence from the University 

of Tokyo. In 1963, he joined Bell Laboratories 

Kaneyuki Kurokawa as a Member of Technical Staff and was later 

promoted to a supervisor. At Bell Laboratories, 

he developed microwave balanced transistor amplifiers, millimeter wave 

path-length modulators, the theory of microwave solid-state oscillators, 

and initiated the development of optical fiber transmission systems. 

Classical papers from this period are, e.g., 

K. Kurokawa, "Injection locking of microwave solid state oscillators," 

Proc. of IEEE, Vo1. 61, pp. 1386-1410, 0ct. 1973. 

K. Kurokawa, "Power waves and the scattering matrix," IEEE Trans. 

Microwave Theory Tech., vol. MTT-13, pp. 194-202, Mar. 1965. 

K. Kurokawa, "Some basic characteristics of broadband negative 

resistance oscillator circuits," Bell Syst. Tech. J., vol. 48, pp. 1937-1955, 

July-Aug. 1969. K. Kurokawa, "Noise in synchronized oscillators," IEEE 

Trans. Microwave Theory Tech., vol. MTT-16, pp. 234-240, April 1968. 

Dr. Kurokawa is the author of An Introduction to the Theory of Microwave 

Circuits, Academic Press, New York, 1969. 

In 1975, Dr. Kurokawa left Bell Laboratories to join Fujitsu, Kawasaki, Japan. 

From 1985 to 1989, he was in charge of Fujitsu’s Atsugi Laboratories, 

where HEMT devices and distributed feedback lasers were successfully 

developed. From 1986 to 1989, he also served as a Visiting Professor of 

the University of Tokyo. In addition, he clarified the head crash mechanism 

of hard disk drives. 

Dr. Kurokawa became Vice President of Fujitsu Laboratories in 1992 and 

Fujitsu Fellow in 1994. In 2000, he retired from Fujitsu. 

Since retirement from Fujitsu, Dr. Kurokawa has been working hard to 

rectify the following misconception: A divergence-free vector field is the 

curl of another vector field. This is what the Feynman Lectures on Physics, 

Vol. 2, p. 2-10 and many other textbooks claim. 

Dr. Kurokawa has served several professional societies and committees in 

different capacities, e.g.,: 

IEEE: 1982 – 1984 Member, Fellow Committee 

1979 – 1980 Secretary, Tokyo Section 

1981 – 1982 Chairman, Far East Program Committee of IEEE

EuMA AWARDS 

2011 EuMA Distinguished 

Service Award 

Holger H. Meinel joined the AEG-Telefunken 

Advanced Technology Department in Ulm, 

Germany, in 1973 after graduating with a 

Diploma in Microwave Engineering from the 

Technical University of Aachen, Germany. As a 

young research and development engineer, he 

started to design mm-wave components, e.g., 

for a 35 GHz collision avoidance radar. 

Since then he stayed with same company, 

Holger H. Meinel however, the name changed from AEG- 

Telefunken -> AEG -> Daimler-Benz Aerospace 

-> DaimlerChrysler Aerospace -> Daimler AG. Holger switched his 

location and role of his work nearly every 5 years. And he took also 

several leaves of absence, and worked in the US with MDTT and Fisher- 

Rosemount, and in France with Thomson-CSF. In 2010 Holger returned 

to his roots to work with automotive radar: since May 2010 he has been 

responsible for external contacts of Daimler AG within the EU-Project 

MOSARIM (More Safety for All by Radar Interference Mitigation).

Technologies: EuMW2012 Special Issue 

The International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies was created 

in 2009 by the European Microwave Association (EuMA) and Cambridge 

University Press for the benefit of the Microwave research community in 

Europe and overseas. 

The journal is published six times a year. It allows academic and industrial 

researchers to promote their work and stay connected with the most recent 

developments in Microwave and RF technology. The journal is referenced in 

database such as Scopus and Google Scholar. Following the success of previous 

microwave weeks, the Journal will again publish a special issue dedicated to 

European Microwave Week 2012. 

The authors of a number of highly ranked papers presented at the conference 

will be invited to submit an extended version for publication in the Journal. 

The special issue will be guest edited by Professors François Le Chevalier, Bart 

Nauwelaers and Frank van Vliet. Accepted papers will be published online 

athttp://journals.cambridge.org/MRF within six weeks of acceptance and can 

be referenced using their DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Once all submissions 

are received the articles will be collated into an issue and published in print 

which is expected to appear in June 2013.

GETTING TO THE AMSTERDAM RAI, THE NETHERLANDS 

Amsterdam RAI is situated next to the Ring A10, exit S 109. There 

is a stop for Tram 4 in front of the building and the railway station, 

Amsterdam RAI, is within walking distance. 

By Air 

You can reach Amsterdam RAI from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol 

by car or public transport in less than 15 minutes. Schiphol Airport 

is one of Europe's biggest airports and offers passengers a high 

standard of service. 

By Tram & Bus 

If you arrive at Amsterdam Central Station (CS), you can take the 

Amstelveen express tram 51 (travelling time: 12 minutes, exit at the 

Amsterdam RAI station) or tram 4 (travelling time: 30 minutes, exit 

at the RAI Europaplein). If you are travelling by train to the Amstel 

station, you can take the Amstelveen express tram 51 (travelling 

time: 5 minutes) or the bus 62, which will bring you to the RAI within 

10 minutes. In this case you should get off at RAI Europaplein. From 

Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, the best way to reach the RAI is with 

express tram 50. 

By Train 

NS-station Amsterdam RAI is 300 meters from the RAI and has 

regular connections to all parts of the Netherlands, like Schiphol, 

Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and is also linked to the international 

train network. More information can be found on www.ns.nl 

By Car 

The RAI is ideally suited for visitors who come by car. It is situated 

alongside the Amsterdam's A10 orbital motorway (exit S109) and 

has its own underground car parks. This means that the RAI is easily 

accessible for visitors coming from the Netherlands or abroad. All 

the main motorways can be reached without difficulty from the 

orbital motorway. Numerous signboards indicate repeatedly to the 

RAI. During large exhibitions orange signs displaying 'P RAI' will 

direct you to additional parking places. From there a free shuttle bus

PASSPORT & VISA REQUIREMENTS 

A valid passport will be required for entry into the organising 

country, in this case The Netherlands. Since EuMW events are held 

in the European Union, no visa is usually required for travellers with 

passports from a number of countries, like for instance: European 

Union, United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia or 

Singapore. However you will need to check with your local embassy. If 

you need a visa, we recommend that you speak with the Netherlands 

Consulate, in your own country. You should organise this at least 3 to 

4 months prior to EuMW.

invitation letter through the registration process. Speakers will 

be forwarded this link by the relevant conference chairman and 

Exhibitors may find the link within the Exhibitor Manual. 

PERSONAL INVITATION 

The organisers will be pleased to send a letter of invitation to any 

conference delegate, exhibitor or speaker requesting it. The letter 

of invitation is not a commitment on the part of the conference 

organisers to provide any financial support to delegates and 

the conference fees will not be waived, it may simply be used by 

delegates to help raise funds.

The fifth Student Challenge at EuMW 2012 is to be held in 

Amsterdam. This competition is an opportunity for students from 

all over the world with a variety of academic backgrounds to work 

together on a specific topic in the wide space of microwaves. The 

aim is to promote team work and proactive behavior, skills future 

employers will highly value. 

During the EuMW 2012 Student Challenge, several teams will 

be formed; each team is composed of a maximum of 4 members 

preferably with a variety of backgrounds. The aim of each team is 

to present and explain a fresh, application-oriented concept in a 

poster based on at least 2 papers presented in the EuMW 2012, of 

which only one paper may be authored by a member of the team. 

At the end of the competition, each team will give a 5 minute 

presentation of the innovative concepts they have developed. A 

technical jury, composed of eminent members of university and 

industry, will evaluate the presentation and the poster of each 

team according to criteria such as originality, content, feasibility 

and clarity. The winning team will receive the EuMW 2012 Student 

Challenge Prize with a value of €1500 sponsored by Thales 

Nederland. All participants are invited to an evening event in

EuMC 2012 Special Session on APMC 

When: Wednesday 31st October, 10:40-12:40 

Location: G105 

Chair: Roberto Sorrentino, EuMA 

Co-Chair: Bumman Kim, Pohang University of Science and 

Technology, Korea 

Introduction 

To reflect the impressive pace of development of microwave activities 

in the Asia Pacific region, a collaborative effort was initiated in 2007 by 

the European Microwave Association and the Asia Pacific Microwave 

Conference (APMC) to improve mutual exchanges and collaboration. 

In this framework, a special session devoted to the Asia Pacific region is 

organised on Wednesday at 10:40. Three distinguished invited speakers 

from Taiwan, Korea and Australia will enlighten us on the most advanced 

achievements in their respective fields of activity. 

Compact multi-function antennas designed using filter 

synthesis technique, 

Prof. Shyh-Jong Chung, Department of Electrical Engineering, National 

Chiao Tung University, Taiwan 

Integration of devices is a trend of modern RF front-end design. Over the 

past years, active microwave components were mostly integrated in RFICs. 

The passive components, however, are usually arranged outside the RFIC 

for mitigating the path loss, which makes them occupying a large circuit 

area. To shrink the required area and enhance overall performance, these 

components can be co-designed into an antenna to deliver a so-called 

multi-function antenna, possessing not only the function of radiation 

but also filtering, impedance matching, and/or balanced-to-unbalanced 

transforming. In this talk, the speaker will present the design of such a 

multi-function antenna based on a typical filter synthesis process.

RF CMOS PAs for mobile communications 

Prof. Songcheol Hong, EE Dpt., Korea advanced Institute of Science and 

Technology, Daejeon, Korea 

RF CMOS Power Amplifiers have been studied for a decade and are 

now ready to be appeared in the mobile communication terminals, 

which need multiple PAs for multiple standards. The PAs are going to be 

integrated with switches and control circuits to simplify the front-end 

module. In some relatively low output power applications such as 

WLANs, the PAs are ready to be integrated with transceiver chips. This 

paper presents the circuit level linearization methods of CMOA PAs and 

the current status of the CMOS PAs for WCDMA and LTE as well as 

those of WLANs. 

Properties and radar cross section of forest fire ash 

particles at millimetre wave 

Prof. Kamran Ghorbani, RMIT University, Australia 

The investigation of forest fire ash has been presented for the analysis of 

millimetres wave radar systems performance. The base complex permittivity 

and Radar-Cross Section (RCS) have been measured with respects 

to temperature to identify the organic material behaviour. Physical 

material properties were measured including mass variation, chemical 

composition and moisture absorptions rates. The material properties 

were then analysed for their volumetric backscattering capability using a 

hybrid CST Microwave Studio and MATLAB simulation. Basic millimetre 

wave radar systems performance parameters have been identified for 

fire particle detection. The two spectrum windows at 35 GHz and 94 

GHz have been reviewed in detail for possible systems design.

EuMC 2012 Half-Day Special Session: ‘Microwaves Inside Asia’ 

When: Wednesday 31st October 13:50 –17:40 


Chair: Guy Vandenbosch, KU Leuven, Belgium 

Co-Chair: Ruey-Beei Wu, National Taiwan University, Taiwan 

Introduction 

The 2012 European Microwave Conference is proud to be hosting this 

Special Session of Invited Speakers, all of whom are internationally 

recognised as leading experts in microwave-related activities. The aim 

of Microwaves Inside Asia is to showcase microwave technologies 

from within Asia. The main objective is to provide a general overview of 

various microwave research strengths and system applications, as well 

as to identify common research topics of interests for the promotion 

of international collaboration. The Invited Speakers have been asked to 

advertise their host nation as a whole, as opposed to their own work 

or institution, and across as many disciplines as possible. They will 

try to represent a broad front of activities (e.g. antenna, circuits, and 

system integration technologies) from within academia, government 

laboratories and industry (from teaching to basic research to product 

development). This could include government initiatives, at local and 

national levels, and also identifying active university research groups, 

scientific hot spots, and leading industrial product developments/ 

markets. At the end of the session, a Panel discussion will enable the 

audience to interact with the speakers, ask them questions and explore 

the possibilities for future collaborations. 

Ultra High Efficiency Microwave Power Amplifier for Wireless 

Power Transmission Prof. Kazuhiko Honjo, The University of Electro 

Communications, Japan 

Wireless power transmission using microwave frequency of 5.8 GHz 

is considered as one of the important future infrastructures for electric 

power supply systems. A key device for this purpose is power amplifier. 

To achieve ultra-high efficiency power amplifier operations, not only 

a load condition at 5.8 GHz, but also the conditions at harmonic 

frequencies reaching to millimeter wave ranges are very important. 

This presentation reports comparative design techniques including 

class-F, inverse class-F, and class-J GaN HEMT amplifiers operating at 

5.8 GHz. Also a perspective of the wireless power transmission system 

is reported. 

High-Sensitivity Superconducting Receivers Developed for Mm 

& Submm Astronomy in China Dr. Sheng-Cai Shi, Key Lab of Radio 

Astronomy Chinese Academy of Sciences, China 

With outstanding sensitivity, superconducting mixers and detectors are 

playing an increasingly important role in mm- and submm-wave (a.k.a. 

THz) astronomy. Firstly, a newly developed 3×3 superconducting array 

receiver for the 100 GHz band will be introduced. Secondly, a 500 GHz 

receiver incorporating high-energy-gap NbN superconducting tunnel 

junctions will be presented. Thirdly, the latest development of China’s 

THz project at Dome A, Antarctic, will be addressed. 

Recent Wireless Power Transmission via Microwave and 

Millimeter-wave in Japan Prof. Naoki Shinohara, Research Institute 

for Sustainable Humanosphere, Kyoto University, Japan 

From 1980’s, Japan has lead a wireless power transmission (WPT) 

research, especially WPT via microwave or milimeter-wave (MPT) toward 

a Space Solar Power Satellite (SPS). We have developed high efficiency 

rectenna at 2.45 GHz, 5.8 GHz and 24 GHz. We have proposed and

Technology in Singapore Prof. Zhi Ning Chen, National University of 

Singapore/Institute for Infocomm Research 

This paper overviews the research and development (R&D) of 

microwave & millimeter-wave technology in public research institutions 

in Singapore. With increased investigation, Singapore government has 

supported several R&D programs related to microwave and millimeterwave 

technology. The R&D activities of local universities and research 

institutions, in particular, from Agency of Science, Technology and 

Research (A*STAR) in these areas are briefed. Several R&D programs 

will be introduced for information sharing and potential collaboration 

with overseas organizations. 

Millimeter-wave CMOS Transceiver Linearization for Ultra 

High-Speed Wireless Backhaul Links Prof. Tian-Wei Huang, National 

Taiwan University 

For future millimeter-wave backhaul links, the increasing demand 

of ultra high-speed data transmission over 10-Gbps is imposing an 

increasing modulation complexity from 64-QAM to 256-QAM, or even 

up to 1024-QAM, which results in a stringent linearity requirement of 

the millimeter-wave CMOS transceiver design. This talk will cover many 

parasitic-insensitive linearization techniques to enhance the linearity 

of millimeter-wave CMOS power amplifiers, frequency converters, 

and low-noise amplifiers. These techniques are essential for future 

efficiency enhancement and self-calibrated high-yield mass production 

of millimeter-wave products. 

Research and Development of Millimetre Wave Circuits and 

Subsystems in India-An Overview Prof. Shiban K Koul, Fellow IEEE, 

Indian Institute of Technology Delhi 

In this talk, different technologies used to build Millimetre Wave 

Integrated Circuits and Subsystems in India will be presented. Starting 

from conventional waveguides and planar microstrip technology, other 

key technologies including suspended stripline, dielectric integrated 

guide, Finline, LTCC, MEMS and MMIC will be described. Design 

methodology leading to development of several high performance 

components/subsystems at 35 GHz, 60 GHz, 94 GHz and 140 GHz along 

with experimental results will be presented. Recent initiative to carry out 

design and development of CMOS based millimetre wave front end for 

WPAN network application will also be described. In addition, research 

work to study feasibility of developing millimeter wave non-reciprocal 

circuits based on RF Nanotechnology will also be briefly described. 

Microwave Circuit Activities in Korea related to Mobile 

Communication Prof. Bumman Kim, Pohang University of Science and 

Technology, Pohang Korea 

Korea is a major provider for mobile handsets and also has some 

respectable production base in mobile infrastructure. These activities are 

carried out mainly by big companies, like Samsung, LG, and PanTech. 

Due to the large internal demand within Korea, the activities in 

microwave circuits are pretty strong. Together with the big companies, 

several smaller companies are involved in RFIC circuits. I will introduce 

these microwave circuit activities within Korea. In research area, Korea

is particularly active in Power Amplifier areas. I introduce those activities 

together with the future PA research trends. 

Recent Progress in Non-planar Microwave Filters – From Theory 

and Practices Prof. Ke-Li Wu, Dept. of Electronic Engineering, The 

Chinese University of Hong Kong. 

Microwave filter is a compulsory sub-system in all the communication 

systems. Its electric properties and characteristics decisively determine

About the Doctoral School of Microwaves 

As a result of the Bologna agreement, different international 

academic study programmes are becoming increasingly harmonised. 

This has resulted in university programmes that lead to broadly 

comparable B.Sc. and M.Sc. qualifications across Europe. 

In 2009, it was realised that the community of European Ph.D. 

students would be a fertile ground for one or more Ph.D. courses in 

microwave engineering. With support from the GAAS Association, 

the first of these programmes has been created and a pilot ran 

during the 2011 EuMW in Manchester. Due to the success of this 

pilot, the school will be launched in Amsterdam in 2012. As this is the 

first course in the Doctoral School of Microwaves, the starting point 

chosen is that which should be first: Microwave Fundamentals. 

From the foregoing, it is clear that the targeted audience of this 

two-day course is formed by Ph.D. students, predominantly in their 

first two years of study, with a field of research that is in some way 

related to the microwave domain. The course will be formed by 

two intensive days of lectures. Given the audience, there should be 

something to learn for everyone. Basic ideas for those who have 

just started, food for thought for those who have been around for a 

while. The programme focusses on passive microwaves, and covers 

transmission lines, S-parameters, matching, microwave theorems, 

coupled lines, splitters and combiners and the fundamentals of 

network analysis. It is a programme not to be missed! 

SPECIAL CONFERENCE MONDAY EVENTS 

the overall performance of a communication satellite and a wireless 

communication network. To meet the high demand on more stringent 

frequency selections, faster manufacturing turnaround, and more 

compact size, researches to have a better understanding of the business 

from the theory to practices are never stopped. This talk will focus on the 

recent research progress in microwave filters in the Chinese University 

of Hong Kong. 

Doctoral School of Microwaves: Microwave Fundamentals 

Women in Microwave Engineering 

Abstract: 

The programme is directed toward Ph.D. students. Obviously it is 

primarily for any Ph.D. student in the microwave domain, but the 

school also has relevance to high-speed digital designers and to 

people concerned with signal integrity in the broader sense. The 

programme is designed to lay the foundations, both mathematically as 

well as conceptually, for microwave analysis. It allows a fundamental 

understanding of high frequency passive circuits, and will prepare 

students to become intelligent users of commercial microwave and 

EM field simulators. As background, students will be expected to 

have attained a Bachelor/ Masters level qualification in Electrical 

Engineering, sufficient to enable them to be admitted to doctoral 

studies. Familiarity with basic circuit theory and Maxwell’s equations 

will be assumed. Up to 30 students can be accommodated.

RF, microwaves and the eternal technology challenge 

Pieter Hooijmans, Vice President R&D & Strategy, NXP Semiconductors, The Netherlands 

RF and microwaves continue to be a growing area, in terms of applications, frequency bands and performance 

requirements, where, depending upon the application, different price-performance requirements apply. These translate 

into optimized technologies. NXP as a leading player in RF has a broad portfolio of in-house technologies that cover 

frequencies from 100 MHz to 40 GHz . This presentation will, after a broad introduction, focus on the latest LDMOS 

power and Qubic4 BiCMOS IC technology and business developments. 

11:30 - 12:10 

Transistor and IC design for Sub-mm-wave and THz ICs 

Mark Rodwell, Full professor, University of California, Santa Barbara, US 

Power-gain cutoff frequencies of InP-based bipolar transistors now exceed 1 THz at the 128 nm scaling generation, 

enabling demonstration of highly integrated transmitter and receiver ICs at frequencies as high as 600 GHz. Yet higher 

frequencies of operation appear to be feasible at the 64 and 32 nm scaling nodes. We will review physics, scaling laws, 

challenges, and roadmaps for both InP-based bipolar and field-effect transistors and will summarize recent progress in 

monolithic 650 GHz transceiver development.

Unfogging the Future 

Yrjö Neuvo, Aalto University 

As predicted by Moore’s law, the performance of microelectronics has increased exponentially over last several decades. 

During the last 25 years the performance has increased 10000 fold. What is not so obvious is that during the same time 

the wireless data speeds have increased by the same factor. The results of these developments are all around us. The 

number of mobile phone subscriptions is approaching World population, Internet usage continues to double every few 

years, search engines have penetrated our daily lives and social networks are fundamentally changing our personal 

communication patterns. In addition, there is a strong expectation that ICT will be a key element in solving our societal 

scale challenges like energy, climate change. 

This presentation explores future avenues of technological developments in the ICT sector. Are there alternatives to 

silicon based microelectronics? Where and how can we get more wireless data capacity and speed? How does Future 

Internet look like? How do we create the large scale systems like smart grids, smart cities and smart health care? This all 

emphasizes the importance of collaboration in a global and cross disciplinary environment but does not substitute the 

traditional characteristics of good researchers like excellence, curiosity, hard work and entrepreneurial mind set.

Antenna Technology: From Hertz’s Spark-Gap Dipole to the Smart Phone 

Constantine A. Balanis, Arizona State University 

Antenna technology has undergone a drastic evolution from the days of Hertz, with his spark-gap with end-loaded 

dipole, to today’s high performance Active Electronically Scanned Arrays (AESA) and multiband antennas for smart 

phones, electronic pads and mobile devices. This extraordinary advancement of modern antenna technology is attributed 

to many factors, starting with the innovation in the 1940s of microwave sources and amplifiers (such as the reflex 

klystron, magnetron, and traveling wave tube amplifier). The antenna technology reached even greater heights with 

the introduction and advancements of integrated circuits, solid state technology, unique and creative radiator designs, 

and signal processing algorithms. Recently electromagnetic band-gap structures, and the integration of materials, have 

begun to play a pivotal role. Although numerical and computational methods, and associated full-wave simulators, 

have also contributed to this advancement, basic concepts and fundamental principles in the physical realization, 

interpretation and verification of simulated designs and associated results should be emphasized. In this presentation 

the evolution of antenna technology is reviewed, from the days of Hertz and Marconi to the present. The timelines over 

which antenna technology leaped forward are identified and the various antenna configurations developed during those 

periods are highlighted.

How about nano in micro-wave applications? 

Dave Blank, Full professor, Twente University, The Netherlands 

What could be the role of nanotechnology in micro-wave applications? New smart materials, smaller devices, nanoantennas 

or nano-switches are only some of the areas where nano will play a role in the future. In this talk an outlook 

from a scientific point of view will be given, addressing material engineering at the nano-scale and opening up a whole 

world of opportunities.

Micromachined probes for characterization of submillimeter-wave on-wafer 

components 

Robert M. Weikle II, professor, University of Virginia, US 

In recent years, an infrastructure for measurement and characterization of circuits and devices in the terahertz region 

of the spectrum has begun to emerge. Vector network analyzes operating to 1 THz and above are now commercially 

available and national metrology laboratories in Europe, Japan, and the United States are currently evaluating standards 

for waveguides, interfaces, and calibration that are needed for accurate terahertz measurements. It is preferable to 

characterize such devices in-situ, where the device under test can be measured on-wafer, prior to dicing and separately 

from the circuit housing to which it is ultimately affixed. This is commonly done in the RF and millimeter-wave region 

with a probe station equipped with coplanar launchers. Commercial coplanar waveguide probes are generally available 

through the WR-2.2 band (325—500 GHz) but few options currently exist for on-wafer measurements above this band. 

This talk describes recent research to extend on-wafer measurement capabilities to terahertz frequencies through the 

design and implementation of on-wafer probes based on silicon micromachining.

Automotive Radar – History, state-of-the-art and future 

trends 

Holger H. Meinel, Daimler AG 

Automotive radar based on millimetre waves - today in the 24/ 26 GHz and in 

the 77/ 79 GHz range – has been under investigation and development since 

several decades. Since 1997 automotive radar is commercially available and 

employed by various OEM’s all over the world, until now predominantly in 

expensive Premium cars. With the standard serial implementation of a CPA 

sensor (Collision Prevention Assist) in 2011, democratization of vehicle safety 

has now been started on a broad level. Today such radar systems are used for 

various vehicular applications. The final goal of autonomous driving comes 

into view. Different frequency bands, modulation schemes, emission powers, 

or radiation patterns are employed today. However, more sophisticated 

approaches, like DBF (Digital Beam Forming) antennas or polarimetric signal 

evaluation are, concerning automotive radar, still in research and development. 

Automotive radar, the history, today’s state-of-the-art as well as possible 

future trends will be reviewed. 

11:35 - 12:20 

RF Technology as an enabler for Future Above Water

CAPT (WE) B.R. Hendriks MA, Netherlands Defense Materiel Organization 

Future Surface Combatants face the challenges of multi-role tasking 

anticipating the challenges of a global maritime security environment, whilst 

coping with trends like reduced manning, intensive operational use, in theatre 

maintenance and having to control and reduce life cycle costs. Answering such 

a requirement package has impact on the sensor and communication fit of 

naval platforms. Radar functionalities, architectures and last but not least RF 

front-ends are key-issues to be analyzed in order to meet the challenges the 

future offers us.

Future Development of Microwave and Millimeter Wave Technologies in Europe 

Ingo Wolff, IMST GmbH 

During the last years mass market RF communication companies have left Europe and there is nearly no more relevant 

industry in this area. In the microwave and millimeter wave technology area still a relevant number of small and medium 

companies are available and they are in a good shape, mostly have their own research department and are developing 

new and attractive applications in this area. 

An interesting trend is the "reinvention" of the satellite communication technique in Europe. Over more than ten 

years this technology was heavily neglected. Now the national and the European space agencies try to recover this 

lost area. New space qualified electronics, packaging technologies and antennas are developed especially for the 20 

GHz to 30 GHz frequency range and for a new generation of satellites. In the higher frequency areas, e.g. at 60 GHz 

first applications for broadband short range communication can be recognized and in the 80 GHz area new radar 

developments with cheaper technologies lead the way to a mass production for application in surveillance, security 

control and in motor cars as well as in industry and production. For a more precise measurement, new developments in 

radar technology at 120 GHz are under the way. The millimeter wave and the sub-millimeter wave region will become of 

high interest for scanning techniques and communication in the future. New technologies, circuit designs and packing 

technologies have to be developed for this frequency range. 

Microwave and millimeter wave techniques and equipment which normally are of high complexity still are and will be 

an interesting market for the specialized European companies in the coming ten to twenty years. The presentation will 

give an overview of this development. 

16:30 - 17:00 

Business as usual? 

Jacob Fokkema, Delft University of Technology 

Nobody will deny it: Universities are the centers where new knowledge is generated; where students are trained in the 

highest echelons of thinking. Universities are the batteries from which the society draws the power to continue on the 

path of lasting success. All true, but will this concept last forever in the way we have implemented it now? Not in 

my opinion. 

Nowadays the university is seen as an intellectual workshop where knowledge is for sale and advice is given on 

demand. It is the money that primarily drives the success and that money is only attracted if the university has an 

excellent reputation: higher ranking attracts money. To achieve this you have to recruit the best scientists; pay them 

more, because you are in competition with other universities. On top of that, the universities are strongly invited by their 

governments through words and budget to contribute to the state’s welfare with the credo: thou should innovate. 

There is nothing wrong with this picture, but it does not do justice to the university. In the end, it will not create the 

environment where vulnerable curiosity easily sprouts, where we attract young minds eagerly looking for an adventure 

in knowledge land. They are the fertile soil on which the university blossoms, because they don’t know what is 

impossible yet. 

Industries, state agencies and academia have to accept a level playing field to guarantee that the university as an 

intellectual stronghold subsists. 

Yes we can, we can innovate, but only together.

Radar Innovation Challenges 

From technology breakthroughs to customer added value: an industrial viewpoint 

Rene de Jongh, Thales Nederland B.V. 

In the last 10 years strong changes have occurred on customer needs for radar sensors. These needs are driven by 

military operations that are taking place in highly complex operating environments and which are evolving over time. 

At the same time major technology breakthroughs have been made that impact radar system design. The most 

noticeable are the increasing level of miniaturization in RF electronics enabling Active Electronically Scanned Arrays 

(AESA), high speed signal and data processing hardware and the introduction of new advanced algorithms that improve 

detection, classification and tracking of targets. 

The key challenge is to connect these technological breakthroughs to real operational added value. Objective of this 

paper is to address this challenge. Customer added value will be shown by using real life examples. Furthermore, an 

outlook will be presented to future steps in radar technologies and associated operational benefits

Wireless Sensors and Sensor Systems in emerging hostile applications 

Abstract 

Important motivations for the use of wireless sensors in many 

applications are improved reliability and reduced weight upon 

elimination of wires, and the ease and flexibility of responding to 

project modifications or updates. However wireless sensor systems 

for electromagnetically and physically harsh environments require 

also communication, wireless interfaces and packaging that are 

robust against the hostile environment. 

In the particular case of harsh environment, and certain industrial 

applications, additional requirements are battery-free operation; 

low or no-maintenance sensor instrumentation; and sensor 

location in demanding EM and physically demanding mountings 

e.g. on high acceleration rotating parts. 

The workshop will focus on these for the sensor system demanding 

environments from the perspective of how to create robust 

communication (e.g. modulation method and antenna diversity, 

coexistence and interference mitigation techniques), wireless 

interface (e.g. robust RF electronics) and EM/physically compatible 

packaging. The applications to be presented in the workshop 

cover wireless sensors networks (WSN) used in different scenarios, 

including e.g. transport, engines, body centric networks and natural 

disaster monitoring.

Digital-RF and Digitally-Enhanced Transceiver Architectures 

Organizers: 

Gernot Hueber, NXP Semiconductors, Austria 

R. Bogdan Staszewski, Delft University of Technology, 

The Netherlands 

Abstract 

The growing need for flexible and re-configurable radios goes 

against the current use of dedicated hardware that is particularly 

designed and optimized for only a single application and/or a 

single part of the radio spectrum. At the same time, the overall 

size and cost of the radio equipment has to be kept within limits. 

This is especially difficult in multi-antenna multi-radio scenarios. 

As a result, the current architectures implemented in, for example, 

nanoscale CMOS, incur various imperfections and impairments 

in the radio frequency (RF) electronics. Good examples of such 

imperfections are, e.g., mirror-frequency interference due to 

I/Q imbalance, non-linear distortion due to mixer and amplifier 

nonlinearities, timing jitter and non-linearities in sampling and 

analog-to-digital (A/D) converter circuits, and oscillator phase 

noise. These impairments need to be understood and avoided 

through digital enhancements, otherwise they become the limiting 

factor on the quality and performance of the radios. In addition, 

novel digital-RF transceiver architectures are developed to make 

use of the scaled CMOS technology and allow more complex and 

more sensitive high-order modulated wideband communications 

systems. This workshop gives an overview of the essential digital- 

RF and digitally-enhanced techniques for the mitigation of RF 

impairments and avoidance by novel transceiver architectures as 

nowadays implemented in scaled CMOS.

Abstract 

High frequency of operation is essential for many future systems 

of Information Society Technology (IST), such as, for example 

80 and 160 Gb/s optical fiber transmission or broadband (>100 

Gb/s) wireless applications. In addition to IST applications, the 

development of sensors and detectors is of key importance for 

biological and biomedical applications, as well as, security and 

early warning systems utilizing gas detection. These require 

the detection of resonance frequencies of gases and biological 

molecules located in the millimeter and sub-millimeter spectral 

domain (hundreds of GHz to THz). The proposed Workshop will 

address a broad spectrum of technologies, from device level to 

system level, that are important for THz applications and will cover 

their design, modeling, process and characterization aspects. 

The Workshop is intended primarily for young scientists and 

engineers interested in learning about this emerging field, but 

is also useful for people with more advanced understanding of 

related concepts. Optical as well as electronics based technologies 

and techniques, important for future key THz applications, will be 

discussed by experts from Europe, Japan and the US

Advances in Multilayer/3D Embedded Components and MCM/SOP Technologies for Challenging 

Microwave and Mm-wave Wireless Applications 

Organizers: 

Dr. Kamal K. Samanta, Milmega, UK 

Prof. Ali Rezazadeh, University of Manchester, UK 

Abstract 

Emerging wireless applications of microwave and mm-wave 

frequencies, including that for broadband multimedia, wireless 

home, passive sensing and radar, are growing very rapidly, which 

requires development of compact modules/systems delivering 

advanced circuit performance at a reasonable cost. 

The 3D/multilayer system-integration technologies, such as MCM 

(Multi-Chip-Module) or System-in-Package (SiP) or Systemon-Package 

(SoP) have emerged as the leading methods of 

miniaturization and offers several advantages over discrete or onchip 

passive components and is widely regarded as an excellent 

means of realising compact high frequency module/system with 

ever-greater product functionality. 

A variety of multilayer technologies, including low temperature 

co-fired ceramic (LTCC), liquid crystal polymer (LCP), advanced 

photoimageable thick-film, 3D-MMIC and thin film (MCM-D) are 

being developed to miniaturise the components (including antenna 

and filters), circuits (actives and passives) and systems on a single 

multilayer substrate. This very timely workshop will feature a wide 

range of presentations and will provide a comprehensive overview 

and understanding of the state-of-the-art multilayer/3D MCM/SoP 

technologies, and also will aware the participants on recent and 

important advances including integration of mix technologies for 

novel multilayer components/systems for challenging microwave 

and mm-wave wireless applications. The speakers are the experts 

and are all leading contributors in both industrial and academic 

sectors.

Near Field Probes: Useful Tools for Microwave Engineers 

Organizers: 

Dr. Arturo Mediano, University of Zaragoza, Spain 



Abstract 

Engineers and technicians in RF/MW fields are usually very interested 

in EMI fundamentals because they experiment (suffer) their effects 

on their lab (EMI and “RF black magic”) or production work (EMC). 

They usually need to solve the problems in a short time, under 

pressure and by trial and error. In that process, electric and magnetic 

near field probes are very useful tools. With them, we can “see” 

magnetic and electric fields, find EMI sources, evaluate cable layouts, 

test shielding materials or enclosures, etc. But, near field probes are 

useful too in a lot of other jobs for RF/MW engineers as for example 

tuning circuits in a “non-invasive” way. The simple ideas and practical 

examples presented in this short course will be very useful for that 

engineers that cannot be considered EMI/EMC specialists but have 

a good RF/MW knowledge and interest in trouble-shooting circuits. 

The short course was designed considering that: 

1) attendants are RF/MW engineers usually very interested in lab 

work and experimentation but they are not EMI/EMC specialists. 

2) practical/real-world ideas and examples are usually welcomed so 

we will use them. 

3) no hard mathematical treatment of EMI/RF will be used in this 

tutorial.

Why professional LSNA, NVNA, scope and VSA users care about accurate phase information 

Organizers: 

Yves Rolain, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium 

Frans Verbeyst, NMDG NV, Belgium 

Abstract 

This workshop is a “must attend” for RF and microwave engineers 

involved in the measurement-based characterization of nonlinear 

systems. Users and developers of nonlinear vector measurement 

setups (including an LSNA, NVNA, high-frequency scope or VSA) 

get a complete update about the current state of the art in the 

phase-related aspects of the waveform calibration process. 

The workshop is intended to be a forum where metrology experts 

meet users and share ideas, problems and solutions to quantify, 

improve and tune the accuracy of current measurements to the 

expectations of the user. 

The morning session is devoted to the metrology aspects. Users 

meet experts from leading national metrology institutes from 

all over the world. They provide an overview of state-of-theart 

primary calibration techniques to provide accurate phase 

information. Traceability of the user owned comb generator, largesignal 

network analyzer, high-frequency scope or vector signal 

analyzer is addressed. Optoelectronic (O/E) and electro-optic 

sampling (EOS) techniques as applied in Europe and the US and 

recent enhancements of the nose-to-nose calibration technique as 

developed in Asia are reviewed and explained. 

The afternoon session focuses on the user side. Metrology experts 

now meet some of their users. Applications involving state-of-theart 

network analyzer and real-time oscilloscope measurements 

are presented. Topics include multi-port load-pull measurements, 

mixer characterization and time-domain waveform measurements. 

The use of waveform calibration techniques in combination with 

real-time oscilloscopes is shown to lead to unprecedented insight 

during transmission line pulse (TLP) ESD tests, including highimpedance 

probing. 

The workshop concludes with an informal discussion think tank not 

only about the adequacy of the actual phase calibration techniques 

and traceability paths, but also about the expectations of and the 

problems encountered by the industrial and research users. The 

localization of synergies and potential pitfalls is expected to pave 

the way for the developments of the years to come.

RF-MEMS for Mm-wave Reconfigurable ICs 

Organizers: 

Pierre Blondy, XLIM, Limoges, France 

Mehmet Kaynak, IHP, Frankfurt/Oder, Germany 

Hermann Schumacher, Ulm University, Ulm, Germany 

Abstract 

RF-MEMS technologies, a promising technology investigated for 

twenty years, recently became commercially available, providing 

reconfiguration in cell phones or serving in tunable matching 

networks. Several companies worldwide now offer RF-MEMS 

components, others are about to provide early access to their 

RF-MEMS technologies in foundry-like mode. While commercial 

applications operate below 40 GHz, interest grows significantly in 

RF-MEMS devices for mm-wave systems such as 60 GHz WLAN, 

77 GHz radar, 80 GHz communication, 94 GHz imaging, 122 GHz 

sensor/radar and 140 GHz imaging. These systems need lowloss 

switching components and reconfigurability. Mass-market 

applications such as cell phones will push commercial qualification 

of RF-MEMS technologies, which will build confidence and shorten 

the time-to-market for mm-wave RF-MEMS components. 

This workshop will start with an overview of the reconfigurability 

requirements in mm-wave application from a system point of view. 

The main switch technologies for mm-wave applications, including 

PIN diodes, RF-MEMS and FET technologies will be summarized. 

Monolithic integration of RF-MEMS switches into SiGe BiCMOS 

and GaAs technologies will be introduced and several mm-wave 

reconfigurable circuit examples, such as LNAs and VCOs, presented. 

Key enablers of commercialization like packaging, reliability and 

design-kit implementation, will also be extensively discussed. 

The workshop is promoted by the EuMA Topical Group on RF 

MEMS.

Recent Advancements in RF Power Amplifier Modeling and Pre-distortion 

Organizer: 

John Dooley, National University of Ireland Maynooth, Ireland 

Dominique Schreurs, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium 

Abstract 

In recent years, there has been a proliferation of wireless 

communication systems designed to provide higher data rates 

and greater network capacity. These improvements are possible 

to a point as wideband signal transmission can be achieved with 

some existing technology. However there is a renewed push from 

manufacturers of telecommunication equipment to further reduce 

the operating cost of these systems into the future. 

New behavioural modelling techniques and pre-distortion 

techniques are therefore needed in order to help design and deliver 

future mobile communication networks. This workshop presents 

an overview on some of the latest developments in the area of 

behavioural modelling and pre-distortion for high frequency power 

amplifiers that may be used in future networks. 



Mm-Wave Technologies for Space 

Organizer: 

Tapani Närhi, ESA-ESTEC, The Netherlands 

Abstract 

This workshop aims to present the status of specific development 

actions of European Commission (EC) and European Space Agency 

(ESA) on millimetre-wave technologies for space applications. 

TeraComp and MIDAS are two activities within the 7th Framework 

Programme of EC started in 2010. TeraComp (‘Terahertz heterodyne 

receiver Components for future European space missions’) aims at 

developing European capabilities in terahertz electronicas based 

on Schottky diodes, Heterostructure Barrier Varactors (HBVs), and 

Metamorphic HEMT (MHEMT) MMICs. A receiver demonstrator 

operating at 557 GHz will be built using these technologies. 

The aim of MIDAS (‘Millimetre-wave Integrated Diode and Amplifier 

Sources’) is to develop mm-wave power sources using European 

Schottky varactor multipliers and power amplifiers. A series of 

demonstrators will be built, extending from 75 to 330 GHz. The 

main goal of the mm-wave technology activities of ESA in recent 

years has been the next generation of operational meteorological

Graphene RF Nanoelectronics 


Organizers: 

Luca Pierantoni, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy 

Fabio Coccetti, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, 


Abstract 

In view to the new epochal scenarios that nanotechnology disclose, 

nanoelectronics has the potential to introduce a paradigm shift 

in electronic systems design similar to that of the transition from 

vacuum tubes to semiconductor devices. Since many nano-scale 

devices and materials exhibit their most interesting properties at 

radio-frequencies (RF), nanoelectronics provides an enormous and 

yet widely undiscovered opportunity for the microwave engineering 

community. Among these materials, graphene is quickly becoming 

an extremely interesting solutions for a wide variety of electronic 

devices and circuits. 

It offers the possibility of outstanding performances with much 

lower power draw, using processing technology compatible 

to that used in advanced silicon device fabrication (CMOS). 

Graphene science and technology has undergone an astonishing 

development since its experimental demonstration in 2004, and its 

unique properties have caught the interest of physicists, chemists 

and engineers alike. 

This general excitement has resulted in an explosion of ideas and 

suggestions for future Radio-Frequency applications and beyond. 

In this Workshop, we address i) the state of the art and the future 

potential of large area, scalable graphene synthesis methods, ii) the 

impact of graphene-based electronic devices for Radio-Frequency 

electronics, including applications “outside the box” of standard 

design rules, the potential of graphene for broadband, high speed 

optoelectronics up to the THz regime, including photodetection, 

light modulation and lasing. We introduce novel graphene devices 

based on flexible substrate, graphene hot electron transistors, 

graphene devices and for ubiquitous RF electronics. 

We present advanced techniques for the full-wave modeling aimed 

at the investigation of new graphene based nanodevices.

Target Tracking Beyond the Second Century 

Organizers:

Dr Mehmet Burak Guldogan, Linköpings University 

Dr Christian Lundqvist, Linköpings University

Abstract 

Ever since the first radar system was demonstrated a hundred 

years ago, the standard application has been to threshold the 

returned signal in analogue hardware to give range rate, bearing 

and later range measurements from the strongest echo as an 

indicator of a point object. The target tracking theory has evolved 

from this practical constraint and the needs from the defense 

industry. The main steps in multi-target tracking (MTT) in state-ofthe-art 

algorithms consist of (i) data association (to which target 

a range- bearing detection belongs to), (ii) track handling (track is 

defined as a state trajectory from one target), and (iii) Kalman filter 

recursions for each target track. Each target is here represented 

with its kinematic state (position, velocity etc). 

During the last decade, there has been an intensive development 

and cross-fertilization between different research communities – 

e.g. computer vision, robotics, or sensor networks – of alternative 

and more flexible approaches to MTT. 

One theme in the tutorial is to review different options to extend 

the state vector, with other target specific features than its 

kinematic state. The obvious way is to include its spatial extension 

to describe multiple radar reflections, but other features based 

on vibrations or acoustic emissions are also very promising for 

circumventing the data association and track handling problems. 

The particle filter is here often a technical enabler to handle the 

more complex nonlinear filtering problem. 

A second theme is to investigate new ways to represent the state 

space. The classical way is to have one state for each target. New 

trends try to release the necessity of track handling by operating 

on a joint state space for all targets. Track before detect (TBD) 

avoids thresholding the radar echo and uses the complete impulse 

response of the radar. Here, the likelihood of target presence can 

be represented on a position grid. This relates to the concepts of 

occupancy grids or other intensity representations. Eventually, this 

leads to the theory of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) 

filter, which has proven to be a very efficient way to track multiple 

targets with low SNR and a large degree of clutter. 

The tutorial will focus on describing the key ideas and explaining 

the main filter recursions on a level suitable for practitioners, and it 

is richly illustrated with instructive applications.

Noise Radar Systems 

Organizer: 

Prof. Krzysztof Kulpa, Warsaw University of Technology, Poland 

Abstract 

For a long time the use of different waveforms for radar applications 

have been studied. First radars used short pulses, but high peak 

power – up to megawatts. The development of signal processing 

lead to more advanced waveforms. To decrease the peak power the 

concept of continuous wave radar was introduced and nowadays 

there are many FMCW radars using linear frequency modulation 

and low power. FMCW radars with linear modulation are very 

popular, because after the homodyne receiver the signal processing 

is based on FFT and it is possible to achieve high range resolution 

with low sampling rate and low computational power. 

At the computational power is no longer the main limitation in 

radar technology, a lot of new ideas and different radar concept is 

being investigated. While one of the main disadvantage of classical 

radars is range and velocity ambiguity related to repetition of 

transmitted waveform, the scientist are looking for non-periodical 

waveforms with desired properties. One of such waveforms is 

random or pseudo-random signal, similar to white noise. 

The first investigations on applying noise signals for radar purpose 

are dated from the half of XX century, but the research sped up 

in the last decade. A radar using noise waveform is free from 

ambiguities, and due to continuous illumination of targets it can 

be used both for detection and target imaging using SAR and 

ISAR concept. Very low power density of emitted noise signals 

contributes to LPI nature of such radars and even if detected are 

difficult to identify. 

During the workshop the scientists from Italy, Ukraine and Poland 

will deliver their new results in this emerging field of knowledge. 

The attendees may learn a lot about this new radar technology 

and discuss problems with the researchers working currently in the 

novel area of radar technology. 

The presentation will start with introduction to Noise Radar 

Technology with an overview of the basic ideas, problems and 

achievements. The second talk will be dedicated to target imaging 

using noise radar and will be held by prof. Lukin who started the 

Noise Radar Technology conferences in 2002. The third presentation 

will go deeply into signal processing describing cross-ambiguity 

function modification for target detection, the CLEAN algorithms 

to reduce masking effects end sparse sensing to improve the 

target imaging for non-cooperative target recognition. The final 

presentation will be focused on modern MIMO radars using 

noise and noise-like waveform to increase radar sensitivity and 

functionality. The presentation will highlight the concept of MIMO 

radars, show different waveforms used in such systems and finally 

show how to design noise waveforms for MIMO radar.

Recent Developments in Phased Array Radar 

Abstract 

This workshop gives an overview of the latest developments and 

applications of phased array radar systems and technology by 

leading experts from research establishments and industry. 

In the naval domain, Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) 

technology supports capabilities such as Anti-Air Warfare and 

Ballistic Missile Defence, and provides strong benefits for the 

design of the ship’s superstructure and overall life cycle cost. 

In the MPAR programme, radar technology is developed that 

supports both weather and primary aircraft surveillance. Key 

technology challenges include low cost dual polarized active phased 

array panels, and overlapped digital sub-array architecture. 

Radar imaging and GMTI capabilities of the airborne multifunction 

system PAMIR will be described. An overview is given of an L-band 

digital receive array demonstrator, developed for the ESA Space 

Situational Awareness (SSA) programme, with digitization at 

carrier frequency and real-time multi-beam forming. 

Recent technology developments pave the way for the coming 

generations of airborne multifunction RF systems with AESA 

including both radar and EW functions. Radiating elements, 

electronics (GaN/SiGe MMIC, MEMS), packaging, cooling, and 

array topology will be discussed. 

Coherent co-located MIMO phased array radar uses several 

waveform generators to transmit orthogonal codes simultaneously. 

The benefits and properties of coherent MIMO radar will be 

presented, and experimental results gathered with a coherent 

MIMO phased array. 

State-of-the-art phased array technology for spaceborne SAR will 

be discussed and digital beam forming for the next generation of 

SAR systems will be explored. Reflector-based e-scan antennas will 

be presented which form a good compromise in complexity and 

flexibility for SAR systems requiring very high gain antennas. 

Phased arrays for ESM and ECM applications will be presented 

including T/R-module and Rotman lens designs, MEMS components 

in phased array radar, sparse array architectures for 3D-SAR 

applications, and measurements of a 210 GHz FMCW imaging 

radar system for person scanner experiments. 

LOFAR is the first of the new generation of radio telescopes with 

40.000 antennas spread over 6 European countries. SKA will 

explore the Universe with phased array systems that are orders of 

magnitude more powerful than LOFAR.

Advances in radar techniques for measuring extreme events in urban environments 

Organizers: 

H. W. J. Russchenberg, Director TU-Delft Climate Institute 

Abstract 

There is a world trend for large urban areas. Strong or lengthy 

precipitation in urban environments may seriously perturb the daily 

life of the citizens. It is therefore important to have an accurate 

monitoring of precipitation with high spatial and time resolution. 

For this purpose, large cities like Rotterdam are willing to invest in 

polarimetric X-band weather radar to complement the long range 

national weather radars operating at lower frequencies. 

In this workshop, state-of-the-art radar techniques to process 

weather radar data and retrieve relevant parameters to quantify 

the precipitation are presented. The precipitation measurements 

and retrievals necessary for hydrology and water management will 

be discussed.

Abstract 

The capabilities of modern military multifunction/multi-mission/ 

multi-role radars cannot be fully realized by using older sensor 

control strategies, due to the advance in radar technology and 

the complexity of the tactical environment and threats. The most 

obvious radar management imperative is the real-time optimization 

of available resource to meet the changing operational mission, 

according to an assessment of the current environment conditions 

and tactical requests from an external center. 

The objective of the Short Course is to present: 

Main principles of Intelligent Radar Resources Management; 

Survey of Strategies for Radar Time Budget Regulation; 

Algorithms for threat assessment, dynamic dwell priority allocation, 

real-time dwell planning/scheduling, Load Handling/Control,…

Cognitive Radar Resources Management 

Organizers: 



William Dawber, Qinetiq, UK 


Alexander Charlish, FKIE, Germany 

Abstract 

Radar Sensors are now more and more integrated in complex 

systems and information systems. This trend aims at implementing 

more coherent, efficient, and reactive processes. Nevertheless, 

their development involves suitable evolutions in radar resources 

management concepts. On one hand, disparate data have to be 

efficiently managed from the observation to the decision level, 

taking into account all their specificities. On the other hand, 

information has to be obtained through a dynamical process of 

resource management, such that the whole system provides the 

best fitting with needs, environment and context. Obviously system 

design and control are major problems in term of autonomy of 

radar sensors and interactions between them, and they need 

individual and collective behavior optimization. 

This workshop deals with Dynamic Multifunction and Multi-mission 

Radar Resources Management (RRM), consisting in waveforms and 

dwells space-time resources allocation and scheduling, for better 

adaptation to the environment and to tactical situations/threats. 

To optimize the Radar Time Budget, the RRM shares and allocates 

resources between functions (Search, Confirmation, Active Track, 

Re-Acquisition, NCTR…) taking into account simultaneously time 

constraints and priority constraints to find the optimal use of radar 

capability in an autonomous or collaborative way of functioning. 

The purpose of the workshop is to build a prospective view 

of this particularly large but emergent thematic, considering 

methodological aspects as well as application potential for ground, 

naval and airborne platforms.

MOSARIM - MOre Safety for All by Radar Interference Mitigation 

Abstract 

Since several years millimeter-wave radar systems are used for 

vehicular applications, predominantly for comfort functions and 

steadily increasing today also for safety applications. Different 

carrier frequencies, modulation schemes, emission powers and 

radiation patterns are used. Within the next years the penetration 

rate of vehicular radar systems in this emerging market will 

increase drastically. Especially for safety-related applications 

possible interference might threaten further proliferation if function 

limitations should occur. 

Within the MOSARIM project, the state-of-the-art situation has 

been analyzed and scenarios for worst-case situations have been 

defined. A simulation framework has been developed and verified 

by means of practical laboratory and road test results. 

Various mitigation techniques have been implemented and tested 

within already existing sensors. 

Finally, all results have been evaluated and guidelines and 

recommendations have been derived for consideration to be 

implemented in future sensor versions. 

In this workshop the obtained results of will be presented.

How Advances in Radar Development Drive 

Testing Requirements for Next Generation 

EW Systems 

As radar systems evolve from single function/single mode systems 

to modern digital electronically scanned multi-mode systems, radar 

warning receivers (RWR) must keep pace with the rapidly changing 

electronic battlefield. This paper describes this evolutionary 

process and the need to test RWRs to ensure new threats can be 

properly identified. In addition, simple methods to perform RWR 

testing with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) test equipment are 

discussed. 


Measurement Strategies for High- 

Frequency Wideband Vector Analysis 

Technologies in RADAR, satellite and commercial communications 

continue to push higher frequency and wider bandwidths. This 

paper will review various correction techniques and trade-offs for 

measurement quality. Measurement costs will also be addressed 

and include measurement time, ease of implementation, and overall 

equipment costs. The focus will be on vector based measurements 

such as modulation quality for frequencies all the way to V band. 

Both stimulus and receive methods will be reviewed with signal 

bandwidths from 10's of Megahertz to more than a Gigahertz. 


Understanding Phase Noise Needs and 

Choices in Signal Generation 

Phase noise is a fundamental performance measure of RF/ 

microwave sources and along with other basic characteristics 

it drives the cost of solutions. Since some signal generators are 

available with two or more levels of phase noise performance and 

may allow performance to be optimized for wide or narrow offsets, 

phase noise choices have become more complicated and important. 

This presentation includes a brief overview of signal generation 

choices and their relative performance. The presentation also 

discusses the effect of phase noise on some common systems and 

how to use customized (selectively degraded) phase noise to test 

system response to phase noise impairments.

Network Analysis: Getting the Most from 

your Measurement Setup 

Complete characterization of passive and active devices requires 

magnitude and phase information that are typically obtained from 

a Vector Network Analyzer. Testing these devices at microwave 

frequencies (>20GHz) offers unique challenges and constraints for 

RF engineers. This Agilent Technologies workshop will outline best 

practices for NA analysis, discuss some common pitfalls that can 

be avoided and offer advise on how to get the most from your 

network analyzer setup. 


From Gigahertz to Terahertz: The 

Essentials of Very High Frequency Signal 

Measurements 

Signal sources and detectors now available in the frequency range 

from 300GHz through 3THz are fostering both the growth of 

scientific investigations in this important frequency band and the 

development of new applications such as security, communications 

and medical diagnostics. Today high quality heterodyne receivers 

are now available to extend the performance of modern spectrum 

analyzers to at least 1.1THz. This presentation will show practical 

measurements above 500GHz, including a discussion of the set-up 

of the measurement system and examples of measured data for 

sources with different characteristics. 


Measurement Techniques for Radar and 

Electronic Warfare Applications 

Radar and electronic warfare (EW) systems pose many unique 

requirements in terms of the types of signals used and the analysis 

that must be performed to ensure system performance. Complex 

modulations, multiple coherent emitters and wider bandwidths 

provide further challenges for high performance designs. This 

presentation will review measurement techniques can be useful in 

characterizing pulsed radars, from basic tests through techniques 

for coherent, multichannel systems utilizing pulse compression. 


Best Practices for Making the Most Accurate 

Radar Pulse Measurements 

RF and microwave power measurements are critical at every 

stage of radar system lifecycle. It helps to ensure that the basic 

performance of the radar systems is met. Today’s test engineers 

are challenged to deliver comprehensive test results within a tight 

schedule. This forces them to search for equipment that allows 

the most coverage and provide fastest measurement speed. The 

most cost effective way of analyzing the output power from radar 

system is with RF and microwave power meters and sensors. In 

this workshop, we will show how to make the fastest and most 

accurate radar pulse measurements using our USB peak power 

sensors and peak power analyzer.

Complete mm-Converter Measurement 

System including Noise Figure 

Millimeter-wave converter systems are moving from aerospace/ 

defense applications to commercial and consumer applications. 

These new uses require compact and low-cost designs, often using 

mm-IC technology. But their performance must still be assured 

using performance test familiar to RF converter applications such 

as Gain and Phase fl atness, Detector Sensitivity, Compression and 

Noise Figure. Until now, this group of tests required a rack of 

equipment and multiple-connections. Today, we present a single 

mm-wave up-converter/down-converter 4 port system, comprised 

of two mm-ports and two RF-ports, that can provide in a single 

connection all the required tests including receiver noise fi gure at 

mm-frequencies. 

Tuesday 30th October, 11:00 – 12:00 

New Advances in VNA Calibration: Cal All 

Modern network analyzers such as the PNA and PNA-X can 

provide multi-function capability such as Gain and Match 

measurements (S-Parameters), Distortion Measurements such as 

Harmonics and Two-Tone IMD, Gain Compression and Noise Figure 

measurements. All these measurements can be confi gured for 

Amplifi ers or Frequency Converters (e.g. Mixers). In many cases, 

the Device-Under-Test (DUT) must be characterized with varying 

input powers, in different modes (such as swept power or swept 

frequency) and over different bands of frequencies. Normally a 

separate VNA channel setup is used for each distinct measurement 

required, and in the past, a separate Calibration was required for 

each different channel setup.A new VNA capability, which we call 

“Cal All”, provides a means to calibrate all the PNA channels and 

all the PNA measurement setups with a single-connection of a 

power meter, and an Ecal. This workshop will go into the detail of 

this new technique. 


Sub-millimeter Wave 183 GHz and 366 GHz 

MMIC Membrane Sub-harmonic Mixers by 

Farran Technologies 

The design, fabrication and 

testing of broadband fi xedtuned 

183 GHz and 366 GHz 

sub-harmonic mixers is discussed. Two mixer circuits using 

planar Schottky diodes monolithically integrated with RF/LO and 

IF matching and fi ltering networks onto a 3.7 um thick GaAs 

membrane are presented. The double sideband measurements at 

room temperature on the 183 GHz sub-harmonic mixer yielded 

conversion loss and noise temperature of 4.9 dB and 608 K, 

respectively. The measured double sideband conversion loss and 

noise temperature of the 366 GHz mixer were 6.9 dB and 1220 

K, respectively. To the authors’ knowledge these are the best 

published results for sub-harmonic MMIC membrane mixers at 

these frequencies. 


Advanced Waveguide Probe Technologies 

for mm-wave and Terahertz Probing by 

Cascade Microtech 

More and more consumer 

devices are moving into 

the mm-wave and sub- 

Terahertz bands for applications, such as WiGig, automotive 

radar and imaging. The need for more data and higher quality 

measurements in a rectangular waveguide environment are critical 

for low-loss requirements and frequencies above the capabilities of 

coaxial connections. In this workshop, we will look at existing and 

new waveguide probes and techniques for making accurate and 

repeatable measurements into and beyond the sub-THz bands. 


X-Parameters with Active and Hybrid- 

Active Load Pull by Maury Microwave 

Corporation 

Nonlinear measurements have 

become one of the hottest 

topics over the past two 

years with the release of new 

measurement and modeling techniques. One modeling technique 

is referred to as behavioral models and has been made popular 

by Agilent’s X-Parameters. While X-Parameters alone are suffi cient 

for 50Ω devices operating in a 50Ω system, it has been proven 

that X-Parameters with load pull (non-50Ω terminations) are 

necessary for unmatched transistors and components that will be 

placed into non-50Ω environments. While automated mechanical 

impedance tuners can be used to create non-50Ω load conditions, 

active and hybrid-active load pull systems can be used to simplify 

the measurement setup. This presentation investigates non-50Ω 

X-Parameters with an emphasis on X-Parameters with active and 

hybrid-active load pull. 


Pulsed IV and Pulsed S-Parameter 

Parametric Analysis with the PNA-X by 

AMCAD Engineering 

IV curves have been used for 

decades to understand the 

behavior and biasing conditions of active devices. Modern wide 

band-gap technologies such as Gallium Nitride (GaN) are pushing 

the envelope with testing requirements of hundreds of volts and 

tens of amps, not normally available in traditional parametric 

analysis systems. Additionally, since these devices tend to self-heat, 

narrow pulse widths are mandatory to obtain quasi-isothermal 

operating conditions. AMCAD Engineering, in conjunction with 

Maury Microwave and Agilent Technologies, offer turnkey pulsed 

IV pulsed s-parameter measurement systems capable of voltages 

of 250V, currents of 30A and pulse widths down to 200nS, along 

with a software suite for transistor measurement, analysis and 

modeling. This presentation investigates parametric analysis 

requirements of GaN technology devices with specifi c regards to 

self-heating and trapping effects, and the proper confi guration of 

pulsed hardware.

SEMINARS 

Wednesday 31st October, 09:30 – 10:30 

Multi Technology Design in ADS 2012 and 

EMPro 2012 

This workshop will go over and explain the newly released multi 

technology design and simulation features implemented in the 

latest ADS releases (2011 and 2012). Attendees will learn how 

to set up a new workspace in ADS to perform Multi Technology 

FEM simulation on a whole module. The workshop uses various 

examples of typical IC chips placed in a package, bond wired and 

assembled onto a laminate/PC board for FEM simulation. The 

workshop will also illustrate the newly released side-by-side multi 

technology design and simulation in ADS 2012 using IC chips from 

different process technologies. 


MMIC Design Flow using ADS 2012 

Through a detailed 9-step ADS project, you’ll be exposed to all the 

latest features of ADS 2012 used in a complete MMIC design flow. 

Topics covered in this workshop: front-end design and simulation 

of a high yield MMIC LTE PA, design for manufacturing techniques, 

verification to wireless standards, generating X-parameter models, 

physical layout of the MMIC, 3D planar EM simulation and 

analysis, ADS Desktop DRC & LVS, Reticle generation, and FEM 

3DEM analysis of the whole module. 


A Novel Wideband DPD Measurement 

Platform 

Power amplifier linearization using digital pre-distortion (DPD) 

techniques is critical for designers transitioning 3G systems to 

3.9G and 4G. This paper introduces the concept behind digital 

pre-distortion and DPD measurement platform. A novel DPD 

measurement method is proposed in this paper. This method uses 

baseband input and PA output to extract DPD model. This method 

can linearize the full RF transmitter system (ADC, up-converter, 

pre-amplifier and power amplifier and etc) instead of only PA. 

Experimental test confirms the effectiveness of this novel DPD 

measurement method. 


Next Generation Very High Throughput: 

802.11ac WLAN MIMO Design and Testing 

Challenges 

The proliferation of Wireless LAN into new applications outside 

of email and browsing is driving a need for higher data rate 

throughput. New applications such as wireless display, HDTV 

streaming/distribution and rapid upload/download of data are 

driving two new IEEE WLAN standards requirements for very high 

throughput: 802.11ac for frequencies below 6 GHz and 802.11ad 

for the 60 GHz band. 

This paper shows how the system engineer can use system 

simulation to help understand the design performance and 

requirements needed to achieve transmitter system-level metrics 

such as EVM. Once hardware is available a combination of 

instruments like arbitrary waveform generator and scope with 

digital demodulation capability can be used to optimize the design 

performance. 


Using RF Recording Techniques to Resolve 

Wireless Channel and Interference Problems 

This paper discusses the problems associated with the modern 

wireless channel and RF recording techniques that can be used 

to capture minutes or hours of data for subsequent analysis. The 

user environment for wireless devices is complex and includes 

many sources of interference, be they the multitude of devices 

in the wireless landscape or other non-communications-based 

RF sources. As designers look to create robust solutions that can 

perform in such environments it becomes more important to create 

those conditions in the lab, or model those environments. 


Practical Considerations and Solutions 

for Temperature-Dependent S-Parameter 

Measurement for Accurate Parameter 

Extraction of Advanced RF Devices by 


Full temperature-dependent 

broadband device models 

are frequently essential 

for device utilization in today's multi-function designs, which 

encompass ever increasing sophistication. In addition, for 

many, device reliability and operating temperature range are 

key considerations. Of principle importance to the S-Parameter 

measurement from which the models are extracted is the calibration 

accuracy and long term stability. In this workshop, we will evaluate 

the temperature dependencies and causes for calibration drift in 

modern on wafer probing systems and probes. Practical methods 

to minimize and evaluate these variations will be discussed in 

conjunction with the WinCal XE calibration and measurement 

software. The changes seen in a selection of extracted model 

parameters due to temperature related calibration error will be 

also discussed. 


Seamless Integration of Agilent IC- 

CAP and Cascade Microtech WinCal 

XE for Accurate and Time-Efficient 

Characterization of Advanced RF Devices by 


This presentation will 

demonstrate how the 

device characterization and 

modeling software IC-CAP from Agilent Technologies and the RF 

calibration software WinCal XE from Cascade Microtech can be 

integrated into an advanced wafer-level RF device characterization 

system. This integration allows measurement and storage of device 

S-Parameters in an uncalibrated format and enables subsequent 

application of various calibration methods to the same device 

data-set and in both on-the-fly or offline modes.

EXHIBITOR WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS 


Noise Figure Measurement 

Speaker: Stefano Balzarini, Anritsu 

Along with gain, noise figure is one of the fundamental indicators 

of performance of amplifiers. A variety of methods have been 

utilized at RF and microwave frequencies, each with particular 

advantages and disadvantages. This session will describe the 

various techniques available for these frequency ranges. It will 

conclude with an exploration of the difficulties in making noise 

figure measurements at mm-wave frequencies and present a 

practical method along with results. 


Intermodulation Measurements at mm- 


Speaker: Ferdinand Gerhardes, Anritsu 

One of the challenges of making intermodulation measurements 

at mm-Wave frequencies has been the amount of bench space 

taken up by the extension modules required to produce the 

required mm-wave signals. This seminar will describe how to make 

swept intermodulation measurements based on the VectorStar 

Vector Network Analyzer using highly stable miniature frequency 

extension modules. 


Highly Stable Measurement of Broadband 

mm-Wave Devices 

Speaker: Barry Smith, Anritsu 

Participants will learn about the root causes of the stability issues 

that have arisen in the past when making broadband millimetric 

s-parameter measurements. The most recent solution will then 

be presented that addresses those root-cause issues and which 

demonstrates significantly improved measurement stability. This 

delivers benefits including longer intervals between measurement 

calibrations and better measurement results. 


Advances in On-wafer Device 


Speakers: Christian Sattler, Anritsu & Anthony Lord, Cascade Microtech 

There is a growing need for more precise on-wafer characterization 

of both two and four-port semiconductor devices up to 110GHz to 

enable accurate and complete device models to be constructed. 

Participants in this session will learn about a highly compact 

broadband vector network analysis system with configurations for 

both two-port and four-port on-wafer measurement to >110 GHz. 

Participants will also learn about probe technology enhancements 

that allow metrology grade modeling of two-port and four-port 

devices from DC to 110GHz and the recommended calibration 

techniques used to calibrate down to the probe tip. Calibration 

types covered will include: TRL/LRL/LRM, Advanced LRM,LRRM and 

Hybrid-LRRM 


Non-Linear Device Characterization 

Speaker: Steve Reyes, Anritsu 

In order to optimize power added efficiency, gain and noise figure, 

semiconductor devices must be characterized under the conditions 

in which they are expected to perform. In many communication 

amplifier cases, they will be operated in the non-linear region and 

the devices themselves will present non-fifty ohm impedances. 

In order to optimize design of matching circuits it is necessary 

to characterize such devices using a non-linear vector network 

analysis system that utilizes source and load impedance tuners. 

The test system architecture of such a measurement system will be 

described and compared with other methods. Practical results will 

also be presented. 


RCS & Antenna Measurements 

Speaker: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dirk Heberling, Institute of High Frequency 

Technology, RWTH Aarchen University 

This session is presenting applications of Anritsu 

Vector Star and a new vector network analyzer OEM product in line 

with antenna measurements. Attention will be given to the benefits 

of a new board that is mainly enhancing the system dynamic range 

and offers in parallel a price attractive solution. 

Dynamic range is an important figure of merit for antenna and 

radar cross section measurement technology, which is defined as 

the difference between the maximum and minimum detectable 

signal, i.e. difference between saturation and noise level of the 

measurement device. Long cables are sometimes a limiting factor 

since they reduce the dynamic range. The board will be used as 

a backbone for antenna measurements, in both near-field and 

compact ranges. Due to the small size and its light weight the new 

concept can be mounted directly on the positioner, i.e. very close 

to the antenna under test (AUT). This setup has the advantage of 

shortening cable lengths to supply the signal to the source antenna 

and the AUT.Furthermore costs due to cables and desktop VNAs 

are highly reduced. Even additional mixers, which are normally 

installed next to the AUT to increase the dynamic range of antenna 

measurement systems, can be omitted. 

In the case of radar cross section measurements, the shielded board 

can be installed next to the transmit and receive antennas, which 

permits even shorter cable lengths compared to the near- and far 

field measurement cases. In this work, experimental results will be 

presented showing the advantages of the new concept along with 

comparison results dealing with accuracy issues.

EXHIBITOR WORKSHOPS WORKSHOPS AND SHORT AND COURSES SEMINARS 


Extending the Frequency Range of 

Spectrum and Signal Analyzers to MM- 


Harmonic mixers are commonly used to extend the frequency 

coverage of spectrum and signal analyzers to frequencies above 

67 GHz. Their application is not straightforward and requires a 

good understanding of their working principle, their limitations 

and how to deal with multiple responses. 

This session discusses the basic operating principle of harmonic 

mixers, describes ways to eliminate multiple responses and 

illustrates the benefits of a high intermediate frequency, as used in 

the R&S®FSW, for many applications. 


Single-Connection Device Characterization 

Utilizing Vector Network Analyzers (SCDC) 

The workshop explains why single-connection device 

characterization is required in some application fields and how 

users can benefit from it in general. Typical linear and nonlinear 

measurements performed with a vector network analyzer are 

described briefly, and competitive single-connection setups based 

on an R&S®ZVA are shown and explained. In addition, calibration 

issues and suitable methods are discussed. 


Noise Figure Measurement with Vector 

Network Analyzers 

Using vector network analyzers for noise figure measurements 

has become a powerful and flexible method to characterize active 

devices. There are various techniques such as the Y factor method 

which can be applied to spectrum as well as network analyzers. 

This workshop presents an alternative method, first introduced by 

Rohde & Schwarz on the R&S®ZVA and R&S®ZVT vector network 

analyzers. A comparison of different techniques will be made, and 

details on the noise figure measurement technique including the 

test setups will be discussed.


On-Wafer Component Testing in the 

Millimeter Wave Range up to 500GHz 

In cooperation with Cascade Microtech 

As frequencies of interest 

expand into the millimeter 

wave range, more and 

more on-wafer component 

testing is required. This workshop explains measurement setups 

for continuous sweep up to 110 GHz and banded measurements 

up to 500 GHz, using the R&S®ZVA vector network analyzer in 

combination with R&S®ZVA-Zxxx frequency converters. The 

operating principle of a frequency converter is described as well 

as how to optimize the setup to achieve excellent measurement 

performance. In addition, suitable calibration techniques for onwafer 

measurements will be discussed. 


Basics of Modern Signal Generators 

In this session, the fundamental concept of an RF and microwave 

generator will be discussed. 

The attendee will learn how a signal with a constant output 

power is generated. Related to the concept of a modern signal 

generator, typical specifications as well as the realization of 

fundamental analog modulations will be discussed. 

The following topics are covered: 


• Fundamental synthesizer concepts of RF and microwave 

generators 

• How to achieve low phase noise and high output power 

• Fundamental specifications of RF and microwave 

generators 

• Principles of analog and pulse modulations 


Advanced Methods of Modern Signal 

Generators 

Setting a frequency on a signal generator should always be fast and 

accurate. This workshop will look at different synthesizer concepts 

fulfilling this task. The attendee will learn about the advantages 

and disadvantages of YIG- and VCO-based synthesizers. 

To set a specific low output power on a signal generator, an 

internal step attenuator is normally used, which should again be 

fast and accurate. Two different concepts will be shown in detail 

– the mechanical and the electronic step attenuator – as well as 

their advantages and limitations. 

The following topics are covered: 

• Advanced synthesizer concepts of RF and microwave 

generators 

• Comparison of YIG-based and VCO-based synthesizers 

• Challenges involved in low phase noise and high output 

power 

• High-performance analog and pulse modulations

Redefining RF and Microwave Instruments 

in PXI 

In the last decade, RF, microwave, and wireless test 

instruments have moved towards modular, software-defined 

instrumentation, providing faster measurement speed, broader 

instrument flexibility, and lower-cost measurement accuracy. 

In these workshops, real-world examples will be used to 

illustrate the driving force behind this industry trend. 


Maximizing Signal Analysis Performance 

using Latest Advances in FGPA Processing 

Today’s RF signal analyzers now come equipped with more signal 

processing power than ever before. This session will introduce 

a few of the basic techniques that can be used to maximize the 

performance of your RF and microwave instruments and introduce 

several of the unique capabilities of the latest PXI RF instruments, 

including continuous record and playback and real-time signal 

processing using LabVEW FPGA. 


Recent Advances in Microwave Frequency 

Synthesizers 

This session presents an overview of today's microwave frequency 

synthesizer technologies. Included are direct analog, direct digital 

and indirect architectures along with their main characteristics 

and performance trade-offs. The latest frequency synthesizer 

developments, new market demands, design challenges, and 

various solutions are discussed. 


Performing Accurate Network Analysis in 

Automated Test Environments 

Network analyzers have long been regarded as the instrument 

of choice for making the most accurate measurements. Today’s 

increased performance demands placed on RF components have 

placed vector network analyzers (VNAs) more and more not only 

validation labs, but also on the production line. Performing accurate 

S-parameter measurements in automated test environments brings 

with it a number of unique challenges – test fixtures are almost 

always used and some form of de-embedding must be performed 

in order to remove the test fixture from the measurement 

and isolate the device under test (DUT), time domain analysis 

becomes a valuable tool and making accurate pulsed S-parameter 

measurements is often required. This session discusses the latest 

industry tools and techniques to understand and account for this 

additional degree of complexity in the measurement process 


Integrating Measurements in the Design 

Flow 

As EDA software becomes increasingly integrated with graphical 

system design environments such as LabVIEW, the opportunity 

to use measurements to improve the accuracy of simulations is 

growing. In this presentation, we’ll provide an overview of how 

techniques such as model extraction are being used to enable 

engineers to model and simulate RF system level designs in the 

EDA environment. Here, we’ll explain fundamental approaches 

to model extraction, including the inclusion of AM-AM, AM-PM, 

and harmonics levels into the development of simulation-based 

models. 


LTE and 802.11ac Signal Processing with 

LabVIEW with AWR’s Visual System 

Simulator in Base Station PA Modeling 

Today’s wireless networks usher in digital modulation techniques 

that necessitate the need to stimulate amplifiers and other circuits 

with waveforms they actually process in service. This requires far 

tighter integration between the baseband signal processing and 

high-frequency circuit design tools as well as actual test equipment 

for both generating these modulated waveforms and evaluating 

their effects on the performance of the design. This presentation 

will highlight the benefits of linking AWR's Microwave Office 

and Visual System Simulator RF design tools with NI LabVIEW and 

NI modular test instrumentation such that design, verification, test, 

and debugging are streamlined across the entire signal chain.
