European Microwave Week 2009 continues the series of successful 

microwave events with its 12th Conference and Exhibition Week. 

From September 28th through October 2nd 2009 the event will be 

held, for the first time, in the wonderful city of Rome. EuMW has 

grown significantly over the years and is now the premier 

European event in the field of microwaves. 

The European Microwave Week consists of four conferences: 

• The 39th European Microwave Conference (EuMC) 

• The 4th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference 

(EuMIC) 

• The 6th European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 

• The 2nd European Wireless Technology Conference (EuWiT) 

In addition to the conferences, the Week provides the opportunity 

to attend various workshops and short courses given by leading 

experts in the field. Furthermore, the European Microwave 

Exhibition is a unique market place where the delegates can meet 

the main companies in the largest trade show on RF and 

microwaves in Europe. 

EuMW 2009 also offers a variety of very attractive side events. We 

have organised several special sessions, including: a celebration of 

the Nobel Prize for Physics that was awarded 100 years ago to 

Guglielimo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun in "recognition of 

their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy" and 

a celebration of the 40th anniversary of the European Microwave 

Conference. 

We also host a "Women in Engineering" event and a special 

competition, the "EuMW 2009 Student Challenge". 

The ambition of the 12th European Microwave Week 2009 is to 

"extend bridges". The unique geographical location of Rome 

makes this Week a strategic meeting point, to unite and grow, not 

only for those countries that have been established in this sector 

for many decades (such as the United States, Japan, and Western 

Europe), but also increasingly for many emerging regions (such as 

Eastern European countries, those in the Mediterranean and 

Middle East) and those Asian countries now in an advanced stage 

of development (such as China, Korea, and India). 

The four conferences specifically target ground breaking 

innovation in microwave research through a call for papers 

explicitly inviting the submission of presentations on the latest 

trends in the field, driven by industry roadmaps. The result is an 

exceptional number of papers (over 1,250) from all over the world, 

with a special contribution from Eastern Europe, the Middle East 

and Far East. 


WELCOME MESSAGES 

Welcome to the 12 th 

European Microwave Week 2009 

We also offer a very rich and exciting Partner Programme that 

provides the opportunity to visit unique historical and cultural 

sites both in Rome and the surrounding area. 

The location of EuMW 2009 is the Nuova Fiera di Roma. The venue 

is very close to Fiumicino Airport and to a railway station. 

connecting the Airport to the Main Termini Station. Hotel 

accommodation is available throughout Rome, particularly in the 

historical centre and along the B line of the subway. Bus 

transportation is provided from the hotels and from the subway 

terminus to the Nuova Fiera di Roma. 

We are proud to present the programme for EuMW 2009 which 

could not have been achieved without the valuable contribution of 

many enthusiastic colleagues in universities, industry, and research 

centres all over the world who have helped to organise this year's 

event in Rome. 

On behalf of the Local Organising Committee we would like to 

express our gratitude to the four international Technical 

Programme Committees and the hundreds of reviewers who 

worked hard to shape the record number of individual 

contributions to the final programme. 

Also, we wish to thank those who organised the special sessions, 

the focused sessions, the workshops and short courses, and the 

special events which we believe are essential to fulfilling the 

needs of delegates. 

Finally, it has been a great pleasure to cooperate with Horizon 

House. Their experience and support has again proved invaluable 

in guiding the chair and his team through all the steps of 

organising a challenging event. I would also like to thank Dr. 

George Heiter for his continuous support in handling the TPMS 

software which manages the paper submission and 

acceptance/rejection process. 

We are convinced that you will find the European Microwave 

Week 2009 unforgettable. We look forward to meeting you in 

Rome at the 12th European Microwave Week.

Welcome from the President 

of the European Microwave 

Association 


I am privileged to welcome you to the 12th European Microwave Week 

(EuMW), an initiative of the European Microwave Association (EuMA). 

The EuMA, a non-profit international organisation based in Belgium, is 

open to general membership of all microwave engineers from all over the 

world. The General Assembly, the highest governing body of the 

Association, gathers representatives from European countries, and also 

from North America, Asia Pacific and North Africa and the Middle East. If 

you are not a EuMA member yet, I encourage you to join. Among other 

benefits, such as discounted fees for attending the EuMW and EuMAsponsored 

conferences, you will have free on-line access to the 

International Journal on Microwave and Wireless Technologies, a recent 

joint initiative of the EuMA with Cambridge University Press. 

A number of coincidences occur this year. For the first time since its 

inception in 1998 the EuMW comes to Rome; the European Microwave 

Conference (the core event of the EuMW), returns to Rome after 22 years 

and celebrates its 40th anniversary, having started in London in 1969.This 

is also my last year as President of the EuMA. I therefore wish to take this 

opportunity to express my warmest thanks to many individuals (too many 

to be listed here), who have supported the Association and helped me 

over the years. Without their contribution and collaboration the EuMA 

could not have achieved so many impressive results. The EuMW, in fact, 

is firmly established as Europe's premier microwave, RF, wireless, and 

radar event, attracting some 1,500 delegates, with a record of over 1,250 

papers submitted, 4,500 visitors and a 7,500 m2 exhibition. This is the 

result of a very special collaborative work based, since the beginning, on 

enthusiasm and friendship among the members of the Board of Directors. 

Nevertheless, there is still considerable work to do, e.g. for the EuMA and 

the microwave community to be better represented within European 

research agendas. It is now time however that someone else leads the 

Association and I have the pleasure of introducing Professor Wolfgang 

Heinrich as the incoming EuMA President. Under his presidency the EuMA 

will continue to grow and will expand its activities for the benefit of the 

microwave community in the framework of international collaborations. 

While I am pleased to acknowledge the fruitful collaboration with the 

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

Association (co-sponsor of EuMIC) in creating this great event, I would 

like to conclude my welcome message by extending my sincere thanks to 

Paolo Lampariello, 12th EuMW General Chairman, Giuseppe Di Massa, 

TPC Co-Chair of the 39th EuMC, Fabio Filicori and Paolo Colantonio, TPC 

Co-Chairs of EuMIC 2009, Marina Ruggeri and Ernestina Cianca TPC Co- 

Chairs of EuWiT 2009, and Enzo Dalle Mese, TPC Chair of EuRAD 2009, 

for setting up four outstanding technical and scientific programmes for 

this memorable event in Rome. 

Roberto Sorrentino 

President 

European Microwave Association 

Message from the Incoming 

President of the European 

Microwave Association 

Having two welcome addresses in the President's column is 

an exception and may even prevent some from reading 

further. Hence, as the president-elect, I will keep my message 

short. 

Let me briefly introduce myself: I received my diploma and 

doctoral degrees from the Technical University of Darmstadt, 

Germany. For more than 15 years now, I have been head of 

the microwave department and vice director of the Ferdinand- 

Braun-Institut (FBH) in Berlin and since 2008 a professor at 

the Technical University of Berlin. In 2007, I served as General 

Chair of the European Microwave Week in Munich. Looking 

back, this was what brought me really close to EuMA and it 

proved to be a very valuable experience and preparation for 

my presidentship. 

With Roberto Sorrentino retiring as the president, also a 

change of generations is taking place: The EuMA founders 

hand over responsibility to their successors. I have to thank 

and congratulate Roberto for his very successful presidentship 

since 1998. Amongst others, this is evident from the European 

Microwave Week, which I am taking over as a prospering 

event, in a time of worldwide crisis. 

There are various challenges ahead, and as EuMA we have to 

respond to it. Elaborating on this would be beyond the scope 

of this welcome address. But as far as EuMW 2009 (and the 

following EuMWs) is concerned, my message is simple though 

not easy: I will do my best to keep EuMW lively and up-todate, 

as a high-quality conference, with a busy exhibition, and 

as the European event where the microwave community 

meets. 

Wolfgang Heinrich

Welcome to the 39 th EuMC 

Exactly 40 years ago, in September 1969, the opening ceremony of 

the 1st European Microwave Conference (EuMC) took place at the 

IEE, Savoy Place, London, promoted by Professor Peter Clarricoats 

and Chaired by Professor Harold Barlow. Following the third 

conference in Bruxelles in 1973 the EuMC became an annual 

event and is now celebrating its 39th edition in Rome 2009. We 

are most honoured and privileged to welcome you to what has 

become the most important and authoritative microwave and RF 

conference in Europe and which became part of European 

Microwave Week (EuMW) in 1998. 

An impressive number (843) of papers from 56 different countries 

from around the world have been received, the highest number 

ever submitted to the EuMC. This proves the extraordinary 

international significance and attractiveness of the European 

Microwave Conference. 

The technical programme will formally start with the Grand 

Opening of EuMW 2009 at 11:00 on Tuesday. In addition to two 

distinguished keynote speakers, the session programme includes 

the Award Ceremony, where the two major European Microwave 

Association (EuMA) awards will be presented: the EuMA 

Distinguished Service Award and the EuMA Outstanding Career 

Award. In addition to 73 technical sessions (13 of which are 

common to other EuMW conferences) and 14 workshops, covering 

the entire range of topics related to microwave technology, 

including antennas, a special historical session devoted to the 

40th anniversary of the EuMC has been organised for Wednesday 

at 16:10. This session not only celebrates this significant 

anniversary but is also the occasion to reassess the recent events 

that have led to the creation and impressive growth of European 

Microwave Week. 

This is not, however, the only anniversary worth celebrating during 

EuMC 2009. In fact, a hundred years ago, the 1909 Nobel Prize 

was awarded to two outstanding pioneers of wireless technology 

(this used to be called radio, but radio seems a little old fashioned 

today!), namely Guglielmo Marconi and Ferdinand Braun. On 

Wednesday at 14:00, a Special Session on the Centennial of the 

presentation of the Nobel Prize to Marconi and Braun will take us 

back to those fascinating early days of wireless technology. 

To reflect the rapid pace of development of microwave activities in 

the Asia Pacific region, which now contributes almost 15 per cent 

Maurizio Cicolani, 

Chair EuMC 2009 



Roberto Sorrentino, 

TPC Chair EuMC 2009 

of the paper submissions to the EuMC, a collaborative effort was 

initiated a few years ago 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 has been organised on 

Wednesday at 11:00. Three distinguished invited speakers from 

Korea, Japan and Singapore will enlighten us on the most 

advanced achievements in their respective fields of activity. 

While microwave activities are booming in Asia Pacific, Europe still 

doesn't seem to have properly acknowledged the simple fact that 

microwave and RF has become a highly pervasive technology that 

affects our everyday life. In response to this, the European Radio 

and Microwave Interest Group (EuRaMIG) has been launched as a 

network of companies, institutes and universities in Europe to 

focus on common visions and objectives in microwave technology. 

Following the great success of the EuRaMIG workshop organised 

in Amsterdam in 2008, on Monday afternoon the EuMA is pleased 

to host a second EuRaMIG Workshop entitled "Microwave for 

European Growth" aimed at providing an overview of the 

European microwave technology roadmap, its application 

scenario, and its relevance to European society. 

We are also happy to continue some initiatives successfully 

launched last year in Amsterdam. The Student Challenge 

Competition will take place during the Thursday lunch break: the 

participating students will present their posters based on ideas 

inspired by the papers presented during EuMW. The competition is 

entirely organised by PhD students and the best presentation will 

be awarded the EuMW2009 Student Challenge Prize, sponsored 

by Thales Nederland and valued at € 1,500. For the full programme 

see page 23. 

The EuMC Programme will be concluded, as customary, on 

Thursday afternoon with the Closing Session, which includes two 

invited lectures and the award ceremony for the EuMC Microwave 

Prize and the two EuMC Young Engineers Prizes. 

We would like to conclude our welcome address by expressing our 

sincere thanks to the TPC members and to the reviewers who have 

spent a lot of their valuable time in the difficult task of selecting 

the papers and setting up a very exciting technical programme for 

the 39th European Microwave Conference. We wish you a 

productive and exciting EuMC in Rome 2009. 

Giuseppe Di Massa, 

TPC Co-Chair EuMC 2009

Welcome to EuMIC 2009 

We are very pleased to welcome you to the 2009 European 

Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC) Conference in Roma. The 

conference is chaired this year by Massimo Claudio Comparini and 

Ernesto Limiti as Co-Chair. The EuMIC is the successor of the wellknown 

GAAS application symposium, which was first held in 

Rome in 1990. 

Since 2007 the conference is organised under the umbrella of both 

the European Microwave Association and GAAS® Association. We 

have an outstanding technical programme this year with more 

than 100 technical papers coming from a selective selection 

process. The papers are distributed across more than 20 sessions, 

scheduled for Monday and Tuesday within the European 

Microwave Week. During the rest of the Week there will be a 

number of workshops and short courses to build the traditional 

complete offer of the conference. A significant number of sessions 

and workshops are joint sessions with the European Microwave 

Conference (EuMC) and the European Wireless Technology 

(EuWiT) Conference, indicating the strong interaction between 

these conferences. 

We are proud to announce particularly eminent opening and 

closing sessions with very honourable speakers from academia 

and Institutions. 

Dr. Saggese, Commissaire of Italian Space Agency, and Admiral 

Flagiello will open the conference with a discussion on how 

microwave technologies are crucial for today's space systems and 

dual use applications. Prof. Mishra from UCSB will conclude the 

opening with an overview of the recent progress in AlGaN/GaN 

HEMTs as well as the potential in alternate planes of GaN over the 

conventional Ga-plane. 

In line with conference tradition, the programme is of great 

interest both for industry and academia, with a large number of 

sessions ranging from basic process and device physics to 

integrated circuit theory based on different compounds in a 

number of different application domains. 

Massimo Claudio Comparini, 

Chair EuMIC 2009 

Ernesto Limiti, 

Co-Chair EuMIC 2009 


The closing session is introduced with two very interesting 

speeches on the GaN HMET reliability physics-based approach 

from Prof. Zanoni, Prof. Meneghesso and the University of Padova 

team and from Dr. Barnes of ESA-ESTEC concerning reliability 

status today and the path ahead for space applications. The 

traditional Foundry Round Table Discussions, organised by the 

GAAS® Association, will see the contribution of selected 

European and non-European foundries to address from their 

perspective the new trends in the area of Microwave and Mm- 

Wave Integrated Circuits. 

Finally, to acknowledge the high quality of papers presented at 

EuMIC2009, the technical programme committee of EuMIC and 

the general assembly of the European Microwave Association will 

be awarding a Best Paper Prize and a Best Student Paper Prize. 

These winners will receive a plaque commemorating their 

achievements. In addition the GAAS® Association will provide the 

usual 3 Student Fellowships to recognise the work of valuable 

students and to support them in the first steps of their technical 

and scientific career. 

Together with the other conferences, we have planned several 

social events and some interesting tours to venues in and around 

the Eternal City. See pages 24 and 25 for more information. 

We would like to thank all of the people involved in the 

organisation of this event, in particular the EuMW General Chair 

Paolo Lampariello and his team, the organisers of the other 

conferences, the EuMIC TPC members, all reviewers, presenters of 

the invited talks, the workshop organisers and finally all people 

who submitted papers to this conference. Their combined efforts 

result in an outstanding event with an interesting, varied and 

exciting programme. Final thanks to Prof. Vito Monaco, honorary 

President of GAAS® Association, who always has a close 

involvement throughout the year in preparation for this important 

event. 

We are looking forward to seeing you in Roma, the Eternal City, 

and wish you an enjoyable and productive stay.

Welcome to EuRAD 2009 

It is my pleasure, as conference chairman, to welcome you to the 

6th European Radar Conference (EuRAD 2009) being held in Roma 

as part of the European Microwave Week (EuMW). EuRAD started 

six years ago thanks to a wonderful idea of our Dutch colleagues 

and friends from IRCTR and Delft University and in particular to 

the determination of prof. Leonard Ligthart. Since then, EuRAD has 

grown into one of the largest European and worldwide recognised 

radar events, both in terms of quality (guaranteed by a rigorous, 

peer review of a substantial abstract) and of quantity: in fact, the 

number of proposed contributions has steadily increased during 

six years. This year, in spite of the present international financial 

crisis, we have received 189 submissions to this conference, with 

more than 18% increase with respect to the very successful 

EuRAD 2008 edition. EuRAD submissions are now about 15% of 

the whole EuMW, making this conference the second largest of 

the EuMW and with an increase of its duration of more than two 

full days. The accepted papers are organised into twelve oral 

sessions plus four Focused Sessions and one common session 

EuMC/EuRAD (summing up to eighty-three podium 

presentations), complemented by a poster session. Moreover, five 

invited papers of wide interest are presented in the Opening and 

Closing sessions. This year, I feel that the strong reduction in the 

number of parallel sessions will enhance the benefit for the 

attendees. The programme covers a wide range of radar topics 

including Radar Subsystems and Technology, Signal Processing, 

Design and Evaluation, Systems and Applications; two focused 

sessions are dedicated to Space Radars and their Environmental 

Remote Sensing applications, one to Space-Time Adaptive 

Processing and one to Passive Radar, while the common session 

with EuMC is dedicated to through-the wall radar imaging. In 

addition to that, the programme includes other "hot" topics such 

as ultra wide band radar, multilateration, interception/analysis of 

radar signals, new radar waveforms and OFDM radar, sea and 

OTH radar, phased arrays and more, with a wide and updated 

overview on the most recent advances in radar technology and 

applications. 

In the opening session a discussion by General Vincenzo 

Camporini on Compatibility of Frequencies in the Italian Defence 

and Civilian Environments will be complemented with a 

presentation by Dr. Marina Grossi of the Advances in Radar 

Systems by SELEX Sistemi Integrati and by the analysis by Prof. 

Piet van Genderen of Recent advances in radar waveforms, 

including those with communication capability. At the closing 

Gaspare Galati, 

Chair EuRAD 2009 



Enzo Dalle Mese, 

TPC Chair EuRAD 2009 

session the presentations will focus on the future radars 

procurement for the Italian Ministry of Defence, by General Pietro 

Finocchio, and on the status, results and perspectives of the Italian 

Earth Observation SAR COSMO-SkyMed, by Dr. Francesco 

Caltagirone. 

The conference programme is completed with 4 workshops: 

Advances in UWB Localisation and Sensing (joint EuMC/EuRAD); 

Understanding High Resolution SAR Images; 

Imaging Radars in Earth Observation: Techniques and 

Applications; 

Advanced Radar Techniques (joint EuRAD/EuMC). 

The conference will be held from Wednesday to Friday in the 

Nuova Fiera di Roma where the delegates can access the largest 

European microwave exhibition. On Thursday evening they are 

invited to a Chamber Music (Trio) Concert in Piazza Navona at the 

church of S. Agnese in Agone, designed by Borromini. This musical 

event, with some of the best Italian players, is jointly sponsored by 

the University of Rome "Tor Vergata"- Centro V. Volterra and 

Associazione V. Volterra, and by the Rheinmetall Italia SpA, Rome. 

Two EuMA Radar Awards sponsored by Raytheon will be 

presented at the closing session of the EuRAD conference. The 

Radar Prize of € 3,000 is awarded to the paper that best advances 

the state-of-the-art in radar. The Young Engineer Prize of € 2,000 

is awarded to a young engineer or researcher who has presented 

an outstanding paper at the conference 

Finally, I express my sincere thanks to the authors for submitting 

their papers and presenting their results, and to the reviewers for 

their thorough and timely evaluation. I wish to thank the invited 

speakers, the organisers of the focused sessions and (last but not 

least) the organiser of the workshops. The hard work by the TPC 

Chairman, Enzo Dalle Mese and all the members of Sub- 

Committees and of TPC, for selecting the best papers and 

organising them into suitable sessions is gratefully acknowledged. 

I also thank Raytheon and Rheinmetall for their sponsorship. A 

particular thankyou is due to the EuMA and to all the members of 

the excellent EuMW 2009 team who, tirelessly, provided so much 

assistance and support in organising the conference. 

Together with the TPC chairman and with all our colleagues of the 

Technical Programme Committee, I wish you a truly enjoyable, 

fruitful and successful stay in Roma.

Welcome to EuWiT 2009 

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the EuWiT 2009 being 

held in Rome, Italy on Sept. 28-29, 2009. The European Wireless 

Technology Conference EuWiT (formerly known as European 

Conference on Wireless Technology-ECWT) is an integral part of 

European Microwave Week and is a forum for the presentation 

and discussion of new developments in the field of wireless 

communication technologies. 

A very interdisciplinary competence is needed today to meet the 

challenges of the emerging generation of wireless 

communications. Although it is recognised that new wireless 

technology must be developed to meet requirements of wireless 

communications systems beyond 4G, it is also true that the 

extensive application of wireless technologies (such as WLAN, 

Cognitive Radio, UWB, Wireless Ad-hoc Networks, RFID, Local 

Positioning, Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting) in many new 

and different fields (from automation to transportation and to 

biomedical applications) has posed new challenges and a more 

interdisciplinary research strategy is needed. EuWiT event will 

bring together researchers and product developers from all over 

the world to update and share their knowledge. 

It starts on Monday morning with regular sessions. The opening 

session takes place on Monday afternoon. Prof. Prasad will open 

the session with a speech on: "Convergence: A step towards 

unpredictable future", which will discuss the convergence of 

networks and access technology that is taking place as 

counterpart of the divergence in the applications. Dr. Raviola will 

Gabriele Falciasecca 

Chair EuWiT 2009 

Mario Frullone 

Co-Chair EuWiT 2009 


then talk about "SDR technology for high capacity and 

interoperable BMS systems". Among the podium sessions, one 

focused session is foreseen on "Infocity: information management 

and networking solutions for the city of the future". This focused 

session aims to recognise what is rapidly transforming into a huge 

digital social network spreading across the urban environment 

and to set the goal to provide the technology for the creation of 

"Information Cities". 

EuWiT will be closed on Tuesday afternoon with two invited 

speeches: "Satellite Role in Emergency Services" from Prof. E. Del 

Re and "Spectrum Management for Future Generation Wireless 

Based Technology" from Dr. Ashok Chandra. During the week we 

will have the occasion of remembering the work of two pioneers 

of the radio, G. Marconi and F. Braun, who received the Nobel Prize 

just one hundred years ago. 

We take the opportunity of thanking the Technical Programme 

Committee (TPC) members, the invited speakers, session 

organisers, session chairpersons, reviewers, authors and last but 

not least the sponsors in organising such an event. 

In addition to the exchange of new ideas on wireless 

communications, the EuWiT 2009 provides you the opportunity to 

make new friends and renew the friendship with old friends. It also 

gives you the wonderful opportunity to see Rome, an 

extraordinary city for newcomers and usual visitors, so we look 

forward to meeting you in Rome personally.

Hans L. Hartnagel (Prof. Dr. Eng. Dr. honoris causa mult. H. L. 

Hartnagel; F. IEEE; F. InstP) received the Dipl.-Ing. Degree in 1960 

from the Technical University of Aachen, W. Germany, and the 

Ph.D. and the Dr. Eng. Degrees from the University of Sheffield, 

England, in 1964 and 1971, respectively. After having worked for 

a short period with the industrial company Telefunken in Ulm, W. 

Germany regarding research and development of microwave 

tubes, he joined the Institute National des Sciences Appliquées, 

Villeurbanne, Rhône, France, and then the Department of 

Electronic and Electrical Engineering of the University of Sheffield 

as a member of staff. In January 1971, he became Professor of 

Electronic Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, 

England. Since October 1978, he has been the Professor of High 

Frequency Electronics at the Technical University of Darmstadt, 

Germany. He is the author of several books and numerous 

scientific papers on microwave semiconductor devices, and their 

technology and circuits. He has held many consulting positions, 

partly while on temporary leave of absence from his University 

positions. 1991 he received, together with Prof. H. Hasegawa of 

Hokkaido University in Japan, the Max-Planck Prize of the Max- 

Planck Society in Germany for their joint contributions on surface 

and interface technology of compound semiconductor materials. 

In Dec. 1994 he was awarded the Dr. honoris causa from the 

University of Rome "Tor Vergata" in ltaly, and in 1999 the Dr. 

honoris causa from the Technical University of Moldova, Kishinev. 

His present research concerns III-V semiconductors, their devices 

(design, technology and characterisation) and in particular MEMS, 

THz integration and mm-wave 

sensors. He became an Emeritus 

Professor in 2002 at the 

Technical University Darmstadt, 

Germany. He is active in a 

number of his externally funded 

projects under which he is able 

to employ research assistants.

The International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies, 

first published at the beginning of 2009, is a new journal 

published six times a year. The journal has been created by the 

EuMA and Cambridge University Press to reinforce the presence of 

Microwave research, both European and international, in scientific 

and technical literature. It will also allow academic and industrial 

researchers to promote their work and stay connected with the 

most recent developments in Microwave and RF technology. 

Following the successful experience of EuMW 2008 the Journal 

will again publish a special issue dedicated to European 

Microwave Week 2009. The special issue will be guest edited by 

Paolo Lampariello and Roberto Sorrentino and 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.

Women in Engineering 

Tuesday, 17:50 - 19:10, room Domizia 

The EuMW 2009 WIE team organises a special debate on the topic: 


"Women in engineering, 

experience teaches.... what?" 

The debate will try to cope with questions related to the way 

women perform within their engineering profession. Questions the 

invited speakers have been asked to tackle are, e.g. 

1. Is a woman’s way of working different from a man's way of 

working? In other words, do the differences between people's 

work occur as a result of gender diversity or from a 

single person's skills? 

2. Are there gender barriers in the technical professions? 

If so, how can we help remove them? 

3. What advice can be given to a woman beginning her career 

in a man's world? 

On the whole, the speakers refer to their personal experiences, 

helping to deepen our knowledge and awareness of gender 

differences in our working environment. 

Firstly, Dr. Anne Marie Bruyas will introduce the work developed 

and the results obtained by the EU funded GAPP project on the 

relationship between youth and the techno-scientific world. The 

work has been carried out by seven partners from six different 

countries, beginning with qualitative research with focus groups 

(divided by students, parents and teachers) and in-depth 

interviews, plus experimental and educational activities. 

SPECIAL CONFERENCE EVENTS 

Dr. Anna Maria Fiorello will continue with a talk about her 

experience as the Head of Microelectronics & Photonics Unit in the 

R&D Department in SELEX Sistemi Integrati, and in general as a 

woman in Engineering, focusing on gender differences in the 

attitude towards technical work. 

Last, but not least, Dr. Emilie van Deventer will introduce us to her 

experience working in the academic world as a professor of 

engineering and in the World Health Organisation heading the 

WHO International Electromagnetic Field Project. 

Finally, the EuMW Welcome Reception after this session will be a 

pleasant opportunity to continue to exchange ideas and socialise.

EuMW 2009 Student Challenge 

The 2008 Week in Amsterdam achieved the implementation of the 

theme 'bridging gaps' by building bridges between researchers from 

both university and industry.The Student Challenge brought to life this 

new concept and created a spirit of enthusiasm by bringing together 

both young and senior researchers.The Student Challenge, provided as 

a regular poster session, proved amazingly popular with such a large 

attendance of delegates that the whole area was crowded. 

The EuMW 2008 Student Challenge gathered participants from all 

sides of the world, as a testimony to the international appeal of the 

of the European Microwave Week. Countries represented included 

Germany, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, The Netherlands, 

Sweden, Czech Republic, but also as far a field as the USA, South 

Korea, Canada, Japan and Australia! Researchers that had never met 

before composed some teams, while some teams were formed by 

groups from the same university. A strong interaction was 

established between all participants both during the dedicated social 

event and in all other moments of the Student Challenge. 

For the second time in the history of the European Microwave Week, 

students are offered the opportunity to participate in the EuMW 

2009 Student Challenge.This competition aims to stimulate technical 

and application-oriented innovation in students and young 

researchers. Moreover, it promotes active participation, team work, 

networking and key elements in all working environments. 

The EuMW 2009 Student Challenge is a competition running 

throughout EuMW 2009. The value of the prize is 1500 euro, 

sponsored by Thales Nederland. Teams of participating students aim 

to achieve a novel application-oriented concept from oral 

presentations and posters contributed to the conferences belonging 

to EuMW 2009. In addition, all participants are invited to a student 

evening event. The final stage and result of the competition includes 

the preparation and defence of a poster by each team to explain and 

clarify the novel concept developed during EuMW 2009 by each 

team.The posters are presented to the technical jury and audience in 

a Poster Session. The technical jury, composed by eminent members 

of academia and industry, evaluates the posters and selects the 

winning team that will receive the EuMW 2009 Student Challenge 

Prize. All PhD and Master students registered to any of the EuMW 

2009 conferences are eligible to participate in the Student Challenge. 

A detailed schedule, participation rules, and winning criteria are 

distributed in advance to the participants by email, and are available 

at the Student Challenge registration desk.

The New-Faces of GaN 

Umesh Mishra, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA 

AlGaN/GaN HEMTs have demonstrated tremendous potential and progress over the 

past decade has made it the compelling choice for applications from C-Band to Ka- 

Band. However, progress in this materials system and device technology is far from over. 

The alternate planes of Gallium Nitride such as The N-plane and the M-plane offer 

advantages over the conventional Ga-plane. The reversed polarization of the N-face 

allow us to form HEMTs which are inverted but with all the advantages of the inverted 

structure such as enhanced charge control and low ohmic contacts without the 

disadvantages such as enhanced parallel conduction or reduced modulation efficiency 

seen in conventional materials systems. The lack of polarization of the M-plane offers 

the possibility of enhancement-mode operarion. In this talk I will summarize the stateof-the-art 

of Ga-face HEMTs and show the promise of these alternate faces of GaN. 

Umesh Mishra received his B.Tech degree form IIT Kanpur, INdia, M.S. from Lehigh 

University and PhD from Cornell University. He is Professor of Electrical and Computer 

Engineering at UCSB. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and Member of the US National 

Academy of Engineering.

Convergence: A Step towards Unpredictable Future 

Ramjee Prasad, Director of Center for Teleinfrastruktur (CTIF), 

Aalborg University, Denmark 

This talk presents the main conclusions that can be drawn by the discussions on Future 

Communication Systems and lessons on Unpredictable Future of Wireless 

Communication Systems. Future systems beyond the third generation are already under 

discussions in international bodies, such as ITU, WWRF and R&D programmes worldwide. 

The incoming era is characterized by the convergence of networks and access 

technology and the divergence of applications. Future mobile communication systems 

should bring something more than only faster data or wireless internet access. 

Professor Ramjee Prasad is currently the Director of Center for Teleinfrastruktur (CTIF), 

and holds the chair of wireless information and multimedia communications. He is 

coordinator of European Commission Sixth Framework Integrated Project MAGNET 

Beyond (My personal Adaptive Global NET Beyond). He was involved in the European 

ACTS project FRAMES (Future Radio Wideband Multiple Access Systems) as a project 

leader. He is a project leader of several international, industrially funded projects. He has 

published over 700 technical papers, contributed to several books, and has authored, 

coauthored, and edited twenty books. His latest book is "Introduction to Ultra 

Wideband for Wireless Communications".

SDR Technology for High Capacity and Interoperable BMS 

(Battle Management Systems) Systems 

Annamaria Raviola, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development of 

Selex Communications, Italy 

Software-Defined Radio (SDR) is an innovative paradigm to manage wireless 

communications, where the main radio parameters (RF bandwidth, modulation scheme, 

channel coding, etc) are completely defined in software and can be redefined by new 

software load. 

In a SW Defined Radio (SDR) each communication will be performed by executing on 

the same platform the relevant SW application (waveform), not depending on the HW 

implementation. This allows a single SDR system to support several communications 

that are provided today by different dedicated systems.The operational requirements for 

future military operations require the integration of command, control, computer, 

communications and intelligence (C4I) systems into combat vehicles. This in turn makes 

the success of the battle management system rely heavily on the bandwidth of tactical 

and combat net radio solutions. The actual trend of military telecommunications 

towards SDR radio devices represents the technological answer to such challenging 

requirements. 

Mrs. Annamaria Raviola is graduated in Mathematics and has a Master Degree in 

International Technology Management. She has got more than 20 years background in 

military and professional communications systems covering positions with high 

responsibilities, getting a wide expertise in the field of communications solutions for 

Defence and Homeland Security markets. She is presently Senior Vice President of 

Marketing and Business Development of Selex Communications.

Microwave Technology, a Key Factor for Success in the 

Aerospace and Defence Industry 

Pier Francesco Guarguaglini, Finmeccanica, Italy 

Electronics is one of the strategic pillars of Finmeccanica and will account for 

nearly forty percent of total revenues in 2009. However, besides numbers 

quality and tradition must also be considered. Within the Finmeccanica Group 

there exists excellence in all the major sectors of electronics, ranging from 

microelectronics and microwaves to radar and communications. The challenges 

proposed by these technologies are manifold. Requirements in microelectronics 

are more and more demanding, in order to reduce weight and dimensions while 

enhancing performance. Moreover, microwave technologies are expanding their 

fields of application enormously, e.g. to the space domain. Finally, radars and 

communication systems are pushing towards wider wavebands and faster 

responses. A common and interesting feature of these technologies is that all of 

them have more and more a dual use, which makes them a fundamental 

industrial asset for subjects like Finmeccanica, operating both in defence and 

civil business.

Seeing the Unseen: What Can We Learn From 

Polarization-Sensitive Eyes in Nature and How Can We 

Design Better Imaging Systems? 

Nader Engheta, University of Pennsylvania, USA 

Certain animal species in nature have visual systems that are sensitive to light's 

polarization - a capability that is lacking in the human eyes. Understanding the 

biophysical mechanism behind the polarization vision and reverse engineering 

its functionality leads to exciting novel methods and techniques in sensing and 

imaging. Motivated and inspired by the features of polarization-sensitive visual 

systems in nature, in our group we have been developing various man-made, 

non-invasive imaging methodologies, sensing schemes and visualization and 

display schemes with useful applications in the optical and microwave domains. 

These techniques provide better target detection, enhanced visibility in 

otherwise low-contrast conditions, longer detection range in scattering media, 

polarization-sensitive adaptation based on changing environments, surface 

deformation-variation detection, "seeing" objects in shadows, and other novel 

outcomes and applications. In this talk, I will discuss several optical aspects of 

the biophysical mechanisms of polarization vision, and present sample results 

of our bio-inspired imaging methodologies. 

Nader Engheta is the H. Nedwill Ramsey Professor of Electrical and Systems 

Engineering, and Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania, 

USA

Long-Term Stability of Gallium Nitride High Electron Mobility 

Transistors: a Reliability Physics Approach 

Enrico Zanoni, University of Padova, Italy 

Several groups have demonstrated nitride-based High Electron Mobility Transistors with 

excellent RF output power, with a constant increase in performances. However, despite 

the large efforts spent in the last few years, and the progress in MTTF values, reliability 

of GaN HEMTs and MMICs still has to be fully demonstrated, due to the continuous 

evolution of adopted processes and technologies, and to the lack of information 

concerning failure modes and mechanisms. The role of temperature in promoting GaN 

HEMT failure is still controversial, and the factors accelerating degradation are still 

largely unknown. The talk will propose a methodology for the analysis of failure modes 

and mechanisms of GaN HEMTs, based on the extensive characterization of deep levels 

using Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy and pulsed measurements, on the detailed 

analysis of electrical characteristics, and on comparison with two-dimensional device 

simulations. Results of failure analysis using various microscopy and spectroscopy 

techniques will be presented and failure mechanisms observed at the high electric field 

values typical of these devices will be reviewed. 

Enrico Zanoni is Professor of Digital Electronics at the University of Padova, Department 

of Information Engineering. His research activity is in the general area of 

microelectronics, with focus on electronic and optoelectronic devices design, modeling, 

characterization and reliability, on the study of compound semiconductors and widebandgap 

materials (SiC, GaN) and devices (GaN HEMTs, LEDs), on the applications and 

reliability of Light Emitting Diodes and semiconductor lasers. He is co-author of 165 

journal and 159 conference papers and a IEEE Fellow (Electron Devices Society).

Satellite Role in Emergency Services 

Enrico Del Re, University of Florence, Vice-President of CNIT (Italian Interuniversity Consortium for Telecommunications), Italy 

This paper deals with a Satellite-Assisted LocalIzation and Communication systems for Emergency services (SALICE) Project. It aims at 

identifying the solutions which can be adopted in an integrated reconfigurable NAV/COM device and studying its feasibility in realistic 

scenarios. The first goal of the SALICE project is the definition of the baseline scenarios and system architecture which will allow the 

design of new and effective solutions for integrated communications and localization techniques, Software Defined Radio (SDR) 

NAV/COM devices, satellite and HAPS integration in the rescue services, heterogeneous solutions in the area of intervention (IAN, 

Incident Area Network). Particular attention will be devoted to the optimization of the resources management strategies and to the 

cooperative localization of rescue entities (persons and means) in emergency situations. 

Enrico Del Re is Professor at the Department of Electronics Engineering of the University of Florence since 1986. During the academic year 1987- 

1988 he was on leave from the University of Florence for a nine-month period of research at the European Space Research and Technology Centre 

of the European Space Agency, The Netherlands. His main research interest are digital signal processing, mobile and satellite communications, on 

which he has published more than 300 papers, in international journals and conferences. He is the Co-editor of the book Satellite Integrated 

Communications Networks (North-Holland, 1988), one of the authors of the book Data Compression and Error Control Techniques with 

Applications (Academic, 1985) and the editor of around five books. He has been the Chairman of the European Project COST 227 "Integrated 

Space/Terrestrial Mobile Networks" (1992-95) and the EU COST Action 252 "Evolution of satellite personal communications from second to future 

generation systems" (1996-2000). He has been the Chairman of the Software Radio Technologies and Services Workshop (2000),the Fifth European 

Workshop on Mobile/Personal Satcoms (2002) and the Satellite Navigation and Communications Systems (2006). He is the head of the Digital

Spectrum Management Issues in Relation to the Future Wireless Based Technologies 

Ashok Chandra, Wireless Advisor, Government of India, India 

Radio Spectrum is an essential raw material for most promising industries of the future. Many new technologies are emerging which require 

spectrum for faster growth and also the boundaries between new services are blurring.This has put a great pressure on radio frequency spectrum 

regulator for its efficient use. It is commonly believed that there is a crisis of spectrum availability but studies have shown that not all the spectrum 

is in use for all of the time i.e. there is no shortage of radio spectrum only lack of efficient management. The traditional command and control 

method of spectrum management does not lead to efficient spectrum. There are several challenges before spectrum regulator to meet the future 

demands of spectrum like interference Management, international coordination, maintaining balance between Harmonization versus Technology 

Neutrality etc. Recently there have been several proposals to overcome those limitations of legacy spectrum policies like Spectrum trading and 

liberalization, open spectrum and spectrum common but these steps could not fulfil the future demands.Therefore new spectrum management is 

essentially required. The objective of new spectrum management should be designed in such a way that it should meet the above challenges as 

well as it should be economically, technically efficient and at the same time protect the public interest also. 

Dr. Ashok Chandra joined the Wireless Planning and Coordination (WPC) Wing/Wireless Monitoring Organisation (WMO), Ministry of 

Communications & Information Technology, Government of India in 1977 through Indian Engg. Services. He has a technical experience of 

more than 31 years in the field of Radio Communications/Radio Spectrum Management and Radio Monitoring. Out of which more than 

7 years of experience in the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India, dealing with Technical Education 

matters of Indian Institutes of Technology, Indian Institute of Science, particularly their various research projects also in the areas of 

telematics/radio communications. He is Vice-Chairman of Study Group -5 of ITU-Radio Communication. As the Project Director, he 

implemented prestigious World Bank Project on National Radio Spectrum Management and Monitoring System (NRSMMS). This project 

includes automation of Spectrum Management processes and spectrum monitoring system.

Envelope Tracking Technique for Multimode PA Operation 

Bumman Kim, Jinsung Choi, Daehyun Kang and Dongsu Kim, Pohang University of Science and 

Technology, Pohang, Korea 

The realization of an Envelope Tracking (ET) transmitter supporting multi-standard applications is 

presented. The AB biased harmonic-tuned class-F (class-AB/F) power amplifier with the novel 

envelope shaping method linearly amplifies the input signal with high efficiency.The hybrid switching 

supply modulator with programmable hysteretic comparator enables the multi-mode operation, 

whatever the envelope signal characteristics such as the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) and the 

bandwidth are. The designed ET transmitter is fabricated with CMOS 0.13 µm technology and 

InGaP/GaAs 2 µm HBT process for the supply modulator and the power amplifier, respectively. For 

IEEE 802.16e m-WiMax signal, it shows a power-added efficiency (PAE), an average output power 

(Pout), and a gain of 34.3%, 23.9 dBm, 27.9 dB, respectively. At those power levels, without any predistortion 

techniques, it satisfies the overall spectrum emission mask specifications. The relative 

constellation error (RCE) and the error vector magnitude (EVM) for m-WiMax signal are -30.5 dB and 

2.98%, respectively. For a WCDMA signal, it presents a PAE, a Pout, and a gain of 46%, 29 dBm, and 

27.8 dB, respectively. For EDGE signal, it delivers a PAE of 45.3% at a Pout of 27.8 dBm with a gain 

of 29.4 dB. This is the first demonstration of the truly multimode operation of PA.

Razavi's Oscillator Theory Interpreted in RF Circuit Port Impedance 

Domain to Harmonize with Leeson's Sideband Noise Spectrum Model 

Takashi Ohira, Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan 

Noise in oscillators is an old and new issue. It yet sometimes confuses even professional engineers 

because oscillation itself is essentially an autonomous phenomenon. This paper addresses the 

theoretical progress on noise in oscillators from Leeson model to the latest. Starting with a blockdiagram 

model of positive feedback oscillators, we trace Razavi's formulation to confirm Leeson's 

sideband noise spectrum. We then consider a circuit- diagram model of negative-resistance diode 

oscillators, on which we take an analogous way to derive the formula of its sideband noise spectrum. 

We also extend the noise theory to field-effect transistor oscillators. Formulation proceeds on some 

basic topologies consisting of a transistor and a passive network that implies resonance and 

impedance matching functionalities. The resultant formula gives a persuasive answer to the question: 

what the Q factor of two-port networks should be from an oscillator's performance aspect. 

12:10 - 12:40 

Compact Interdigitated Microstrip Bandpass Filters with Meandered 

EBGs 

Arokiaswami Alphones and Jin Cheng, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 

A compact microstrip bandpass filter using interdigitated coupled and meandered electromagnetic 

bandgap (EBG) structures is proposed in this paper. It is a thin-film microstrip structure with meander 

EBG structure etched in the ground plane and interdigital capacitors in the signal strip, which 

contribute towards the series capacitance. In addition, the signal line fingers are shorted to ground 

by a via which generates the shunt inductance. The combination of series capacitor and shunt 

inductor is useful to realise the left-handed metamaterial and improve frequency selectivity. The filter, 

consisting two interdigital cells, has a central frequency of 4 GHz and a fractional 3 dB bandwidth of 

FWB = 26.75%. The reference level of return loss 20 dB is satisfactory while good insertion loss in 

passband of 0.08 dB at f0. The filter size is very compact with actual dimensions of 10.8x4 mm. 

Experimental results validate the theoretical predicted performance with two cell configurations.

Compatibility of Frequencies in the Italian Defence and Civilian Environments: Analysis and 

Perspectives of Radar Surveillance 

Vincenzo Camporini, CSMD of Italy 

The need for sharing between military and Civil use of the radio spectrum is becoming an important issue as the pressure on civil radio 

spectrum increases to meet the requirements of the new commercial services and the increasing military needs. New operational 

concepts in Military operations have a goal to ensure a permanent access in the spectrum of radio frequencies to meet vital military 

tasks based on strategies, doctrines and different policies that military forces adhere to. Combined and joint operations are still a major 

challenge for frequency managers. Spectrum management become significant to allow an efficient use of the nowadays scarce 

spectrum resource. 

Born in 1946, General Vincenzo Camporini joined the Air Force Academy in 1965. Designated Head of Division "Military Policy and 

Planning" of the Defence General Staff, he became in 2001 Deputy Chief of Defence General Staff, in 2004 President of the Italian 

Centre for High Defence Studies, in 2006 Chief of Staff of the Italian Air Force. On February 12nd 2008 he was appointed as Chief of 

Defence General Staff. He is a combat pilot with experience on 24 different aircraft. He earned University degrees in Aeronautical 

Sciences and International and Diplomatic Sciences. He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.

Advances in Radar Systems by SELEX Sistemi Integrati: Today and Towards the Future 

Marina Grossi, CEO, SELEX Sistemi Integrati, Italy 

SELEX Sistemi Integrati is constantly looking toward the future to reinforce its leadership in state of the art of radar systems.The strong 

position in the market has been achieved by delivering top radar performance in many fields of application, and based on the 

capability to manage the proper technology insertion in its legacy radar systems. For each radar product SELEX S.I. has identified the 

key technology components and has planned their development and insertion to take the right advantage from a well established 

radar knowledge. The same winning approach is now followed for the next generation of SELEX-SI radar systems. The paper shows 

how SELEX-SI has continuously developed technology and radar systems in the past, how it is delivering up to date solutions now and 

how it is preparing the new generation of radar systems by heavily investing in technology. In this field the focus will be on the new 

multifunction/multirole radar applications and on the technological capabilities that SELEX-SI is developing by taking advantage of its 

R&D facilities. 

Marina Grossi is CEO of SELEX Sistemi Integrati, a Finmeccanica company, leader in defence electronics, homeland security and air 

traffic control systems since the company's establishment in 2005. Ms. Grossi, a graduate in Electronic Engineering, previously held 

the position of Chairman and CEO of Alenia Marconi Systems (which evolved into SELEX Sistemi Integrati), and, for four years prior to 

this, the position of General Manager of MBDA Italia, both of which are Finmeccanica companies. 

12:10 - 12:40 

Recent Advances in Radar Waveforms, Including Those with Communication Capability 

Piet van Genderen, Delft University of Technology and IRCTR, The Netherlands 

New scalable and flexible waveforms offer a great number of new opportunities for object- or environment-tailored signal processing. 

The paper will discuss two classes of such flexible waveforms, i.e. the Phase Coded Modulation and the Linear Frequency Modulation. 

These waveforms may for instance be used for the benefit of scalable resolution, fast unambiguous Doppler assessment, two-channel 

code-orthogonality supporting to measure the full back scattering matrix in radar polarimetry, and message transfer in a network by 

radar. 

Piet van Genderen graduated in 1971 from the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands in information theory. He joined the 

National Aerospace laboratory (NLR) in Amsterdam in 1971, working on radar and processing for air traffic control. In 1979 he moved 

to Hollandse Signaalapparaten, now Thales. Since 1994 he also holds a chair on radar system design at the Delft University of 

Technology in The Netherlands. His current research interests are in the design of wide band, agile radar, in particular in the design of 

waveforms and algorithms for extracting object features from the received video.

Guglielmo Marconi: The 

Pioneer of Wireless 

Communication 

Gabriele Falciasecca and Barbara Valotti, 

Fondazione Guglielmo Marconi, Italy 

In 1909 Marconi was awarded the Nobel Prize in 

Physics. Although very young - he was thirtyfive-years 

old - he had proved how far his 

system of wireless telegraphy could work, from 

the first experiments carried out near Bologna, 

till the first commercial transatlantic service 

inaugurated in 1907. This successful path will be 

presented as well as some considerations on 

Marconi's legacy in telecommunications, onehundred 

years after his most prestigious award. 

14:55 - 15:40 

Ferdinand Braun: A Pioneer in 

Wireless Technology and 

Electronics 

Peter Russer, Technical University of Munich, 

Germany 

Ferdinand Braun (1850-1918) has been an 

extraordinary influential pioneer in wireless 

technology and has had a strong impact on the 

industrial development of wireless technology. 

Since 1898, he has conducted experiments in 

wireless telegraphy at the University of Strassburg. 

His most important contribution has been the 

introduction of the coupled resonant circuit, which, 

thanks to its low damping, enhanced the energy 

radiated by the antenna and facilitated long range 

wireless telegraphy. Besides numerous important 

contributions to wireless transmitter and receiver 

circuit technology, Ferdinand Braun has given other 

epoch-making contributions to electronics and 

wireless technology. In 1874 he discovered the 

rectifying action of a metallic point contact applied 

to a semiconductor crystal (whisker diode).With his 

experiments performed with sulphur-copper, 

Ferdinand Braun has been the first to report the 

rectifying action of a semiconductor barrier, 

marking the beginning of solid state electronics. In 

1897 he invented the cathode ray tube (Braun'sche 

Röhre) and realized the first cathode ray 

oscilloscope. Ferdinand Braun founded his own 

wireless telegraphy company, which later became 

"Braun-Siemes-Gesellschaft" and then merged 

with AEG. This resulted in the foundation of the 

"Telefunken" company. The activities of Ferdinand 

Braun have thus had a strong beneficial impact on 

the industrial development of wireless technology 

in Germany at the beginning of the 20th century.

Special Session on 40 Years of 

European Microwaves. What 

about the Future? 

Chair: Wolfgang Heinrich, Ferdinand Braun Institute 

16:10 - 16:15 


16:15 - 16:25 

A. Vander Vorst, European Microwave Association 

Introduction of the Session and of the Speakers, and 

some reminders about the first three European 

Microwave Conferences: London 1969, Stockholm 

1971, and Brussels 1973. 

16:25 - 16:35 

P. J. B. Clarricoats, Queen Mary University of 

London, UK 

The concept of a European Microwave Conference was 

developed before the first EuMC London 1969. Several 

actors have been instrumental. Some details on the first 

EuMC will be described. 

16:35 - 16:50 

F. Gardiol, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de 

Lausanne, Switzerland 

The EuMC organised in Montreux 1974 was the first 

EuMC of a yearly series. It was also the first in which a 

professional Organiser was involved. It was also the first 

one held together with an Exhibition. Putting together 

these new features necessitated a lot of efforts. 

16:50 - 17:05 

L. Ligthart, Delft University of Technology, The 

Netherlands 

In Bologna 1995,it was observed that the EuMC attendance 

was regularly decreasing and that the Exhibition was 

disappearing.Hence,the question rose:should it be stopped, 

or re-vitalized? The second option was chosen. Among 

others, it was decided to organise a yearly European 

Microwave Week, involving more than one Conference and 

an Exhibition. Setting up the first EuMW required a lot of

The Com Side of Things 

Peter Olanders, Ericsson, Sweden 

Flavia Iustina 

Wireless telecommunication continues to grow, in number as well in features and data 

rate. Here some of the major challenges are mentioned, with a focus on radio and 

microwave aspects. One of the most important requirements is cost effective 

implementation - necessary in order to reach a majority of the Earths population! The 

always present hypes around mobile communications as spectrum aggregation, 

beamforming, MiMo, software defined radio, cognitive radio, linearity, efficiency et 

cetera are addressed. Not to forget the passive side as the need of filters - always 

hampering cost effective implementation.

The Planck Mission 

Nazzareno Mandolesi, IASFBO-INAF, Italy 

The ESA Planck satellite dedicated to the study of the Cosmic Microwave Background 

(CMB) anisotropies carries on board two instruments: the Low Frequency Instrument 

(LFI) using HEMT-MMIC radiometers from 30 to 70 GHz and the High Frequency 

Instrument (HFI) based on bolometers from 100 to 857 GHz. Planck will contribute to 

the knowledge of the universe since the very early phase just after the Big Bang testing 

the theory of inflation and will give an answer to the mystery of the unknown dark 

matter and dark energy which constitute 96% of the total energy of the universe. The 

Planck polarized channels will have the chance to discover the stochastic field of the 

primordial gravitational waves. Planck is the third generation CMB space mission and 

the first and most important European cosmological project. 

Nazzareno Mandolesi is Director of the INAF "Istituto di Astrofisica Spaziale e Fisica

Harald Witschnig, NXP, Austria 

Abstract 

Contactless Technologies (from wireless communications, 

contactless smartcards to RFID) show already a strong influence on 

our daily life and will have an even stronger impact in future. They 

influence industrial processes, automotive and medical 

applications, life sciences and even life style. RFID has gained 

significant interest during the last years, as the potential of the 

technology is enormous, in particular when being combined with 

elements as sensors, security, ranging, new materials etc.. These 

elements enable this technology to go by far beyond the pure 

"Identification" terminology. Based on that high potential, RFID is 

seen as a candidate for the realization of completely ubiquitous 

"ad-hoc" wireless and ambient intelligent networks. 

At the same time it is essential to understand that the topic of RFID 

is a multidisciplinary and application specific one, which holds a 

variety of challenges for actual and future research. Aspects like 

globally valid standards and frequency bands, maximum 

achievable readrates in different applications, proximity of 

different materials as metals or bio-materials, achievable range, 

ultra-low power IC's, ultra low cost and finally security and privacy 

are to be mentioned. 

Therefore this workshop will discuss current research and latest 

developments of RFID technologies and systems. It will highlight 

innovative concepts for application specific design, challenges and 

achievements in IC design, localization and sensing techniques as 

well as multi-standard ability. Further, new materials and 

technologies for low-cost RFID's will be presented.

Abstract 

This workshop highlights the current research and development 

efforts in the design, the implementation and the packaging of 

frequency-agile RF devices and components based on tunable 

materials and micromechanical systems. It is aimed for 

reconfigurable RF-front-ends in particular for wireless 

communications.The workshop will cover all important topics from 

the material engineering process up to their application. It 

introduces different concepts for continuously tunable RF devices 

based on functional materials such as Barium-Strontium-Titanate 

(BST) and Liquid Crystals (LC). Therefore, one focus will be on the 

material engineering process, including material synthesis. Also 

switched devices namely RF-MEMS will be addressed. Another 

focus is on frequency-agile and switching components such as 

tunable phase shifters, tunable filters, tunable duplexers, adaptive 

matching networks, reconfigurable or frequency-agile antennas, 

electronically steered reflect-arrays and adaptive matched power 

amplifiers.

Nonlinear Noise Modelling and Large-Signal 

Low-Noise Microwave Circuit Design 

Organisers: 

Matthias Rudolph, Ferdinand-Braun Institut (FBH), Berlin, Germany 

Fabio Filicori, University of Bologna, Italy 

Abstract 

This workshop is focussed on recent developments in the field of 

nonlinear noise models and design techniques for low-noise 

microwave circuits which are intrinsically subject to large-signal 

operating conditions. In fact, many of the fundamental building 

blocks for the development of high-performance communication 

systems, like low-phase-noise oscillators, mixers or interferencerobust 

low-noise amplifiers, are subject to important noise 

generation phenomena which are strongly conditioned by the 

presence of large-amplitude signals. In such cases, normally 

characterized by periodic or almost periodic non-linear operation, 

noise modelling in electron devices becomes much more complex, 

in comparison with the linear steady-state case, since 

cyclostationary, instead of conventional, stationary equivalent 

noise sources must be considered in the device models or lownoise 

circuit design. 

In this workshop, after outlining the basics of noise generation in 

semiconductors and of numerical physics-based noise models, non 

linear, compact HBT and FET non-linear noise models will be 

described with examples of application to noise analysis in non 

linear microwave circuits. Design approaches for low-noise 

oscillators, mixers and amplifiers will also be presented and 

discussed.

Advanced Non-Linear Characterization of RF and Microwave Components 

Organisers: 

Giovanni Ghione, Polytechnic of Turin, Italy 

Andrea Ferrero, Polytechnic of Turin, Italy 

Abstract 

The modelling and characterization of nonlinear microwave 

devices and systems like power amplifiers, mixers and oscillators 

has been a hot topic during the last few years. The evolution of 

characterization techniques has opened the way to more refined 

modelling approaches, allowing for memory effects and complex 

device dynamics, while the progress in modelling framework has in 

turn stimulated the development of new and unconventional 

characterization techniques. At the same time, the increasing 

demand of multiport characterization has fostered the 

development of multi-port and differential load-pull measurement 

techniques. 

The purpose of the workshop is to present an overview of the state 

of the art in this field with contributions on recent developments 

from some of the top research groups operating in Europe and in 

the USA. 

The presentations will focus on advanced load-pull techniques, 

large-signal characterization in the presence of broadband signals, 

characterization and modelling of memory effects, not to mention 

the emerging topic of noise measurements in large-signal 

conditions.

Advanced Topics in Design and Realization of Microwave Filters 

Organisers: 

Giuseppe Macchiarella, Polytechnic of Milan, Italy 

Richard V. Snyder, RS Microwave, USA 

Abstract 

Modern communications systems require increasingly 

sophisticated microwave filters. Selectivity and miniaturization, 

combined with relatively low passband losses, are becoming a 

must in new systems. Thus, the designer is often required to 

compromise between several contrasting requirements. This 

workshop will present a comprehensive overview of recent 

advances in some of the most promising application area of 

microwave filters; innovative solutions concerning both design 

approaches and technological achievement will be presented.

Lucio Vegni, University of Rome 'Roma TRE', Italy 

Abstract 

The purpose of this Workshop is to point out and highlight the 

recent advances on the applications of Metamaterials and related 

concepts to Microwave Engineering. Since the "big-bang" of 

Metamaterials in 2000, there has been an intensive research 

activity towards the application of novel ideas inspired on the 

unique properties of Metamaterials in the field of microwave 

engineering and telecommunications. Thus, in the recent years, we 

have seen significant progress concerning microwave circuit, 

device and antenna design in terms of miniaturization, 

performance improvement, multi-functionality, efficiency, etc, and 

Metamaterial's Technology is progressively achieving a level of 

maturity in Microwave Engineering that "real-life" applications 

and "penetration" to the market may be envisaged. The workshop 

will cover the fundamental aspects concerning the design of 

microwave circuits, devices and antennas based on Metamaterials 

and related concepts, with special emphasis on the novel 

achievements by the speakers and their respective Groups in the 

field. Novel artificial lines and their microwave applications, 

transmission line Metamaterials, Metamaterial analog signal 

processing, tunable components, filters, electrically small antennas 

and impedance surfaces, among others, are the main topics. All the 

Invited Speakers have significantly contributed to the progress of 

Metamaterial's Technology applied to Microwave Engineering, and 

have international recognition at the highest level. Five books 

related to Metamaterials and complex media have been authored 

or co-authored by several of the workshop contributors. It is also 

the purpose of this workshop to discuss future trends and 

directions in the field.

Advanced Solutions for Signal Integrity in Densely Integrated High-Frequency Systems 

Organiser: 

Roberto Antonicelli, ST-Ericsson, Belgium 

Mauro Caule, ST-Ericsson, Belgium 

Abstract 

Design community is today challenged to find new ways to 

efficiently integrate different wireless communication systems into 

a small portion of space. The resulting mutual cross-coupling, 

emphasized by the close vicinity, may end up in fatal effects on one 

another wireless device. 

Currently available tools for simulation and modelling do not allow 

an easy and rational allocation and mapping of planar silicon 

devices into new constructions, thus limiting the speed and the 

accuracy in heterogeneous design phase. 

In this workshop, several authors from the industry will introduce 

and debate about advanced packaging, interference and crosscoupling, 

new techniques of analysis and modelling and co-design 

of silicon, package, PCB.

European Radio and Microwave Interest Group "EuRaMIG" Workshop 

Microwave for European Growth 

Chairman: Franz Dielacher, Infineon Technologies Austria AG 

Background 

RF/microwave technology is an indispensable part of all aspects of 

our lives including wireless telecommunication, safety and security, 

healthcare, test and measurement, weather forecast, intelligent 

transport systems, global positioning, radio frequency 

identification, radio astronomy, earth observation, space, training 

and defense. 

From the microwave techniques developed over more than one 

century ago, an industry has emerged as essential as 

microelectronics and the car industry. The microwave industry is 

the never ending system exploitation of the electromagnetic field 

from 300 MHz up to 300 GHz. In that respect it is merging with 

photonics into what can be called microwave photonics or 

Terahertz technology. 

The biggest success of the microwave industry so far has been the 

mobile revolution. It has created the possibility for real time 

communications at any time and from any place. 

Future microwave development opportunities are always difficult 

to anticipate, but will most likely result from the way humanbeings 

interact socially, culturally, politically and economically. In 

particular environmental issues as well as threats and disasters 

will require new microwave solutions. 

However, the microwave industry has long been a complex 

network of interdependencies between component manufacturers, 

subsystem houses, and large-scale microwave equipment 

companies. The advent and fast development of mobile 

telecommunication, is forcing all these actors to work out 

altogether a coherent supply chain and Moore's like roadmaps to 

ensure that R&D activities, marketing and investment are 

positively unified. This can be seen as a prerequisite to a successful 

microwave industry in Europe in the coming decades. 

Scope 

The workshop is to provide an overview on the European 

microwave technology roadmap, its application scenario, and its 

relevance to the society within Europe. Comments and suggestions 

will be highly appreciated and taken into consideration in the 

vision and roadmap papers. 

Speakers 

Industry representatives and leading edge researchers will be the 

presenters of hot topics such as microwave potential, vision and 

roadmap as well as business related issues in the RF- and 

Microwave area in Europe. The workshop will conclude with a 

panel discussion with the speakers as panellists.

Attendance 

All RF/Microwave engineers from industry and academia, including 

students, are invited to attend and to participate actively in the 

Workshop sharing their opinions and suggestions. There is no fee 

for attending this workshop 

The European Radio and Microwave Interest Group (EuRaMIG) 

www.euramig.org has been launched as a network of companies, 

institutes and universities in Europe to gather around common 

visions and objectives for Europe in RF/microwave technology. 

It is recommended to join the European Microwave Association 

(EuMA) http://eumwa.org as a member because this will further 

support and strengthen EuRaMIG and the microwave community 

in Europe.

Abstract 

RF-MEMS have long been expected to enter mass market for many 

applications where their low loss, low power consumption and 

high linearity will allow dramatic improvements in many RF and 

microwave subsystems. 

However, understanding the phenomena and laws that govern 

their lifetime is a serious challenge, since RF-MEMS have 

properties stemming from their mechanical nature, like contact 

aging, and others from their electronic nature, like charge trapping. 

The purpose of this workshop is to present the latest results on the 

subject that have been obtained on RF-MEMS switches of all kinds, 

with emphasis on testing methodologies and relevant results for 

different kinds of RF-MEMS switches.

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 fibre transmission or broadband (>100 Gbits) 

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 

evaluation of resonance frequencies of gases and biological 

molecules located in the millimeter and sub-millimeter spectral 

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

address various device approaches for THz applications and will 

cover their design, modeling, process and characterization aspects. 

The tutorial is prepared for young scientists and engineers 

interested in learning about this emerging field, as well as people 

with more advanced understanding of related concepts. Experts 

from both Europe and the US will present the current status and 

future prospects of key THz technologies. The workshop will

Abstract 

Nanotechnology offers a promising multitude of new 

ultraminiaturized devices with potential sensing, thermal, 

electronic applications at microwave and radio frequencies (RF). 

Among others, carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene 

nanoribbons (GNR) are nanoscale structures that exhibit unique 

mechanical and electrical properties, such as ultra-high mobility, 

high saturation velocity, high current carrying capability, easy 

controllability of the band gap, excellent thermal conductivity, 

ultra-thin geometry, and exceptional Young modulus. In addition, 

carbon based material has also been found to be extremely 

sensitive to several gases, thus enabling a new generation of 

wireless sensor devices. 

The goal of this workshop is to present recent research 

achievements on high-performance devices for radio frequency 

applications, based on the assembly of novel nano-components, as 

well as on potential techniques exploiting radio waves in 

nanotechnology. 

High-frequency electromagnetic waves can be used to probe in a 

non-invasive/non-destructive way the properties of materials and 

devices based on nanostructures. The new devices find interesting 

wireless and RF applications, such as nanoscale electro-mechanical 

switches (NEMS), microscope tips, nano-antennas and 

interconnects. 

The topics cover issues ranging from epitaxial graphene patterning 

for the production of carbon based transistors, RF molecular 

electronics, ballistic resonance/transport through heterostructures, 

electromagnetic effects in carbon nanotubes, to recent advances in 

nanoscale imaging using microwave fields. 

Particular attention will also be devoted to new measurements 

techniques in the broadband characterization of nanoscale 

systems.

FRIDAY WORKSHOPS AND SHORT COURSES 

SHFR3 (EuRAD) 

Understanding High Resolution SAR Images 

Organisers: 

Pierfrancesco Lombardo, 'Sapienza' University of Rome, Italy 

Chris J. Oliver, InfoSAR Ltd, UK 

Abstract 

High Resolution SAR (synthetic aperture radar) images are in the 

process of being widely available for the applications. Images with 

resolutions in the range of a few centimetres to 2-3 meters are 

provided both from the new generation satellite SAR (Cosmo- 

SkyMed, TerraSAR-X, RadarSat-II) and from the many airborne SAR 

and UAV SAR under development or already in operation. 

However, since such high resolution data has not been widely 

available to the scientific community in the past; only a limited 

number of research centres/universities has been able to develop 

the advanced signal processing technique and to extract the 

information from the high resolution images. 

The workshop aims at providing a top-level tutorial review of the 

developed techniques, together with a clear vision of the 

requirements (for both military and civilian applications) and an 

insight into the ongoing research in the field. This includes: high 

resolution change detection, polarimetry, multi-frequency, bi- and 

multi-static SAR imaging, SAR constellations, high resolution 

multi-channel SAR, moving target detection, SAR jamming 

protection, high resolution SAR interferometry, super-resolution, 

apodization, etc... 

The attendees of the Workshop will have a wide view of the 

specific characteristics of high resolution SAR images, of the 

techniques to extract information from them, as well as of the new 

challenges for the information extraction based on SAR.

Advanced Radar Techniques 



Organiser: 

Peter Hoogeboom, Delft University of Technology/TNO Defence, 

Security and Safety, The Netherlands 

Abstract 

Radar systems have evolved from straightforward analog pulsebased 

devices to systems that have a high degree of digital control 

and digital signal generation and -processing. Throughout the 

years the digitization of radar systems has grown. More functions 

were implemented and A/D and D/A conversion came closer to the 

RF chain. Currently most radars exploit digital IF sampling rather 

than video sampling. Digital control is available in beam steering, 

mode control and pulse commanding. Digital signal generation 

leads to both very stable and complex transmitted signal patterns. 

The digital signal processing enables the full exploitation of 

functions that are provided by the digital modulation. Digital 

beamforming and the use of sub-arrays enhances the capabilities 

provided by the beam steering. 

In this workshop several advanced techniques will be introduced, 

i.e. FM-CW Radar, MIMO Radar, Ultra Wide Band Radar, Waveform 

coding, Synthetic Aperture Radar, Software Defined Passive Radar, 

Forward Scattering Radar. 

These topics are not only stand-alone advanced techniques, but 

also allow for powerful combinations, like for instance FM-CW 

(MIMO or Software Defined) SAR. Waveform coding allows for 

efficient, optimized and advanced data acquisition with radar 

systems. The discussion at the end of the workshop will enable the 

exchange of ideas on combined applications, but also to explore 

under exposed and unclear elements of the contributions during 

the day.

WHFR15 (EuRAD) 

Imaging Radars in Earth Observations: Techniques and Applications 

Organiser: 

Domenico Solimini, University of Rome 'Tor Vergata', Italy 

Abstract 

In the last two decades, several space agencies dedicated 

resources to observing the Earth from space by Synthetic Aperture 

Radars. The pioneering SAR missions demonstrated the potential 

of radar images in providing information for civil applications, 

including the commercial segment. The steadily growing demand 

of products and services is impacting the technical specifications 

of missions and sensors, which are driven by both applications and 

data exploitation techniques. The applications of imaging radars 

and the corresponding acquisition and data processing techniques 

are now a crucial element connecting the manufacturing industry 

with the scientific and commercial Earth Observation (EO) 

community. 

The workshop aims at bringing together the actors in the EO chain 

at the various levels, by highlighting some significant fields of 

common interest and interaction. 

The classification, change detection, and moving object 

identification techniques for SAR images, and in particular for the 

new metric resolution images, are presented and discussed. 

Monitoring land displacement is crucial in events related to 

tectonic and volcanic activity, landslides and subsidence. SAR 

differential interferometry, is surveyed, technical requirements are 

discussed and relevant results reported. PolInSAR techniques, are 

presented, together with a discussion on advantages and 

limitations of compact polarimetry, which is being considered for 

future missions. Finally, the incoming ESA SAR missions are 

illustrated, with reference to Sentinel-1, continuing the C-band 

observations, and to P-band imaging for global carbon monitoring 

and subsurface imaging in arid regions.

Looking Towards 4G: IMT-Advanced 

The proposals for a true 4G system will require wide bandwidth, 

high performance, and advanced transmission techniques. One of 

the proposals is LTE-Advanced requiring further enhancements to 

the current standards being defined. This presentation discusses 

the requirements of 4G, the challenge of increased average 

performance and the proposals for LTE-Advanced to meet these 

challenges such as Femto cells and in-channel relays. 


LTE RF Design and Measurement 

Challenges 

This presentation will discuss some typical LTE signal problems, 

both single channel and MIMO, along with the measurement 

approaches to understand them. The presentation will also 

describe a method for performing FDD and TDD base station and 

user equipment transmitter and receiver tests according to 3GPP 

conformance specifications. 


MIMO Channel Modeling and Emulation 

Test Challenges 

Modern radio designers have always looked for ways to improve 

spectral efficiency to transmit more bits per Hz without sacrificing 

signal quality. This paper covers how antenna technologies have 

evolved in recent years, including spatial diversity, spatial 

multiplexing and beam forming, to improve signal quality and 

throughput. We will review common wireless propagation channel 

characteristics before focusing on the added complexity in MIMO 

channel emulation like calculating correlation matrices to simulate 

various channel conditions. 


MIMO Antenna Design on a Small Budget 

Multi-Input/Multi-Output (MIMO) antenna systems are becoming 

more and more popular with advent of 3G/4G wireless standards 

as they offer increased spectral efficiency. This presentation will 

walk through patch antenna design basics then delve into MIMO 

design steps using Agilent Genesys cost-effective EDA solution. If 

you are involved or would like to learn about designing MIMO 

antennas for 3G/4G devices such as 802.11n, WiMAX, or LTE on a 

small budget; this presentation is for you. 


Advanced Nonlinear Device 

Characterization Utilizing Nonlinear Vector 

Network Analyzer and X-Parameters with 

Arbitrary Load and Multi-Tone Dependence 

This presentation will focus on Agilent's Nonlinear Vector Network 

Analyzer (NVNA) measurement capability as well as the 

application of X-parameters for the design and analysis of active 

components. A simple measurement configuration, calibration 

process and new phase calibration module provide vector 

corrected nonlinear measurements from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. The 

NVNA, based on a standard PNA-X, enables active device 

designers to accurately measure and model nonlinear device 

characteristics providing measurements such as calibrated 

amplitude and cross-frequency phase of frequency spectrum, 

vector corrected time domain waveforms, X-parameters, and pulse 

multi-envelope domain for analysis of long term memory effects. 

Details on the applications of measured X-parameters in design 

and validation of active components including the simulation/ 

optimization of complex stimulus/response behavior in ADS will be 

discussed. New load dependent and large-signal two-tone 

measurement based X-parameters will be introduced and used in 

the simulator providing an efficient and correct method for the 

designer to maximize linearity with a nonlinear model that is valid 

over a wide range of load impedances as well as full two-tone 

large signal drive at the device input.



New Ultra-Fast Noise Parameter System. 

Opening A New Realm-of-Possibilities in 

Noise Characterization (co-presented by 

Maury Microwave Corporation) 

Characterization of noise within a device or circuit is critical for 

many RF design engineers. The most commonly-used 

measurement is noise figure, but this parameter is not always 

sufficient. Noise Parameters are required to fully- understand and 

optimize devices, circuits and system designs. In the past, noise 

parameter measurements were often avoided because they took 

too long -- often days -- to complete. Now, using a PNA-X network 

analyzer and a noise tuner, complete noise parameter 

characterization is practical, fast and as easy as measuring Sparameters. 

This new method is >100x faster and dramatically 

more accurate. Compromise is no longer essential, as noise 

parameter measurements are now a practical option for all RF 

designers & test engineers.

LRRM-SOLR calibrations. New higher-end applications for imaging 

and video transmission are emerging and create a strong demand 

for test and measurement equipment in the millimeter-wave 

range. In addition, discover the latest probe measurement 

techniques and see how multi-port measurements can be 

implemented. 

Thursday 1 October, 09:30 - 10:30 

LTE MIMO System-Level Design 

System-level design simulations will be examined for LTE 2x2 

MIMO transmitter and receiver design case studies. RF/baseband 

design trade-offs will be discussed. A transmitter case study will 

investigate simulated transmitter design impairments and their 

effects on system-level metrics such as EVM. A receiver case study 

will investigate MIMO BER simulations with MIMO channel 

modeling and receiver design impairments. R&D SISO coded BER 

hardware measurements will be shown, using simulation to 

perform baseband coding/decoding functionality. 


Conquering noise for high dynamic range 

and accurate low-level signal 

measurements 

Noise is the ever-present foe of good RF/Microwave measurements, 

limiting dynamic range and the accuracy of low-level 

measurements. This presentation will cover measurement 

techniques and signal analyzer features, both old and new, which 

can dramatically reduce the effects of noise and improve both 

accuracy and speed. 


Methods and applications of Signal Phase 

Coherence and Stability 

Diversity antenna systems, phased array antennas, direction 

finding equipment and MIMO systems continue to grow in 

popularity. These coherent multi-channel systems offer capabilities 

that are simply unmatched by other technologies. This paper 

provides an overview on how these systems operate, their unique 

properties and the test challenges they present. Attendees will 

learn about some of the different ways to combine antenna 

apertures, the common problems encountered and the latest in 

advanced test equipment solutions for the coherent multi-channel 

system.

Fast Nonlinear Characterisation 

and PA Design Using VNAs 

In cooperation with NMDG N.V. & Focus Microwaves Inc. 

Abstract: 

The capabilities of network analyzers are evolving rapidly. The 

ZVxPlus combines a Rohde & Schwarz network analyzer with 

hardware and software from NMDG N.V. to perform thorough 

nonlinear analysis of high-frequency components. Previously, it 

was only possible to guess why certain nonlinear specifications 

were achieved. Now, the causes of nonlinearities are visualized 

and identified in a matter of seconds. Due to the accurate 

calibration techniques and the large dynamic range of the network 

analyzer, the large-signal measurements enable model verification 

and tuning. 

Combining the ZVxPlus with the unique fundamental and 

harmonic tuning technology of Focus Microwaves Inc. adds a new 

dimension to large-signal characterization. In addition to sourceand 

load-pull contours, ZVxPlus allows the waveforms to be 

observed while changing the impedances on different harmonics, 

adapting the bias point and controlling the RF power. It is a 

practical application of waveform engineering. This combination 

becomes an indispensable extension to the Rohde & Schwarz 

network analyzers when switching amplifiers are to be designed 

and tested. 

This practical workshop will demonstrate the use of the 

R&S®ZVA/ZVxPlus in combination with Focus Microwaves tuners 

to characterize transistors, to perform model verification and to 

design power amplifiers using waveform engineering. 

Summary: 

This practical workshop will demonstrate how customers benefit 

from extended network analyzers in combination with 

multiharmonic tuners to characterize the nonlinear behavior of 

components. It will show the following: 

• How a transistor can be characterized in a non-50 Ohm 

environment on different harmonics 

• How model verification and tuning uniquely benefit from 

this capability 

• How amplifier designers benefit from an extension to their 

network analyzers 

The workshop also gives room for practical discussions.

Modern Spectrum and Signal Analysis 

Spectrum Analyzers have advanced considerably in recent years. 

This tutorial will look at why spectrum analysis is important in a 

number of different applications and how to measure system and 

device performance using a spectrum analyzer. We will investigate 

the advances in modern spectrum analyzers and the benefits they 

bring to enable advanced signal analysis measurements. You will 

then get to know the specifications that are important for your 

application. During the presentation we will look at demonstrations 

of how these features allow measurements to be optimized. 


Signal Generation from Analog Modulation to 

Multi-Carrier and Multi-Antenna Applications 

This presentation addresses the basics of signal generation, the key 

signal specifications,and the applications of test signals.It will show how 

signal generators can be taken beyond general purpose applications all 

the way to simulating advanced signals with impairments, interference, 

signal capture, and waveform correction.We will first take a brief look at 

the historical and current applications driving the need to create test 

signals. From there, the subject of signal sources is divided into these 

sections: Generating and Simulating signals, Signal Generators, and 

Signal Simulation Solutions.In the Generating Signals sections,the basics 

of analog and vector modulation will be discussed. The Signal Generator 

section will delve into the block diagram, specifications, and applications. 

The Signal Simulation sections will show how signal generators simulate 

advanced signals with impairments, interference, signal capture and 

playback, and waveform correction. Lastly, we will investigate solutions 

available today and in the near future to best address the challenges of 

signal generation and simulation. This includes tools for creating 

waveforms, generating wideband signals and emulating channels for 

MIMO systems. 


Design and Evaluation of a 24 GHz UWB Radar 

front-end' (presented by Philips Research) 

Short-range radar is a technology that can help to enhance road 

safety. Recently, in the USA as well as in Europe, frequency bands 

around 24 GHz have been opened up for automotive radar 

applications. In this workshop, SiGe BiCMOS Ultra-Wideband (UWB) 

transmitter and receiver front-end ICs will be described. The UWB 

signal is generated by means of biphase modulation of a 24 GHz 

carrier with a pseudo-noise data signal. The transmitter IC will be 

demonstrated via a remotely controlled wafer-probe station (located 

at MiPlaza Electronic Measurement Lab, High Tech Campus 

Eindhoven), enabled through virtual access. 


Hands-on tutorial devoted to Electromagnetic 

Simulations 

High performance RF and Microwave devices form the physical 

layer (PHY) of today's wireless consumer and aerospace defense 

communication systems. Engineers in this industry have to deal 

with high complexity silicon and multilayered board technologies. 

EM (Electromagnetic) interference and coupling between devices 

is one of the highest challenges. If not contained they can 

jeopardize the functionality of a complete design. This implies 

circuit re-spin, lengthening product development time and 

increasing costs. If equipped with an EM-aware RF Computer 

Aided Design (CAD) tool, designers can mitigate the impact of 

electromagnetic effects. Agilent Advanced Design System (ADS), 

the industry leading RF Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tool, 

now integrates 3D EM solvers. A 3D EM Finite Element (FEM) 

solver is added to the ADS layout allowing a full wave 3D EM 

simulation of 3D structure without leaving the ADS environment. 

Join this hands-on workshop to learn more about 

FEM/MOM/FDTD, and try them out on real life test cases. 

Computers will be provided. Please let us know if you plan to bring 

your own laptop PC. 

Thursday 1 October, 10:00 - 12:00 (presented by Satimo, Italy) 

Fast Antenna Measurements Techniques using 

Probe Arrays 

During the session we will describe antenna measurement 

solutions based on probe array technology with special attention 

to automotive, aerospace and defense applications. Modern 

antennas are often multi-beam, active, adaptive and in other ways 

intelligent. The exhaustive testing of such antennas can be time 

consuming unless innovative methods are used. Probe array 

technology offers the possibility to test these modern antennas in 

a fast and reliable way. The tutorial covers an introduction to 

probe array technology with examples of different realizations of 

standard and dedicated measurement systems. 


Measuring High-Frequency Electrical 

Networks using Network Analyzers 

You will learn what kinds of measurements are made with a 

network analyser, and how they allow you to characterise both 

linear and non-linear behaviour of your devices. The session starts 

with RF fundamentals such as transmission lines and the Smith 

chart, leading to the concepts of reflection, transmission and Sparameters. 

The next section covers the major components in a 

network analyser, including the advantages and limitations of 

different hardware approaches. Error modelling, some typical 

swept-frequency and swept-power measurements commonly 

performed on filters and amplifiers will also be covered.
