Frequency generation equips nearly all electronic systems and is a critical performance factor
for many of them. This forum focuses on wireless and wireline systems, which demand high
performance clocks, and looks for synergies between them. The topics cover both
fundamental techniques and specific applications. State-of-the-art techniques will be explored
in depth, such as high-FOM VCOs, digital-to-time converters, sampling phase-detectors,
synthesizable and digital PLLs. Attention will also be on booming applications, such as highspeed
wireline, FMCW radar, mm-wave and THz. The forum aims at bringing together the
contemporary top interests with added value and sowing seeds to inspire the future.
