Welcome to the 11 th European 

Microwave Week 2008 

The European Microwave Week 2008 continues the series of 

successful microwave events, since its start in 1998 with its 11th Conference and Exhibition Week. From October 27th through 31st , 

2008 the event will be held again in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. 

This conference series has continued to grow and is now the 

premier event in this field in Europe. The European Microwave 

Week consists of four conferences: 

The 38th European Microwave Conference (EuMC) 

The 3rd European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference 

(EuMIC) 

The 1st European Wireless Technology Conference (EuWiT) 

The 5th European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 

The Week provides the opportunity to attend these four 

conferences, various workshops and short courses given by 

leading experts in the field. In addition to the conferences the 

European Microwave Exhibition provides a unique market place 

for the delegates to engage with the leading companies on the 

largest trade show on RF and Microwaves in Europe. 

For the first time EuMW2008 also offers a number of very 

attractive side events. IQPC’s Military Radar Conference will 

be collocated and accessible to EuMW delegates. Forum and 

panel discussions will be organized on topics of special interest. 

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

competition, the EuMW2008 Student Challenge. 

The ambition of the 11th European Microwave Week 2008 is to 

introduce a lead theme to bind the 4 conferences, the trade show 

and the application areas. For EuMW2008 the central theme will 

be “Bridging Gaps” to encourage interaction between research 

and application development. 

The EuMW2008 event is the first to focus on the needs 

of engineers and researchers for the creation of innovative 

applications, products and services by providing an inspiring 

environment for discussion between academia and industry. We 

hope to enable the two communities to share the latest trends 

and developments that are widening the field of application of 

microwaves. Microwave devices, systems for telecommunications 

(both terrestrial and space borne), transportation, medical, 

radar as well as new fields of application will be present in the 

programme. Special attention has been put on the coordination 

of areas of common interest between the different conferences, 

workshops and short courses.

WELCOME MESSAGES 

The four conferences specifically target ground breaking innovation 

in microwave research through a call for papers explicitly inviting 

to submit presentations on the latest trends in the field driven by 

the roadmaps of the industry. 

The tradeshow area will accommodate floor space for “Bridging 

Gaps” exhibition pavilions where EuMW Science and Technology 

“meets” applications. 

The location of EuMW2008 will be the Amsterdam RAI. The venue 

is easy to access with very good transportation from Schiphol 

Amsterdam Airport and railway stations. Hotel accommodation 

is available throughout Amsterdam with good connection to the 

Amsterdam RAI convention centre by public transportation. 

We are proud to present to you the programme of EuMW2008 

which could not have been achieved without the valuable 

contribution of many enthusiastic colleagues in industry, research 

centres and universities all over the world who have helped to 

organize this year’s event in Amsterdam. 

On behalf of the Local Organizing 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 into the final 

programmes. 

Also we like to thank those who organized the workshops, the 

focussed sessions, the short courses and the special events which 

we believe are an essential element to fulfil the needs of our 

delegates. 

And last but not least it has been a great pleasure to cooperate 

with Horizon House. Their experience and support again proved 

invaluable for guiding the chair and his team through all the steps 

of organizing a challenging event. 

We are convinced that you will find the European Microwave 

Week 2008 to be unique, refreshing and inspiring offering many 

opportunities to learn about new ideas and to share some of 

your own with other delegates and colleagues. We look forward 

to welcome you in Amsterdam at the 11th European Microwave 

Week.

Welcome from the President 

of the European Microwave 

Association 

I am privileged to welcome you to the 11 th European Microwave 

Week (EuMW), an initiative of the European Microwave 

Association (EuMA), founded in 1998 as a non-profit organisation 

based in Belgium. Amsterdam is a special place for EuMA, 

since it is the venue of the first EuMW, initiated in 1998 by 

complementing the European Microwave Conference (EuMC), 

the most prestigious microwave event in Europe since 1969, 

with two other major conferences in related areas, workshops, 

short courses and a large technical exhibition. Amsterdam is also 

the venue of the first EuRAD, which was added to the EuMW 

in 2004. 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, formerly GAAS) in 

creating such event, which has now become the Europe’s premier 

microwave, RF, wireless, and Radar event, attracting on average 

1,500 delegates, with a record of about 1100 papers submitted 

and a 7500 m 2 exhibition. 

Originally created in order to run on a firm legal basis the 

EuMW, EuMA has more recently undertaken initiatives for better 

serving the microwave community worldwide. The association 

has been opened to general membership, so that all microwave 

engineers from all over the world can join the EuMA as Members 

or Student Members. Many EuMA members now come from US 

and Asian countries. I am glad to announce that the General 

Assembly, the highest governing body of the association gathering 

representatives from European countries, has recently approved 

a motion to include also representatives from North America and 

Asia Pacific. This is a first step towards the creation of a truly 

trans-national association. I expect that this move will trigger 

similar and coordinated actions by other technical communities in 

Europe with whom EuMA has various collaborations. 

If you are not a EuMA member yet I encourage you to join. You 

will be entitled to discounted fees for attending EuMA and EuMAsponsored 

conferences and workshops, participate in EuMA 

activities, receive the EuMA Newsletter, and pay a discounted 

Roberto Sorrentino 

President 

European Microwave Association 


price both for the 2 EuMC DVD Archives which include all papers 

from the EuMC (1969 - 2003 and 2004 - 2008 respectively) and 

subscription to the EuMA Proceedings, a quarterly peer-reviewed 

journal. The journal is being totally reshaped to become a truly 

authoritative European Journal, under a new name and a new 

publisher. To join EuMA or to renew your membership simply 

go to EuMA Desk located in the registration area or to the web 

page www.eumwa.org, follow the instruction on the screen and 

pay a modest fee of € 20 (€ 10 for students) after choosing your 

preferred payment method. This will be more than compensated 

for by the discount you will get in registration fees (non member 

registration fee is 30% more expensive), DVD and journal 

subscription prices. For new members and EuMW delegates it will 

be our pleasure to give you an EuMA welcome gift, that you can 

receive at the EuMA Desk. 

EuMA is proud to acknowledge those individuals who have given 

exceptional contributions to the microwave community. In 2004 

the Distinguished Service Award, was established to “recognize 

an individual who has given outstanding service for the benefit 

of the European microwave community and, in particular, for 

the advancement of the European Microwave Association”. In 

addition, a new award, the Outstanding Career Award will be 

presented for the first time this year to recognize an individual 

“whose career has exemplified outstanding achievements in the 

field of Microwaves”. Both awards for 2008 will be presented 

during the opening ceremony of the EuMW. 

This is the third EuMW held in Amsterdam after the successful 

events in 1998 and 2004, within the third 5-year cycle through 

Europe, continuing on to Rome 2009, Paris 2010 and Manchester 

2011. Horizon House is arranging the EuMW, together with the 

EuMA for the sixth year now and we are proud to offer the 

scientific community such an outstanding conference week. 

A special word of welcome to the organizers and delegates of 

the IQPC Military Radar Conference, which is collocated with the 

EuMW in the RAI this year. EuMA looks forward to a successful 

cooperation and hopes for fruitful networking and welcomes the 

IQPC delegates who participate in the EuRAD conference. 

I would like to conclude my welcome message by extending my 

sincere thanks to TNO for making available people and resources 

to perform the local organization of the EuMW. Furthermore I 

would like to thank Frank van den Bogaart, 11th EuMW General 

Chairman, Peter Hoogeboom, Chairman of the 38th EuMC, Herbert 

Zirath, Chairman of EuMIC 2008, Homayoun Nikookar, Chairman 

of EuWiT 2008, and Alexander Yarovoy, Chairman of EuRAD 2008, 

for setting up four outstanding technical and scientific programs 

for this memorable event in Amsterdam.

Welcome to EuMC 2008 

At the time of writing this welcome message The Week is 

still far in the future, but the tension is rising. Excitement 

surrounds the various teams that cooperate closely to bring you a 

worthwhile and memorable 11 th European Microwave Week 2008 

in Amsterdam. Meetings, phonecalls and emails are innocent and 

silent witnesses of what is sure to come. 

We, Dominique Schreurs, Jan Geralt bij de Vaate and Peter 

Hoogeboom volunteered to organize the 38 th European Microwave 

Conference (EuMC). We worked enthusiastically in a balanced 

atmosphere of new ideas and proven, valuable events and 

now we await in high expectation what is to come. We have 

undertaken many efforts to produce an interesting programme 

for you at the conference and in various side events. 

The EuMC is the largest conference in The Week, running from 

Tuesday until Thursday. The conference workshops extend the 

event to the full working week. The conference covers a broad 

range of technological and engineering themes in Passive and 

Active Components, Circuits and Sub-Systems. Many common 

topics with all three other conferences underline the synergy in 

Microwaves. In the Electromagnetism theme and the Microwave 

Systems and Applications themes attention is paid to Medical and 

Biological Effects, extending to Quality of Life. Several focussed 

sessions will take place here and in the opening session a keynote 

address on Quality of Life is programmed. Don‘t miss the other 

plenary talks. On Thursday a pre-closing plenary with two invited 

papers is programmed. 

Homeland Security is also a newcomer. A focussed session, 

common with EuRAD, on the European SOSTAR (Stand Off 

Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar) system is organized 

in this respect. 

The yearly Military Radar Conference of IQPC (International 

Quality and Productivity Center) in London will be collocated 

with The Week. The conference will have its own programme on 

Tuesday and Wednesday (see page 96-101). The Military Radar

delegates can visit the large exhibition and participate in the 

EuRAD sessions and of course like everybody else in all conference 

workshops. Likewise, participants of The Week can register for 

IQPC’s Military Radar Conference at a reduced rate and benefit 

from the presentations that are organized in this area. 

Together with EuRAD an Interactive Poster Session (IPS) is 

organized on Thursday for the first time. Authors who signed 

up for a presentation in the IPS will demonstrate their results 

with laptops and equipment, rather then with static paper 

poster presentations. A special IPS demonstration environment, 

consisting of tables, walls and electric power will be set up near 

the regular poster session in the exhibition hall. 

On Wednesday the IPS tables will be used for the preparation 

of the posters for the EuMW2008 Student Challenge. During 

the lunchbreak on Thursday participating students will present 

a poster on ideas and results that came up during The Week, 

inspired by EuMW presentations. The posters will cover topics 

that have been supplied by the organization. The competition is 

fully organized by PhD students. The best presentation will receive 

the EuMW2008 Student Challenge Prize with a value of € 1500, 

sponsored by Thales Nederland. The award ceremony takes place 

in the EuMW/EuMC closing session. How to participate and more 

information on the event can be found on page 23. 

For the first time in The Week, a Women In Engineering event 

is organized. Taking place on Wednesday evening after the 

sessions, the ladies and hopefully some men who participate will 

hear presentations on gender issues and making up of careers, 

followed by discussions and networking in the Amsterdam café 

at the RAI, where drinks and snacks will be served. The event 

is free of charge, thanks to sponsorship by the Netherlands 

National Science Foundation STW. See page 22 for information 

and registration. 

Ladies and Gentlemen, we welcome you to the EuMC and look 

forward to share an interesting and successful week in Amsterdam.

Welcome to EuWiT 2008 

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the EuWiT2008 being 

held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on October 27-29, 2008. 

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. With research and 

development on beyond 3G in full swing, wireless technology is a 

rapidly expanding field with many new challenges, products and 

services, in particular for systems such as WLAN, Cognitive Radio, 

UWB, Wireless Ad-hoc Network, 4G, RFID, Local Positioning, 

Digital Audio and Video Broadcasting, etc. 

This is the first EuWiT conference which brings 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. One topic in this session is the new Conference Topic 

“Quality of Life“, which will be addressed from the Body Area 

Networks point of view. In the plenary sessions key-note speakers 

will address the present trends in Wireless Communications. The 

plenary sessions are open to all participants of the European 

Microwave Week. 

In addition to the invited papers that give state of the art and 

perspectives of new wireless technologies, several other sessions 

are planned: the regular podium and poster paper contributions, 

joint sessions with EuMC and EuMIC, and three focussed sessions 

on “Cognitive Radio and Networks”, “Adaptive Spectrum Access

Welcome to EuRAD 2008 

A warm welcome to the 5th European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 

being held in Amsterdam as part of the European Microwave 

Week (EuMW). EuRAD started in Amsterdam 5 years ago thanks 

to the inspiration and determination of Leo Ligthart. Since then 

the number of submitted and accepted papers almost doubled 

and EuRAD has grown to one of the largest European and worldwide 

recognized Radar events. 

This year we have received over 160 contributions to the 

conference, not only from Europe but also from America, Asia 

and Africa. They cover a wide range of radar topics including 

Technology, Signal Processing, System Design and Evaluation, and 

Various Applications. Also included this year are Environmental 

Remote Sensing Systems for Hazard Prevention and Monitoring 

Applications, Homeland Security and Military Related Systems 

as well as Radars for Surveillance, Transport Guidance and 

Control. Based on submitted papers the TPC put together a 

conference programme of excellent quality and general interest. 

The programme focuses on: 

a) Modern Developments in Radar including Active Phased 

Arrays and Ultra-Wideband Technology as well as their 

Applications in High-Resolution and Imaging Radars, 

b) Advanced Signal Processing for Target Tracking and 

Classification and 

c) Radar Sensor Networks. 

The conference programme combines oral sessions, joint sessions 

with the European Microwave Conference (EuMC), a poster 

session and an interactive poster session. The program will give a 

wide overview on the most recent advances in Radar and Radar 

Applications. In the opening session of EuRAD discussion on 

future radar developments in the U.S. will be complemented with 

an overview of one of the most successful recent radar projects 

in Europe – PAMIR Active Phased Array System. At the closing 

session the Dutch Government-Industry Approach Towards Long 

Term Radar Innovations will be presented.

Co-Chair EuRAD 


The conference programme is completed with 4 workshops 

on “SKA: Extremely Large Receiver Systems“, “System and 

Technology Aspects of Future Active Phased Array Radars“, “Ad- 

Hoc Radar Sensor Networks“ and “Radar Performance Prediction 

Based on Tests and Simulations“. The first two workshops are 

organized jointly with EuMC. 

Amsterdam is a place for innovations. It was here that EuMW has 

started in 1998, EuRAD has been launched in 2004 and this year 

for the first time we introduce an Interactive Poster (or demo) 

Session (IPS). This IPS will be held jointly with EuMC on Thursday. 

During this session the authors can present real-time operation 

of developed hardware or software or demonstrate movies (slideshows) 

showing the operation of complete systems. The IPS gives 

an excellent chance to bridge university science with industrial 

developments. Also for the first time the EuRAD conference will 

be attended by delegates of the Military Radar Conference of 

IQPC, which will be held in parallel with the EuMW. 

The conference will be held during two days in the RAI. 

On Thursday the delegates can access the largest European 

microwave exhibition and in the evening they are invited to 

join the EuRAD conference dinner on board of a cruise ship. The 

dinner is sponsored by Thales Nederland. During the dinner the 

company‘s CEO will address the participants. 

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. Furthermore the best 

innovative demonstration prize of € 1,000 will be awarded by 

Thales Nederland to the best presentation at the IPS. 

Finally, we express our sincere thanks to the authors for submitting 

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

thorough evaluation of submitted papers. We thank the invited 

speakers, the organizers of workshops and focussed sessions, 

and the TPC members for selecting best papers for the conference 

programme. We also thank Thales Nederland and Raytheon for 

their conference sponsorship. Our particular thanks are to Leo

and Sciences in Göteborg and member of other international 

recognized organizations. He was member of the „Science 

Advisory Group“ of the ESA project FIRST (Far Infrared Submillimeter 

Space Telescope), member of the organizing committee 

of ISDRS (International Semiconductor Device Research 

Symposium) and member of the Board for the SSF Programme 

on High Frequency Electronics. He contributed significantly to the 

European Microwave Conference since 1982. 

He did pioneering research on applications of extremely lownoise 

millimetre wave superconducting mixers. III-V devices 

(Schottky mixer diodes and HEMTs) and low noise amplifiers. He 

pointed out first saturation effects in semiconductor varactors. He 

is inventor of the Heterostructure Barrier Varactor (HBV) diode. 

His research activity on superconducting hot electron mixers 

led to world record results. His present research interests are 

on superconducting hot-electron bolometer mixers at terahertz 

frequencies, ferroelectric varactors and phase shifters and new 

types of a sub-millimetre wave semiconductor varactor. He 

defined the SSF Programme for High Frequency Electronics. 

He published over 275 papers, holds 6 patents and published 

several books and book chapters 

In 1982 he received the Microwave Price at the 12th European 

Microwave Conference, in 1986 he received The Dahlén gold medal 

for achievements in mm-wave technology and got an Honourable 

Doctors degree at the Helsinki University of Technology in 2000.

European Microwave Week 2008 

General 

Information 

Welcome to EuMW2008 

Celebrate the very best in Microwaves and RF at the 11 th European 

Microwave Week, held at the Amsterdam RAI. The Week covers 

FIVE days and will provide an intoxicating mix of FOUR strong 

and challenging conferences, complemented by ONE healthy 

exhibition featuring international players. In addition, the 2008 

Military Radar Conference will be collocated with EuMW2008 

for the first time, enabling cross participation in sessions and 

workshops and providing additional opportunities for networking, 

thereby strengthening the “Bridging Gaps” theme. 

European Microwave Week is the premier European conference 

and exhibition for microwave, wireless communications, 

microwave integrated circuit and radar professionals working in 

industry, academia and commerce. 

Choose from four separate but complementary conferences. 

Spanning the length of the week, starting from Monday 27th October, the conferences are scheduled as follows: 

27-28 October 2008: European Microwave Integrated 

Circuits Conference (EuMIC) 

27-28 October 2008: European Wireless Technology 

Conference (EuWiT) 

28-31 October 2008: European Microwave Conference 

(EuMC) 

30-31 October 2008: European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 

Adjacent to each conference a number of workshops and short 

courses are organized that enable in-depth discussions and 

presentations on topical and state-of-the-art developments. 

Reserve some time in your agenda to participate in these 

workshops before or after your conference. The information 

content is high, the costs are low. 

This year we expect over 1700 conference delegate registrations 

and over 5000 visitors to the 250 plus exhibitors, at this exciting 

venue. 

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION AND LOCATION 

Onsite registration begins on Sunday 26th Oct (16:00 – 19:00) 

and commences at 07:30 each morning from Monday 27th to 

Friday 31st . 

The conference will be held in different rooms over the conference 

dates. Please refer to the Conference Matrix at the back of this 

booklet for a detailed overview. 


GENERAL INFORMATION 

Delegates should register for one, two, three or all four of the 

conferences. Registration at one conference does not allow any 

access to other conference sessions. Those who wish to register 

for two or more conferences will receive a discount on these 

registrations. 

Fees and discounts are all explained on the registration form, which 

can be found in the middle of this booklet. Pre-registration is easy, 

either complete the form within this booklet and return by post or fax, 

or register online. Delegates can self-register on the secure website, 

www.eumwregistration.com or through www.eumweek.com 

Delegates who want to participate in events of the Military Radar 

Conference, should register at the IQPC registration desk in the 

Main Foyer near the entrance. A reduced fee will be applicable to 

EuMW delegates. The Military Radar delegates will participate in 

the EuRAD conference and can attend the workshops and short 

courses at the same conditions as EuMW delegates. 

Payment is required with your booking. All payments 

must be in Euros – cards will be debited in Euros and cheques 

must be from a Euro account. Methods of payment are credit 

cards (Master Card, Visa or American Express), as well as 

company cheques, personal cheques and American Express 

Travellers Cheques, which are accepted for mailed registrations. 

Online registrants will automatically be e-mailed an order 

confirmation receipt immediately after they pay, while mailed 

and faxed registrants will receive confirmation via e-mail if they 

give an address. Those supplying no e-mail address will receive 

confirmation by post. Furthermore, all registrants will also receive 

receipts in their badge packets at the show. 

For faxed or mailed registrations, one copy of the registration 

form should be completed for each participant. Please note that 

some side events require registration at www.eumweek.com. 

All pre-registered badges must be collected from the Conference 

Pre-Registration Desk at the event. Once you have collected your 

badge, you can collect the conference proceedings on CD-ROM 

and delegate bag for the conferences. Processing will be quick 

and easy but queues may form at busy times, so please arrange 

to collect your badge well in advance of your first conference 

session. 

The registration area will be located in the Main Foyer of the RAI, 

where delegate bag collection will also be available.

Those who have not pre-registered may register on site. There will 

be Self Service terminals in the registration area, where delegates 

can enter their details and pay immediately by swiping their credit 

cards through the credit card readers attached to the terminals. 

Alternatively, you can click ‘Pay at Cashier’ and then proceed to 

the Cashier Point and pay using specified credit cards and cash.

GETTING TO THE AMSTERDAM RAI, 

THE NETHERLANDS 

Amsterdam RAI is situated next to the Ring A10, exit S109. 

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

station, Amsterdam RAI, is within walking distance. 

By Air 

You can reach Amsterdam RAI from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol 

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

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

standard of service. 

By Tram and Bus 

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

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

exit at the Amsterdam RAI station) or tram 4 (travelling time: 30 

minutes, exit at the RAI Europaplein). If you are travelling by train 

to the Amstel station, you can take the Amstelveen express tram 

51 (travelling time: 5 minutes) or the bus (route 15, 69 or 169), 

which will bring you to the RAI within 10 minutes. In this case 

you should get off at RAI Europaplein. From Amsterdam Sloterdijk 

station, the best way to reach the RAI is with express tram 50. 



Tickets for trams and buses must be purchased before the journey 

at stations, kiosks or ticket machines. A so-called “strippenkaart” 

can be used for several journeys on trams and buses. The required 

number of strips will be validated by the driver, or in some cases 

you have to stamp strips in advance of the journey. Without a 

validated ticket a high fine could be your penalty! 

By Train 

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

has regular connections to all parts of the Netherlands, like 

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

international trainnetwork. 

Train tickets must be purchased before the journey, preferably 

from ticket machines, which are situated at all stations. Don’t 

forget to validate your ticket on the train platform, a high fine 

could be your penalty! 

By Car 

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

alongside the Amsterdam’s A10 orbital motorway (exit S109) 

and has its own underground car parks. This means that the 

RAI is easily accessible for visitors coming from the Netherlands 

or abroad. All the main motorways can be reached without 

difficulty from the orbital motorway. Numerous signboards 

indicate repeatedly to the RAI. During large exhibitions orange 

signs displaying ‘P RAI’ will direct you to additional parking 

places. From there a free shuttle bus will bring you to the RAI. 

PASSPORT AND VISA REQUIREMENTS 

A valid passport is required for entry into The Netherlands. At the 

time of writing, no visa is required for travellers with passports 

from the European Union, United States, Canada or Australia. 

Visas may possibly be required for travellers from other countries. 

Please contact the Dutch consulate at least four months prior to 

the conference. See also page 19 (Personal and visa invitation) 

and www.eumweek.com. 

INSURANCE 

It is highly recommended that all participants carry the proper 

travel and health insurance, as the organizer cannot accept any 

liability for any accidents or injury that occur during or when 

travelling to the event. Please also insure that personal items 

are covered for loss, damage or theft either through a personal 

insurance policy or by a corporate policy. We cannot accept any 

liability for personal items that are lost, damaged or stolen during

CREDIT CARDS 

All major hotels and most restaurants and shops will accept credit 

cards. It is advisable to carry an identification card or passport as 

well. Visa and MasterCard are the most widely accepted cards.

ELECTRICITY 

Electricity is supplied at 230V, 50Hz. 

ATM (CASH) MACHINES 

These are available in many places, including the RAI. Use your 

Maestro PIN bankcard to retain money from your account.

our hotel-booking agency RAI Hotel & Travel Service makes 

reservations at reduced rates in various 2, 3, 4 and 5 star hotels. 

This service is offered to you at no charge. For more information

Interactive Poster Session 

Thursday, 12:30 - 13:50, Exhibition Hall 

The Interactive Poster Session (IPS) is a new initiative to enable 

authors to present new results in an interactive way. That could 

be through a live computer demonstration, a real measurement 

setup to show a newly discovered effect or via a demonstration 

of a newly developed device/system. The session is intended to 

demonstrate hardware, software and complete systems or to 

present movies or slide shows of new achievements. 

For the interactive poster a standard table and a poster wall will 

be available. 220 V mains supply is also available to power your 

demo. If you need a beamer, you have to bring it yourself. 

The IPS is commonly organized between EuMC and EuRAD and 

will be combined with the regular EuMC-EuRAD poster session. 

Both events are presented in the Exhibition hall. See floorplan on 

page 102 for the location of the 15 IPS booths. 

For a truly innovative, new and outstanding interactive poster 

presentation an outstanding interactive poster prize of € 1000, 

sponsored by Thales Nederland may be awarded in the closing 

sessions of EuMC and EuRAD.

To bridge the gap between university and industry, students and 

young researchers can participate in the EuMW2008 Student 

Challenge, which is hosted this year for the first time. This 

competition challenges students to test their technical and 

application-oriented innovation skills; moreover it promotes 

active participation, team working, and networking, key elements 

in all working environments. 

The EuMW2008 Student Challenge is a competition running 

through all of EuMW2008. Teams of participating students 

aim at achieving a novel application-oriented concept from 

oral presentations and posters contributed to the conferences 

belonging to the EuMW2008. The final stage and result of the 

competition includes the preparation of a poster by each team 

to explain and clarify a novel concept developed during the 

EuMW2008 by the team. The posters are then presented to the 

technical jury and audience in the Poster Session area in the 

EuMW2008 Exhibition Hall (see floorplan on page 102). The 

technical jury evaluates the posters and selects the winning team 

that will receive the EuMW2008 Student Challenge Prize. The 

value of the prize is € 1500, sponsored by Thales Nederland. All 

participants are invited to a student evening event.

Millimeter-Wave Wireless: Applications, Standards and 

Technologies 

Mehmet Soyuer, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center 

Advances in SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS technologies have enabled 

the implementation of highly-integrated radios operating at 

mmWave frequencies, such as the 57 to 64 GHz Industrial, Scientific 

and Medical (ISM) band. The combination of silicon-based radio 

ICs, small antenna sizes, and wide available bandwidth is driving 

new applications such as wireless personal area networks and 

wireless uncompressed video transmission. This talk will highlight 

the progress made in mmWave IC designs in silicon, and provide a 

review of evolving standards for 60-GHz wireless communication 

links. 

Dr. Mehmet Soyuer is Department Group Manager, Communication 

Technologies, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown 

Heights, NY, USA.

The Herschel-HIFI Space Instrument: Exploring the Universe 

with Mm and Microwave Technology 

Thijs de Graauw, SRON, Utrecht, The Netherlands 

The Herschel Satellite is with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array 

(ALMA) one of the two very large sub-millimeter and Far Infra Red 

(FIR) astronomy projects that will come into operation at the end 

of this decade. Herschel’s observational capabilities will address 

forefront questions in astronomy including the formation of galaxies 

after the Big Bang and the creation of planetary systems around 

other stars. Herschel will be launched early 2009 with an Ariane-5 

rocket, together with the Planck satellite, the first European mission 

that studies the Cosmic Microwave Background. 

Herschel has three scientific instruments (cameras and spectrometers) 

and one of them is HIFI, the Heterodyne Instrument for the FarInfrared. 

It is operating in the frequency range from 480 to 1910 GHz and its 

design is optimized for high resolution spectroscopy (δλ/λ~10-6 ) of 

interstellar molecules, such as water vapor, and to make frequency 

scans over the entire frequency range. It makes use of newly 

developed RF technology, ranging from cryogenic low-noise amplifiers 

and superconducting mixers, W-band power amplifiers, planar Schottky 

diode multipliers, to high frequency digital electronics. 

Thijs de Graauw is affiliated with SRON Netherlands Institute for Space 

Research, Leiden University, the Netherlands and the Joint ALMA 

Observatory, Chile.

Trends and Standardization of Body Area Networks (BAN) for 

Medical Healthcare 

Ryuji Kohno, Director of Medical ICT Centre, Yokohama National University 

(YNU) and Medical ICT Institute, National Institute of ICT (NICT), Japan 

If we look at what’s next in information communication technology (ICT), 

then a ubiquitous medical healthcare system using advanced ICT technologies 

such as UWB, SDR, MIMO will be the most promising in both academia and 

industry. This promising new advanced medical ICT can be used to address the 

serious social problem of population ageing. Medical ICI is engaged as one of 

the most significant innovations in a new Japanese government primary plan 

for promoting science and technology. 

Wireless BAN is a small-scale wireless communication network, which is 

considered as a potential technology to provide extremely high quality of 

life (QoL) and to pursue ubiquitous medicine for people in a more direct 

manner. In particular, UWB is a core technology for BAN in a sense of highly 

reliable and safe wireless technology for in vivo and in vitro communications 

in a human body. Moreover, several implemented prototypes of BAN are 

introduced. Finally, activities of IEEE802.15.6 for standardization of Medical 

BAN are summarized. 

Ryuji Kohno received the PhD degree in electrical engineering from the Univ. 

of Tokyo in 1984. Currently he is the director of Medical ICT Center in YNU 

and a guest professor of Medical School in Yokohama City University. Since 

2007, he is also a Finnish Distinguished Professor in Univ. of Oulu, Finland. 

14:45 – 15:30 

Propagation Channel Modeling for Ad hoc Networks 

Homayoun Hashemi, StarLab, Stanford University, USA 

In a wireless ad hoc network a collection of autonomous terminals or 

nodes communicate with each other forming a multihop decentralized 

radio network. Propagation conditions between these low-antennaheight 

stationary or mobile radio transceivers have major differences with 

transmission between elevated (base) antennas and low-antenna-height 

mobile units typical in conventional wireless communication systems. In 

this talk basic principles of propagation modelling for ad hoc networks are 

presented. 

Homayoun Hashemi is a Consulting Professor at the Electrical Engineering 

Department of Stanford University. He has done research on different 

aspects of wireless communications, including general system architecture, 

resource management, propagation modelling, performance analysis, and 

capacity evaluations for digital cellular, microcellular, and indoor wireless 

communication systems.

Trends in Mixed Signal RF and Integrated Microsystems 

Barry Perlman, CERDEC, New Jersey, USA 

Integrated mixed signal electronics combining analog, digital and 

radio frequency circuits is being used to realize beyond-leading-edge 

components and systems on a chip with revolutionary performance 

and high levels of functionality. This talk will provide an overview 

of integrated microsystem development and associated material 

and device technology. Examples will include reconfigurable radio 

frequency circuit and device technology, heterogeneous integrated 

circuits, multiresolution spectral sensors, intelligent microsystems and 

integrated microsystems for digital beamformers. This technology is 

pushing the limits of conventional scaling, integration, linearity and 

power dissipation and is changing the paradigm of a variety of systems 

by making it possible to improve data throughput and connectivity by 

enabling autonomous reconfigurability, spectral and temporal agility 

and adaptive behaviour.

Symposium “Bridging Gaps” 

This Symposium is free of charge for all delegates, visitors and exhibitors. 

For EuMW2008 the central theme will be “Bridging Gaps” to encourage 

interaction between research and application development. The EuMW2008 event 

is the first to focus on the needs of engineers and researchers for the creation 

of innovative applications, products and services by providing an inspiring 

environment for discussion between research, academia and industry. We hope 

to enable these communities to share the latest trends and developments that 

are widening the field of application of microwaves. The tradeshow area will 

accommodate “bridging gaps” exhibition pavilions where EuMW Science & 

Technology “meets” applications. 

Program: 

13:50 Welcome by TNO 

13:55 RF & Microwave applications, outlook for lower 

cost by Jan Blommaart, IBM 

As the wireless communication frequency bands around 2.4 and 5 GHz get 

more crowded with increase in usage and interference within a limited available 

bandwidth, the focus for high-data-rate communications is shifting to carrier 

frequencies within the millimetre wave (mmWave) region of the frequency 

spectrum, roughly defined as 30 to 300 GHz. 

At present, production-level mmWave solutions utilize bulky hybrid microwave 

components, realized as multi-chip-modules (MCMs) or waveguide assemblies 

with little integration. Compound semiconductor technologies, such as GaAs 

pHEMTs dominate today and meet the critical performance requirements, albeit 

at high cost and low-level of integration. What has been missing is an enabling 

low-cost, high-volume, technology, which works at mmWave frequencies. 

As a result of the recent advances in SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS technologies, the 

implementation of highly-integrated radios operating at mmWave frequencies, 

such as the 57 to 64 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band are now 

feasible. The combination of silicon-based radio ICs, small antenna sizes, advances 

in low-cost microwave packaging and wide available bandwidth is opening up 

the path towards new applications such as wireless personal area networks and 

wireless uncompressed video transmission. 

14:20 Accelerate your Innovation, by MiPlaza by Ercan Sengil, 

Philips Research 

More and more semiconductors companies are going fab-less or adopting a fablight 

business model. This push is primarily driven by the lack of ability to run 

factories at full capacity, hence, raising the cost of ownership. In order to keep 

their operations running, the same companies need R&D facilities and services 

to realize their innovation potential with optimal cost-effectiveness and short 

turnaround cycles. 

MiPlaza (Microsystems Plaza), located at the heart of High Tech Campus in 

Eindhoven, offers world-class R&D expertise, services and 14200 m2 cleanroom/ 

laboratory infrastructure, enabling its customers to carry out high-tech research in 

the most efficient way. 

The MiPlaza Electronic Measurement (EM) Laboratory (DC to 67GHz), created 

in partnership with Agilent Technologies and Cascade Microtech, enables our 

customers to perform measurements/modeling of on-wafer chips and finished 

products in our premises or through a virtual connection using the Internet. 

14:45 Driving Innovation by Philippe Mattelaer, Holst Centre 

Holst Centre is an independent open-innovation R&D Centre that develops generic 

technologies for Wireless Autonomous Transducer Solutions and for Systemsin-Foil. 

A key feature of Holst Centre is its partnership model with industry and 

academia around shared roadmaps and programs, a highlight in the presentation. 

It is this kind of cross-fertilization that enables Holst Centre to tune its scientific 

strategy to industrial needs. 

Holst Centre was set up in 2005 by IMEC ( Flanders, Belgium) and TNO ( The 

Netherlands) with support from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and the 

Government of Flanders. Gilles Holst is a Dutch R&D pioneer and first Director at 

Philips Research, the company that triggered the Holst Centre initiative. 

Located in Eindhoven, Holst Centre today has over 150 employees and a 

commitment from over 15 industrial partners. (www. Holstcentre.com) 

15:10 From idea to business by Joost van Beek, NXP 

From invention to product, is it luck or wisdom? In this presentation an 

attempt will be made to answer this question. The creation, development, and 

industrialization of high-tech products will be described. This is done using 

RF-MEMS technology as an example. The RF-MEMS technology was initiated 

at Philips Research 10 years ago, then transferred to NXP Semiconductors, and 

earlier this year spun-out to EPCOS. Different factors determining the success or 

failure of bringing a new technology to the market place will be elaborated. 

15:35 Closing session 

At the end of the symposium tickets for an Amsterdam canal cruise are available 

for participants.

High-Performance Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Phased 

Arrays Using CMOS and SiGe RFICs 

Gabriel M. Rebeiz, University of California, San Diego, USA 

The talk shows that one can build high-performance all-RF phased 

arrays covering distinct frequency bands, from 2 GHz to 100 GHz, 

using CMOS/SiGe RFICs. Designs include an 8-element 8-16 GHz 

phased array receiver, a 16 element 30-50 GHz transmit phased 

array, and a 4-element T/R array at 30-40 GHz. The talk also covers 

new array architectures (multiple beams, multiple polarizations) 

which can be achieved. 

Gabriel Rebeiz is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering 

at the University of California, San Diego. His group has developed 

one of the most complex mm-wave RFICs to-date, a 16-element 

phased array transmitter covering 30-50 GHz.

Next Generation Networks: Challenges and Hybrid Solutions 

Sastri L. Kota, Senior Scientist, Harris Corporation (USA), Adjunct Professor, 

University of Oulu (Finland) 

The next generation global communications consisting of mobile, 

wireless and wired services become pervasive with a widely-spread 

use of devices. As the demand for “anytime, anywhere and anyway” 

communications increases, the Next Generation Networks (NGN) 

will grow faster supporting user affordable and transparent device 

technologies for triple play services e.g. voice, internet and TV. This 

presentation will address Next Generation Network architectures 

and technologies for future systems deployment offering greater 

bandwidths, mobility, quality of service (QoS) level guarantees and 

security. To fully realize future systems, many technical, business, 

standardization and regulatory challenges must be addressed. As a 

part of this talk, possible solutions like a hybrid satellite-terrestrial 

wireless network model offering ubiquitous communications, 

network scalability and spectrum efficiencies will be introduced. A 

discussion on “net centric” architecture with “all IP” at the core and 

a variety of access technologies and their standards development 

status will be provided. The presentation concludes with a few 

thoughts on social implications of wireless mobile pervasive 

communications on a fast growing “personalized creative” society. 

Sastri Kota is a Senior Scientist in Harris Corporation and Adjunct 

Professor in University of Oulu, Finland. He has held technical and 

management positions at Loral, Lockheed Martin, SRI International, 

the MITRE Corp, and Xerox Corp, contributed to military and 

commercial satellite communication systems and broadband 

network research and development. Dr. Kota received his Ph.D from 

the University of Oulu, Finland; Electrical Engineer’s Degree from 

Northeastern University, Boston, MA; MSEE from IIT; BSEE from BITS, 

India.

PAMIR - a Multifunctional Phased Array SAR/GMTI Sensor: 

Objectives, Design and Realisation 

Joachim H.G. Ender, FGAN-FHR, Wachtberg, Germany 

At FGAN the experimental X-band radar PAMIR (Phased Array Multifunctional 

Imaging Radar) has been developed to demonstrate the capabilities of future long 

range airborne reconnaissance systems. The variety of operational modes as high 

resolution SAR and GMTI is achieved with a wideband phased array frontend. 

In this presentation, the objectives and the principle design of this system are 

described. 

Joachim Ender is the head of FGAN’s research institute for high frequency physics 

and radar techniques (FHR). He started the PAMIR programme several years ago. 

11:20 – 11:40 

PAMIR - The Reconfigurable Radar Front-End 

Helmut Wilden, FGAN-FHR, Wachtberg, Germany 

Two reconfigurable radar frontend configurations for the PAMIR SAR/GMTI 

imaging radar, an experimental active phased array system with a very high 

instantaneous bandwidth of 1.82 GHz in X-band are described: a pod mounted 

antenna structure accommodating a linear time and phase steered array antenna 

with a length of 4.25 m and a two-dimensional interferometric antenna aperture. 

Both RF-frontends are based on identical antenna subarrays performing the 

required beamforming by use of switchable true time delay networks with time 

increments equivalent to a fraction of a wavelength. 

Helmut Wilden is since 1977 scientist at FGAN on the area of phased array 

technology and systems and since 2002 project leader of the PAMIR frontend 

development. 

11:40 – 12:00 

PAMIR - New Results on SAR and GMTI 

Andreas R. Brenner, FGAN-FHR, Wachtberg, Germany 

By means of various PAMIR radar modes very high resolution SAR, interferometric 

SAR and ISAR can be demonstrated with a resolution in the order of 10 cm and 

below. With respect to moving objects current results of along-track interferometry 

and a multi-channel scan-MTI mode will be presented as well. The talk concludes 

with an overview of experimental results in context of bistatic imaging. 

Andreas R. Brenner is head of the department Array-based Radar Imaging of FHR 

and since 2003 responsible for the realisation of PAMIR and the exploitation of its 

radar modes. 

12:00 – 12:45 

Advanced Technologies Enabled Via Active Electronically Scanned 

Array (AESA) Radar 

William T. Gardner, Barry M. Alexia, Mike Lawrence, Raytheon Space & Airborne Systems, 

USA. 

The emergence of AESA based military radar systems has enabled demonstration 

and fielding of significant advanced technologies. These technologies are providing 

the basis on which next generation capabilities will become available to the 

modern warfighter. Great progress has been made over the last several years in 

the development and fielding of AESA based airborne military radar and now is 

the time to leverage next generation capabilities enabled via the AESA. 

Mr. Mike Lawrence will present this keynote paper. He was Chief Engineer on the 

ASTOR program, where Raytheon developed and implemented a dual-mode AESA 

radar for the UK. He is currently Chief Engineer on MP-RTIP, the USAF flagship 

AESA program for ISR applications.

LOFAR - A European Large Array System for Astronomy 

Marco de Vos, technical director ASTRON, Dwingeloo, The Netherlands 

LOFAR is a large distributed radio-telescope developed by ASTRON, 

combining the concepts of phased array technology and aperture 

synthesis. LOFAR operates at frequencies between 30 and 240 MHz. 

By applying early digitization, many functions can be shifted in the 

digital domain, adding flexibility and robustness against man-made 

interference. 

Through European extensions the Dutch LOFAR will become an 

international facility, adding many technical challenges. 

Marco de Vos did his PhD in astronomy and has been involved 

in several instrument development projects, including the LOFAR 

radio-telescope; he is currently director of R&D at ASTRON, the 

Netherlands Institute for Radio-Astronomy. 

16:30 - 17:00 

Modern Radar 

Willem A. Hol, THALES Nederland B.V., Hengelo, The Netherlands 

The crucial role of radar in Defence and Security operations 

is highlighted. Trends in modern radar/sensor systems are 

elaborated. Scalable and re-configurable architectures, RF-frontends 

and processing enable a fast response to changed missions 

and capabilities and provide multi-mission radars with superior 

availability. Finally, the application and integration of modern radar 

is illustrated with the Integrated Mast provided with multiple sensor 

arrays and communication antennas. 

Willem Hol graduated at TU-Delft in 1979 and joined Hollandse 

Signaalapparaten B.V. (now Thales) where he held different positions 

in the field of R&D of radar and sensor systems. His current position 

is Technical Director Surface Radar.

EuRaMIG Workshop 

Chair: Franz Dielacher, Infineon Technologies 

08:30 - 12:30 

Promoting the European Research Base 

in RF/Microwave Technology 

Scope: 

Although it is evident that RF/microwave technology constitutes 

a vital component for a broad range of European companies, 

the subject itself is almost invisible within European research 

agendas such as the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). 

In response to this, the European Radio and Microwave Interest 

Group (EuRaMIG) has been recently launched as a network of 

companies, institutes and universities in Europe to gather around 

common visions and objectives in RF/microwave technology 

(http://www.chalmers.se/ghz/EN/eu-mw-interest-group). 

As a result, more powerful and coordinated recommendations for 

actions can be given, e.g. to the European Commission (EC) or to 

communities outside our own field. This workshop will describe the 

current status of the EuRaMIG initiative, including reports on its ongoing 

discussions with the EC and with adjacent strategic research 

agendas. Members from the EuRaMIG core group representing several 

system- and component houses as well as academic institutions 

in Europe will present their initial views and recommendations for 

the promotion of education, research and innovation across the 

full range of RF/Microwave technology in Europe. All RF/Microwave 

engineers from industry and academia, including students, are invited 

to participate actively in the workshop and to share their opinions 

and suggestions. 

Speakers: 

Industry representatives and leading edge researchers will present 

hot topics and important business related issues from the RF- and 

Microwave area in Europe. The workshop will be concluded with a 

panel discussion with all the speakers as panellists.

An integrated Government - Industry Approach Towards Long 

Term Sensor Innovation 

Victor Rademakers, Dutch Ministry of Defence 

The nature of warfare of armed forces changes continuously. Furthermore 

it is expected that the pressure on defence budgets will remain high. This 

demands for improved sensor systems. Long term sensor roadmaps with a 

scope of about 10 years are imperative. Roadmaps are implemented in close 

cooperation between government, (national) industry, research laboratories 

and universities in order to achieve maximum synergy. Also international 

cooperation is pursued, e.g. through EDA structures.

Abstract 

The increasing demand in wireless communication applications 

has fostered new systems focusing on seamlessly integrating 

different wireless technologies. However, enlarging bandwidths 

while keeping the handset costs low is not yet enough. To cope 

with multiband-multimode operation, linearity is a critical factor. 

The power amplifier (PA), apart from being the most power 

consuming circuit, is also the main responsible for nonlinear 

distortion in terminals. Among analog linearizers, feed-forward 

may be an appropriate solution regarding bandwidth demands. 

Nevertheless modern standards use high speed envelope signals 

presenting not only significant bandwidth and PAPR values but also 

memory effects. Digital solutions take advantage of the already 

existing DSP (or FPGA) devices in modern transmitters (to cope 

with signal coding, protection or modulation), thus maintaining 

the power consumption and hardware costs. Most relevant digital 

strategies include polar transmitters, LINC transmitters and digital 

predistorters, the last one especially sensitive to the PA model. 

Besides, PA designers may use complementary solutions such as 

signal clipping strategies (joint operation with linearizers), or to 

use structures capable to reduce linearization needs by improving 

efficiency. This workshop presents an overview of the main PA 

linearization solutions regarding new wireless systems.

Advances in Characterization and Modelling of 

Emerging Low-Power and High-Power Devices 

Organizers

Abstract 

In recent years, several new microwave device technologies have 

been developed and are entering the marketplace, including 

GaN & SiC FETs, LDMOS, SiGe & III-V HBTs, and RF CMOS. 

There is a significant advance in the output power generated 

and high frequency limits of these devices with corresponding 

improvement of reliability. Many topologies and solutions to 

extract models are reported in the recent years like improved 

small signal and large signal extraction methods, implementing 

thermal effects and taking into account the trapping. Despite the 

hard work on the device improvement of all these components, 

devices are not perfect and they will not be perfect anytime soon. 

That is why we need to address many of these problems in order 

to help device developers and provide reliable models for circuit 

designers. 

There have been complimentary developments in nonlinear 

device characterization and modelling methods during this time, 

such as the large-signal network analyzer, fast and high power 

pulse measurement systems at DC and RF, improvement of RF and 

LFN noise measurement & characterization systems. We have also 

seen a significant change in Small Signal, RF and Noise, Nonlinear 

Device Modelling Techniques like Table-Based, Neural, Equivalent 

Circuit Empirical modelling approach and their mixtures. 

There is a notable advance in integration of several simulation 

engines, in "Global Modelling" methods. This is supplemented 

with advance parameter extraction algorithms including 

multivariate function-fitting for generating the model functions. 

In this workshop, we bring together the leading experts in these 

fields and researchers from different places to present and discuss 

an up-to-date view of a range of nonlinear RF and microwave 

transistor characterization and modelling methods, reviewing 

established practices and presenting new techniques.

Abstract 

The Herschel Satellite and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array 

(ALMA) are two very large sub-millimeter and Far Infra Red (FIR) 

astronomy projects that will come into operation in this decade. 

Both are ambitious projects to advance the state-of-the-art in 

(sub)-millimeter-wave astronomy by several orders of magnitude 

along different dimensions: angular resolution, sensitivity, spectral 

coverage and dynamic range. Their observational capabilities will 

address forefront questions in astronomy including the formation 

of galaxies after the Big Bang and the creation of planetary 

systems around other stars, to mention only two of the problems 

it will tackle. 

Herschel will be launched on an Ariane-5 rocket together with 

the Planck satellite, the first European mission that studies the 

Cosmic Microwave Background, with receiver bands from 25 

GHz to 1000 GHz and with unrivaled sensitivity and precision 

(δT/T ~10-6 ). The Planck mission will become a major source of 

information relevant to cosmological and astrophysical studies 

such as testing theories of the early Universe and the origin of 

the cosmic structure. 

Herschel with three scientific instruments, cameras and 

spectrometers, with an operating frequency range from 500 to 

1900 GHz, will be above the atmosphere, and measurements 

can be made in wavelength regions where astronomical signals 

cannot reach the earth’s surface. One of Herschel‘s instruments, 

HIFI, is a heterodyne instrument, and its design is optimized 

for high resolution spectroscopy (δλ/λ~10-6 ) of interstellar 

molecules, such as water vapour, and to make frequency scans 

over the entire frequency range. 

ALMA, a truly global project with North American, Japanese 

and European partners, is to operate 66 antennas with 10 

receiver bands in the 30 GHz to 950 GHz range, using HEMTS 

and SIS mixers. With the transportable antennas the array can 

be configured to achieve Hubble-type angular resolution at mmwavelengths 

with a spectral resolving power as in HIFI. 

All three projects make use of newly developed RF technology, 

ranging from cryogenic low-noise amplifiers and superconducting 

mixers, W-band power amplifiers, Schottky diode multipliers, to 

high frequency digital electronics.

Organizers

Abstract 

This workshop will treat reconfigurable and tunable RF systems, 

with emphasis on applications, system architectures and 

component technologies. 

Tunable and reconfigurable systems are growing in importance 

since the RF spectrum allocation to cellular and other wireless 

applications show an ever increasing chaotic picture. With 

the rising interest in low frequency bands up to 1 GHz for 

communication in large cell sizes the picture promises not to 

become simpler since this frequency range is already densely 

populated. The way forward is the development of wireless 

terminals, cell phones and base stations that are able to use 

multiple frequency bands, while still meeting requirements on 

efficiency and spurious signal suppression. 

Also other applications benefit from reconfigurable and switchable 

technologies. Such technologies are for example used to increase 

power amplifier efficiencies for modulated signals with high 

peak to average power ratios and to compensate for antenna 

mismatch in cell phones caused by hand-antenna interactions. 

A wide range of tunable and switchable technologies have 

been developed over the past years to address the problems 

mentioned above. This workshop will give examples of a variety of 

technologies and of the applications in which they are applied.

How will Software Defined Radio Change the Future 

of Radio Communication? 

Organizers 

Rob van Heijster, Ronald van Waard 

TNO Defence, Security and Safety, The Netherlands 

Abstract 

Software Defined Radio (SDR) already made a start in the early 

1980s. At that time it received little attention, being more a 

concept than an available technology. However developments 

in technology especially in real time digital processing and high 

speed AD conversion provided the vehicle that SDR needed to 

grow to maturity. 

The launch itself of SDR was not of technological but of operational 

origin. The armed forces found themselves in the middle of an ever 

increasing number of different radio types ranging from several 

tens for given army applications to a hundred on a large combat 

ship. These numbers are still increasing and led to a strong wish 

to stop this tendency. Software Defined Radio was identified as 

the prime technology to reduce the number of radios. 

To exploit the full advantages of SDR a vast technological 

building is needed. Although one could assume high speed 

digital processing is the basis of SDR, a great number of different 

technologies is needed to exploit SDR. The need to run “any 

waveform” on “any platform” requires highly complex system 

architectures and also requires coverage of a large part of the 

spectrum. Reconfigurable antenna and front-end technology is of 

prime importance for SDR. Also software technology and signal 

processing play a dominant role in SDR. Needless to mention that 

a good match between “any waveform” on “any platform” is 

depending on good and effective standards. 

The workshop will give a comprehensive overview of present 

day SDR. This overview will not only cover the technology and 

architectures used, but also put them in their operational context 

thereby answering the question “what problem is solved by 

SDR”, “why do we need it” and “how will SDR change the future 

of radio communication".

Emerging Technologies for Hybrid Terrestrial Wireless 

and Mobile Satellite Communications 

Organizer 

Nader Alagha, European Space Agency, The Netherlands 

Abstract 

The role of broadband satellite communications in the global 

networks is widely recognized. Emerging satellite communications 

technologies rely on a complementary role of mobile satellite 

networks and the terrestrial wireless networks to deliver seamless 

services to the end users in a global scale. 

A relevant example is the new generations of satellite multimedia 

broadcast systems. The goal is to provide multimedia services to 

the mobile users in a cost-effective manner. In early 2007, a new 

standard for broadcast services to handheld devices via satellite 

(DVB-SH) was introduced that has provision for hybrid satellite/ 

terrestrial architecture to achieve a coherent combination of 

satellite and terrestrial signals. 

On a different front, the standardization of broadband interactive 

systems for mobile applications is ongoing as an extension of the 

existing DVB-RCS Standard. The target application for broadband 

interactive services to mobile will consist of IP connectivity for 

the Internet as well as IP Multimedia services via satellite as well 

as terrestrial gap fillers. Possible scenarios for such system will 

include aircraft market, maritime market and fast trains. 

This Workshop will aim to provide to the audience a visibility on 

recent innovations, challenges and future trends in the research 

and development of mobile satellite systems.

Abstract 

Wireless and mobile telecommunication applications in the lower 

microwave frequency range have become commonplace. To be 

able to offer higher data rates to the demanding market, research 

is gradually focusing towards millimeter wave frequencies. 

The advantage of millimeter waves is that they are capable 

of providing wide (in the absolute sense) bandwidth for very 

high-speed wireless access. Next, millimeter wave networks are 

becoming viable due to cost reduction in semiconductor devices. 

This workshop aims at informing the attendees about the recent 

developments in this area. The workshop includes overview talks 

on emerging wideband millimeter wave applications. Recent 

advances in circuit design using various device technologies will 

be covered in great detail. As these progresses are intrinsically 

connected with developments in modelling and measurement 

techniques, those aspects are addressed as well. Ample time 

will be foreseen to allow interactions between attendees and 

speakers.

Abstract 

For over a decade the global Radio Astronomy community, has 

been working towards the realisation of a radio telescope known 

as 'Square Kilometre Array'. This telescope will not only be very 

large but it will have a very broad operating frequency range 

from 100 MHz to over 10 GHz. Clearly a single antenna is not 

likely to achieve the required bandwidth and so several different 

types of antennas are expected to cover the required bandwidth. 

Much progress has been made towards the realisation of such a 

telescope and presently the radio astronomy community is busy 

with the design, development and the measurement of several 

demonstrators, to cover the required broad frequency range. 

During this workshop, an update of the design of four such 

demonstrators will be presented, by engineers working on these 

projects.

System and Technology Aspects of Future Active 

Phased Array Radars 

Organizers 

Johannes van Bezouwen, EADS Defence Electronics, Germany 

Wolfgang Holpp, EADS Defence Electronics, Germany 

Abstract 

The scope and tasks of future military, commercial and scientific 

radar applications are increasingly growing and becoming more 

and more sophisticated. Today's radars rely on latest microwave 

technology, micro-electronics and high speed data processing. 

AESA (Active Electronically Steered Array) antennas provide these 

systems with an enormous degree of operational flexibility. They 

pave the way for Active Phased Array Radars with enhanced 

capabilities, marking a quantum leap in radar technology. The 

future will also bring into service conformal active phased array 

antennas, which follow the curvatures of a given platform, 

thus yield a high degree of installation freedom and potentially 

an omni-directional field-of-view. The technological basis of 

Transmit/Receive-Modules will move from Gallium-Arsenide to 

Gallium-Nitride, promising remarkable improvement in efficiency, 

output power and miniaturisation. Sub-array AESA architectures 

and multi-channel receivers enable digital beam forming (DBF) 

and highly advanced signal processing techniques like Adaptive 

Beam Forming (ABF) and Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) 

for significantly improved clutter, interference and jammer 

suppression. Apart from classical radar operation, also passive 

and multi-static radar will benefit from Active Phased Array 

Radar technology. The predominant application areas for this 

radar technology will be fixed and mobile ground-based, naval, 

airborne and space-borne systems. The workshop will focus 

on these four application fields and will give an overview of 

operational requirements, future systems and technology aspects, 

as well as more detailed information of selected up-to-date 

systems in operation for each area.

WFR-14 (EuMC/EuMIC) 

System in Package Technologies for Microwave and 

Millimeter Wave Integration 

Abstract 

Today’s wireless technology revolution is creating a large number 

of new wireless systems for instant voice and data availability 

at any place at any time. The requirements for these systems 

become continuously more stringent: smaller size, weight, higher 

bandwidth and frequencies and lower power consumption at 

an ever-decreasing cost. The integration of high quality passives 

and interconnects has become a major objective in the further 

evolution of these portable communications systems. On-chip 

realization of RF building blocks such as filters, high-Q inductors, 

switches, tuneable functions etc. using standard technologies are 

being hindered by major technological or economical difficulties. 

Traditionally, microwave and millimeter wave components and 

systems have been perceived as low-volume high-end products. 

Due to the advances in CMOS devices, continuously higher 

frequencies can be used on-chip, resulting in new integration 

and packaging requirements for emerging mm-wave applications 

such as wHDMi, anti-collision radar, … In order to make these 

systems affordable, solutions are needed to realize the packaging 

(including ICs, antenna and off-chip passives) at mm-wave 

frequencies. Hence, the technologies should allow for low cost 

mass production, and yet give a sufficient performance at 

mm-wave frequencies. 

Various candidate technologies are being explored, such as LTCC 

with embedded passives, advanced PCB and thin-film integrated 

passives. 

This workshop aims at discussing various solutions to solve 

the module integration problem for microwave and mm-wave 

subsystems including antennas with speakers both from the 

industry and research community. It will cover commercially 

available packaging methods as well as emerging technologies.

Advances in Model-Based HPA Design 



Organizers 

John Atherton, Win Semiconductor, United Kingdom 

Yusuke Tajima, Auriga Measurement Systems, USA 

Abstract 

The incorporation of moderate to high power amplifier, > 20mW, 

designs in current and emerging wireless standards is forcing 

changes in current design processes. Accurate non-linear electrothermal 

models have impeded the domination of simulation 

based design over labour intensive and time consuming loadpull-data-based 

design and “build-test-tune” approach to HPA 

design. However, as designers and modellers continue to work 

closer together this situation is slowly changing. Far more 

accurate models are emerging improvements in the convergence 

and accuracy of harmonic balance simulators are leading to 

simulation-based design success, even first-pass in some cases. 

Many challenges remain to the varied and increasingly complex 

requirements facing HPA designers today. These include, but are 

not limited to, achieving high efficiency without sacrificing power, 

balancing the DC power/RF linearity trade-off, predicting and 

designing for high performance under wideband multi-carrier 

complex digital modulation with high peak-to-average ratio 

requirements, and simulation and optimization using models in 

the time and frequency domain. 

The purpose of this workshop is to bring microwave amplifier 

designers and device modellers together to discuss their 

requirements and experiences in large signal device modelling. 

We will hear about what works and also what significant 

challenges remain and where currently available models are 

falling short in providing the simulation results required to create 

a successful design.

Abstract 

This EuRAD 2008 workshop is dedicated to Radar Evaluation 

by means of measurements or simulations. As Equipment 

Evaluation is a government procurement prerogative, four talks 

will be presented by Government Laboratories or Establishments, 

such as Danish MoD (Denmark), DGA / CELAR (France), Naval 

establishment (The Netherlands), DSTL (UK). The workshop will 

cover the Search, Fire Control and Multifunction Surface Radar 

applications, mainly in the Naval field, which is more demanding, 

due to the various sizes of targets and to the millimetre and 

centimetre wavelengths. The papers will present the very up to 

date methods used for measurements, for simulations and for 

the cross-validation between measurements and simulations, as 

well as the perspectives in this field. Two topics will be specially 

highlighted: NATO trials with Danish MRS and Radar simulation 

platform by DGA.

Ad-Hoc Radar Sensor Networks 

Organizer 

Albert Huizing, TNO Defence, Security and Safety, 



Abstract 

There is a growing need for sensor information in a wide 

variety of applications. For example, military operations require 

high quality information of moving objects and human activity 

in urban environments with severe line-of-sight restrictions. 

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board sensor suites 

are a popular approach to this operational need but UAVs 

generally lack the persistence and all-weather capability that is 

required. Potentially, unattended ground sensors connected by 

an ad-hoc wireless network offer the performance, persistence, 

all-weather capability, and robustness that is needed. However, 

some major improvements in the information architecture, 

information extraction algorithms, communication bandwidth, 

and energy consumption must be made to make these ad-hoc 

sensor networks a viable approach for military operations in 

urban terrain. 

Other areas where ad-hoc sensor networks can play a significant 

role are security, transportation, and environmental monitoring. 

Security applications include the surveillance of critical 

infrastructures such as pipelines, airports and harbors where 

traditional single sensor solutions do not meet the coverage 

demands. In transportation, wireless sensor networks can 

measure the density of vehicle traffic on motorways or congested 

parts of a city. Environmental changes in forests and oceans may 

be monitored by sensor networks that measure temperature, 

greenhouse gases, salinity, etc. 

The workshop is organized as follows. The first talk by Evert 

Woudenberg addresses the impact of changing operational 

requirements on the design of radars that are connected in a 

wireless network. The second talk by Tony Zyweck (replacing 

Chris Baker who recently changed job from University College 

London to Australian National University) describes how time 

and frequency diversity may be used in a sensor network to 

increase the spatial resolution. The third talk by Maarten Ditzel 

investigates the trade-off between communication bandwidth 

and tracking accuracy of a wireless sensor network. Finally, the 

fourth talk by Mario LaManna shows how a sensor network 

simulator may be used to perform a statistical analysis of network 

performance in terms of capacity, data delivery delay and energy 

consumption.

LTE - From Concepts to Simulation to RF Design 

and Troubleshooting 

To ensure the competitiveness of 3G systems into the future, a long-term 

evolution (LTE) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project’s (3GPP) UMTS 

is being defined. This workshop will cover the timeline behind LTE, a 

context provided to position it against the alternative 3.9G technologies 

such as HSPA+ and WiMAX. There will be a brief introduction to the 

new OFDM air interface and more detail on the new uplink transmission 

scheme, SC-FDMA. The paper will give an overview of the physical layer 

frame structure. The paper will then go into a discussion on design flow 

from concept-to-test for 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE). An algorithm 

development methodology will be shown for coding key algorithms in 

the LTE coding/decoding chain. Baseband algorithms are then combined 

with the RF system design to examine various system level trade-offs, 

including the effects of baseband bit width, phase noise, and power 

amplifier non-linearities on key system performance metrics such as Error 

Vector Magnitude (EVM). Uncoded raw Bit Error Rate (BER) will also be 

investigated. 


From Analog to Digital interfaces – the Test 

Revolution in LTE, WiMAX handset ICs 

The Analog to Digital migration of RF-IC to BB-IC I/Q interfaces will be 

ubiquitous in new applications such as LTE, driven by cost, power and 

data bandwidth requirements. The new standardized, high speed serial, 

packet based interconnects will often coexist with legacy analog I/Q 

interfaces between RF-IC and BB-IC. 

This coexistence is driving changes in test methodologies and platforms 

for baseband and RF-IC designs as well as for system integration. Crossdomain 

measurements between analog, digital and RF domains become 

a must for debug, characterization and integration. In this workshop, 

we will review design and test challenges associated with cross-domain 

technologies and the adoption of high speed serial interconnects for 

LTE chipsets, and will show demonstrations of physical and protocol 

measurements. 


Advanced MIMO Signal Generation and 

Analysis 

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. Finally, 

we will discuss how to efficiently generate and analyze multi-channel 

signals for advanced wireless communication standards such as 3GPP 

LTE and WiMAX. 


Adaptive Antenna Tuning for efficient design 

of handheld wireless appliances 

Antenna Designers today, are put under pressure of the Network 

Operators to improve the performance of the antenna systems under 

all operating conditions. Some network providers are willing to pay an 

increased value of $2 per handset for a 2dB improvement of the antenna 

system. To reach that goal, designers need an EDA toolset that helps 

them cope with the challenges of high frequency, highly integrated and 

at the same time highly outsourced design work. Increased outsourcing 

as we see in the Wireless appliance industry has seriously increased 

quality risks. Those can be reduced if the various components such as 

the antenna, the circuit and the human manipulation are simulated 

and optimized in the same environment. We will show how the ADS 

RF design front-end platform is used for EM, system and circuit cosimulation 

to optimize an adaptive tuning mechanism for antennas 

inside a wireless appliance during human manipulation optimization will 

be highlighted as well. 

Wednesday 29th October, 09:30 – 10:50 

Advanced Nonlinear Device Characterization 

Utilizing New Nonlinear Vector Network 

Analyzer 

This workshop will focus on Agilent’s new Nonlinear Vector Network 

Analyzer (NVNA) measurement capability. A simple measurement 

configuration, calibration process and new phase calibration module 

provide vector corrected nonlinear measurements from 10 MHz to 

26.5 GHz. This new 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. The resulting NVNA 

measurements representing the nonlinear device characteristics can be 

imported into simulation and analysis tools such as Agilent’s Advanced 

Design System. 


X-Parameters: New Paradigm for Interoperable 

Measurement, Modeling, and Simulation of 

Nonlinear Microwave and RF Components 

X-parameters are the mathematically rigorous superset of S-parameters, 

applicable to nonlinear (and linear) components under both largesignal 

and small-signal conditions. X-parameters take into account 

mismatch at fundamental and harmonic frequencies, and correctly 

predict effects of source harmonics on DUT response. X-parameters 

enable the hierarchical design of chains of nonlinear components under


large-signal drive, such as multi-stage power amplifiers, multi-chip RF 

modules, and RF systems including amplifiers and mixers. X-parameters 

measured by Agilent’s new nonlinear vector network analyzer (NVNA) 

can be used, immediately, in Agilent ADS, to design nonlinear circuits. 

The ability to measure, model, and simulate with X-parameters, is a 

big step towards doing for nonlinear components and systems, what Sparameters 

do for linear components and systems. This paper introduces 

X-parameter theory and a few key examples of its applications, including 

its superiority to “hot S22” in accounting for output match of amplifiers 

under large-signal drive. 


Advanced Amplifier and Mixer Measurement 

Techniques with the Agilent PNA-X Network 

Analyzer 

In this workshop we will discuss advanced measurement techniques 

for active devices, including Noise Figure, swept frequency Gain 

Compression and swept Intermodulation Distortion measurements on 

amplifiers. We will show calibration and measurement procedures for 

differential amplifiers under true mode stimulus conditions. We will also 

discuss techniques for making measurements on Differential and I/Q 

mixers. Our discussions will include measurement setups, calibrations 

methodologies and discussions about optimizing measurement accuracy, 

speed and best practices for taking full advantage of PNA-X’s Single 

Connection-Multiple Measurements (SCMM) architecture. 

Based on the popular PNA network analyzer, The Agilent N5242A PNA-X 

Network Analyzer is a relatively new instrument that was designed from 

the ground up to be an active device measurement platform. It was 

designed to not only be ATE system friendly but to actually reduce the 

complexity of the ATE systems in which it may be deployed. Throughout 

the workshop, these and other features will be highlighted. 

Thursday 30th October, 09:30 – 10:50 

Advances in RF Probing: Inductor and Circuit 

Measurement 

Cascade Microtech Inc. 

Developing high performance RF circuits in any 

technology can be a daunting task. It is important to 

start with effective component models for simulations 

of circuit behavior and effectively measure the circuit 

behavior of the fabricated design. This workshop will survey recent 

developments in device and circuit measurement techniques involving RF 

probes. Inductors can be particularly difficult to measure and often the 

measured and electromagnetic simulation data disagree. We will look at 

how an inductor and the measurement system interact and demonstrate 

a recently published method for de-embedding the measurement system 

from the device behavior. This method has been implemented in WinCal, 

Cascade Microtech’s Calibration and Measurement software, using its 

powerful data post processing capabilities. 

Additional topics will include advances in calibration methods for twoport 

and multi-port vector network analyzers and production probing 

fixturing. 


Signal Generation for Military Communications 

Modern military radios leverage the latest commercial radio systems, 

but exceed these systems in flexibility, performance and functionality. 

New and custom waveforms must be created well before standard 

test equipment offering these waveforms become available. This paper 

includes a discussion on generating waveforms analogous to commercial 

voice and data communication services, generating custom waveforms 

from MATLAB and ADS, methods for generating frequency hopping 

signals, waveform record and playback, and streaming playback of long 

and unique waveforms. 

Other topics include how to create common signals for communication 

test, including notched signals for Noise Power Ratio (NPR) 

measurements, multi-tone and multicarrier signals, and the creation of 

custom waveforms; and how to download and optimize waveforms on a 

vector signal generator to achieve the highest fidelity signals, including 

wideband, for test and characterization. 


Design and analysis of a 2.4GHz polarization 

diversity printed dipole antenna with

In this seminar application note we will take you through a complete 

design process to design and analysis of a 2.4GHz polarization 

diversity printed dipole antenna with integrated balun and polarization 

switching circuit for WLAN applications using ADS. Special attention 

will be given to the effective use of Momentum and EMDS-for ADS 

for electromagnetic modelling. The use of layout, circuit modelling 

simulation, EM optimization will be highlighted as well. 


High Yield MMIC Front-To-Back Design with 

ADS 2008 

The art of designing MMICs to satisfy speed to market at the lowest 

cost is attainable with robust design methodology implemented within 

a productive design environment. This paper shows you how to take 

advantage of the latest productivity enhancements in ADS 2008 to 

accomplish this. Beginning from selecting a process design kit from the 

widest choice of MMIC foundries in a high-frequency EDA tool, you 

start your journey in this optimal MMIC design flow. Tightly integrated 

circuit, statistical, electromagnetic and system simulations are used in 

turn to efficiently optimize the performance, yield and wireless standards 

compliance of your MMIC within a fun-to-use design environment.

Location: Room G 

Organiser 

Pr Michel Begue, (Session Chair), Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Agilent 

Technologies. Each session will be presented by Agilent Technologies and 

industry expert in each domain. 

Engineers, future EE PhDs working today in education and research 

are faced with increasingly complex measurement challenges and 

rapidly changing technology. A strong foundation in basic measurement 

techniques is essential for success. These workshops will improve your 

understanding of fundamental RF and Microwave measurements, including 

real applications, instruments hands-on, thus improving your efficiency and 

effectiveness whether you are in research or design & verification. 


The Basics of Waveform Creation 

Waveforms customized for specific applications are most often created 

programmatically, within a simulation environment like ADS or a 

programming environment such as MATLAB, VEE or one of many other 

tools. The paper will survey these waveform creation methods providing 

insight into which solution may be best for specific applications. It will 

review the basics on the signals required to test a variety of products, 

from amplifiers to highly secure communication systems. These signals 

may be as simple as a single frequency sinusoid or as complex as a 

digitally modulated carrier. The paper will also address the basics of signal 

generators and their applications. We will review block diagrams where 

appropriate and also discuss signal generator specifications. 


Wideband Interconnect Characterization 

Presenter: Dr. Ing Uwe Arz Physikalisch - Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) 

The course will cover microwave on-wafer measurement methods and 

their applications to electronic interconnect characterization. The course 

will begin with a tutorial on microwave frequency-domain and on-wafer 

measurement fundamentals. We will then discuss the extension of these 

frequency-domain methods to the characterization of single-moded 

high-speed interconnects on lossless and lossy substrates, including 

VLSI interconnects. In the last part of the tutorial we will talk about 

the experimental characterization of multi-conductor transmission lines 

carrying two fundamental propagation modes. Fundamental differences 

between symmetric and asymmetric coupled lines will be highlighted. 


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. 


Time domain Analysis using a Network 

Analyzer – Theory and practical examples 

Time domain analysis is useful for measuring impedance values along 

a transmission line and for evaluating a device problem (discontinuity) 

in time or distance. Time domain display provides a more intuitive and 

direct look at the device under test (DUT) characteristics and gives 

more meaningful information concerning the broadband response of 

a transmission system than other measuring techniques by showing 

the effect of each discontinuity as a function of time or distance. This 

document will focus on time domain analysis (displays) generated from 

vector network analyzers (VNAs). The intent is to provide engineers with 

frequency domain background, an in-depth view of how a time domain 

display is created from frequency domain data (S-parameters) and how to 

apply the time domain display to common problems in RF systems 


Design tips on high performance oscillators 

– effective use of a signal source analyzer and a 

network analyzer 

This tutorial offers several examples of design considerations on highperformance 

oscillators in RF and microwaves. 

A good example of collaborative work shows that a network analyzer 

and a signal source analyzer are efficiently combined to design a lownoise 

stable oscillator. Particularly focusing on the relation between 

base-band noise and modulation noise, a new approach to utilize RF 

CMOS components in oscillator design will be discussed. It is well known 

that frequency stability and phase noise performance of high frequency 

oscillators may heavily depend on circuit structure (electrically and 

mechanically). Besides mechanical instability, oscillator’s circuit topology 

or configuration difference often results in different stability in frequency 

or phase even if the same resonator or frequency-tuning component is 

used. 

Keeping the PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) of an oscillator higher is 

also very important because the poor PSRR tends to degrade oscillator’s 

phase fluctuation and amplitude noise directly when the oscillator is 

operated with a noisy power supply. 


Understand and Improve Oscilloscope 

Measurements at High-Frequencies 

Refresh and deepen oscilloscope measurement basics. Find out about 

the importance of active and differential probing in today’s state of the 

art designs to achieve accurate results. We will continue with the latest 

trends in mixed analogue and digital design. The Agilent Mixed Signal 

Oscilloscope will be used to demonstrate how you can uncover details 

inside those mixed circuits like never before. Finally the aspects of high 

frequency signal characterization are covered including some practical 

jitter measurements

Dear Colleagues, 

Welcome to Defence IQ’s Military Radar 2008! 


It’s a well known fact that radar technology offers today’s warfighter a critical advantage. With the ability to guide weapons more 

accurately, provide early warning of incoming threats and inform deployed forces of enemy positions, surveillance technology provides 

the mission-critical information that can ensure success and save lives at the front line. More than any other system at the military’s 

disposal, radar continues to evolve and enhance current and future operations. 

However, the speed at which the technology is developing and the huge range of different applications that this makes possible, means 

that it is increasingly difficult for the defence community to keep abreast of the latest developments and exploit radar systems to their 

full potential. 

Since 2004, Defence IQ has sought to close this gap by bringing together the military end-user community with senior scientists and 

leading defence industry figures working at the top end of the radar marketplace. This has provided the ideal opportunity to gain insights 

into key radar programmes currently under development, network with principle decision makers and understand how future radar 

technologies can deliver real improvements to military capability. 

Keen to build on this success, we’re delighted at the opportunity to co-host Military Radar 2008 with the 11th European Microwave 

Week Conferences and Exhibition. With its central theme of “Bridging Gaps”, Defence IQ believes that co-locating with EuMW2008 and 

offering Military Radar 2008 delegates access to the European Radar Conference (EuRAD) and the European Microwave Exhibition offers 

the defence community an unprecedented opportunity to understand the full potential of radar technology. 

In addition to Military Radar 2008’s own mix of keynote presentations, interactive discussion sessions, extended workshops and 

opportunities to network, delegates can attend focused sessions and workshops delivered by leading technical experts and endusers 

from across a wide variety of applications. This all adds up to ensure that attendees of Military Radar 2008 will gain a unique 

understanding of advanced radar technology and its full spectrum of applications, which will undoubtedly provide a mission-critical 

advantage in future military operations.

Application Of Passive And Bistatic Radar Systems 

Workshop facilitated by Dr Tony Zyweck, Daniel O Hagan and Marc Thomas, 

University College London 

UCL has been a world leader in research into passive and bistatic radar systems for 

over 15 years. The current research popularity into these systems is understandable 

but key challenges need to be overcome before these systems see widespread 

military application. Even niche application of these systems requires careful thought 

and integration with existing air defence system technology. This workshop will 

provide detailed, objective analysis of the military application of passive and bistatic 

radar systems supported by current up to date research performed by UCL researchers. 

Key challenges will be identified and insight into their remediation will be provided. 

Workshop B: 13:00 – 16:00: Synthetic Aperture Radar: Key Principles and Applications 

Workshop facilitated by Professor Peter Hoogeboom, Senior Consultant on Radar Systems, TNO Defence, Security and Safety, 

IRCTR - Delft University of Technology and Chair EuMC 

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides military forces with the invaluable possibility of an all-weather, day or night, reconnaissance 

and surveillance capability. SAR also has the potential to identify specific man-made targets and distinguish between specific terrain 

features. It is a critical addition to the sensor options of a military organisation and can fill several existing capability gaps. 

This workshop will provide you with an in-depth understanding of SAR and its role for enhancing military performance. You will also 

gain specific details of the principles behind SAR, the advantages of the technology, its moving target capabilities, data processing and 

utilisation tools and future challenges. The opportunity to discuss this essential technology in an interactive forum with colleagues and 

peers from the worldwide radar community is not to be missed. 

Discussion will feature several key topics including: 

1) Principles of Synthetic Aperture Radar: How has this technology developed and how does it work compared to other available 

systems? Where has this technology already been used and how has it adapted over the years? 

2) Capabilities of SAR Technology: Examine how SAR can be used for all-weather missions, foliage penetrating tasks, change 

detection and moving target indications. How can this mature technology adapt to cope with moving and concealed targets, 

paramilitary surveillance missions, building penetration and urban operations support? 

3) Data Processing: SAR technology requires a great deal of data processing to make the gathered information truly valuable. What 

are some of the challenges and technology breakthroughs in this area? 

4) Future Developments: How are SAR systems going to evolve over the coming years and what new capabilities will emerge? 

Examining ongoing research in the target detection and recognition field. 

Peter Hoogeboom has been working in Radar and Earth Observation for over 25 years at TNO in The Hague. Systems, algorithms and 

applications were developed by him and TNO’s Radar Group for both civil and military needs. He managed among other projects the 

development of the PHARUS experimental polarimetric phased array Synthetic Aperture Radar. He is currently senior advisor on Radar 

at TNO. He is one of the founders of the European SOSTAR Ground Surveillance program and was a member of the technical team 

for the TCAR radar in the NATO AGS programme. He is a part time professor in Radar Earth Observation at IRCTR- Delft University of 

Technology.
