Welcome to the 14th European Microwave Week 2011 

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 14th European Microwave 

Week 2011 which will be held at the Manchester Central Convention 

Complex, Manchester, UK, from Sunday 9th to Friday 14th October 

2011. This annual event is the premier microwave event in Europe 

and brings together the microwave community from around the 

world. The week is organised around three conferences: 

-The 41st European Microwave Conference (EuMC) 

-The 6th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference 

(EuMIC) 

-The 8th European Radar Conference (EuRAD) 

The conferences are complemented by a wide selection of 

workshops and short courses. Delegates will also have the 

opportunity to visit the European Microwave Exhibition, which is 

the largest microwave and RF trade show in Europe. These core 

events will appeal to Engineers and Scientists working in the 

broad microwave fi eld, from both industry and academia, whether 

they are a white haired authority on their subject or a student 

embarking on the beginning of their career. Delegates will be 

able to experience a very broad range of technical subjects, from 

semiconductors and nanotechnology through to wireless and radar 

systems. More than 1000 papers were submitted for review from 

more than 50 countries and around 375 papers will be presented 

in technical sessions, 200 in posters and 195 in workshops and 

short courses. The opening and closing plenary sessions of each 

of the three conferences will feature key-note speeches by worldleaders 

in their fi elds. 

Several exciting events will occur in parallel with the conference 

sessions. These include a focussed session on “Advances in 

Nanoelectronics in Radio Frequency Technology” and a joint 

APMC-EuMC session. The “Doctoral School in Microwaves” is a 

new initiative aimed at early stage PhD students. The fi rst module 

will be held over two days and will concentrate on “Microwave 

Fundamentals”. I am very pleased that the successful “Women 

in Engineering” event is to be repeated. This year there will be 

two exciting student competitions, the “Student Challenge”, 

and a new addition will be the industry sponsored“ Filter Design 

Competition”. A half-day special event “Microwaves inside Asia” 

will provide an overview, by leading experts, of some of the 

most signifi cant research and developments around Asia. As at 

EuMW2010 in Paris, poster sessions will have dedicated time-slots, 

and refreshments will be provided at these sessions. 

Finally an excellent partner programme has been planned. This 

will include visits to discover Manchester and its surroundings, 

including the National Parks of the Peak District and Lake District.

WELCOME MESSAGES 

The Manchester Central Convention Centre is a superb venue which 

has benefi tted from an investment of £28 Million in refurbishments 

since the last time we were here in 2006. The venue has excellent 

transportation via rail link from Manchester airport and there are 

more than 2500 hotel rooms within a 5 minute walk of the Centre. 

Manchester was at the heart of the industrial revolution in the 19th 

century, as a centre for the cotton industry. Much evidence of this 

industrial past remains, in the form of the canal network through 

the city. Manchester is now a prosperous post-industrial city and a 

centre for commerce, the arts, and education. It is an appropriate 

host for the EuMW2011 slogan “Wave to the Future” 

On behalf of the local organising committee I would like to give a 

big thank you to the Technical Programme Committees of the three 

conferences, along with the three hundred and fi fty reviewers of 

the technical papers, all of whom have volunteered their time to 

ensure that the event is of the highest technical quality. Without 

them there would be no EuMW2011. Also, a special mention should 

be made here of Prof. Matthias Rudolph for his fantastic support 

and huge efforts in running the TPMS paper submission software. 

I would also like to thank all the organisers of workshops, special 

sessions and student events, all of which contribute to making the 

week into a great experience. 

Our sincere thanks are also due to the Schools of Electronic and 

Electrical Engineering at the Universities of Leeds and Manchester 

for allowing us the time and resources to organise the event. 

Finally, it has been a pleasure to work with Michel Zoghob and 

his team at Horizon House. His experienced guidance has been 

invaluable and has made the organisation of this event enjoyable 

rather than stressful. 

We are sure that you will have a great experience at EuMW2011 

and we look forward to meeting you in Manchester.

Promoting European Microwaves 

The European Microwave Association is an international non-profit organisation with a scientific, educational and technical purpose, under Belgian law.

Welcome to the 2011 European Microwave Week on behalf of the 

European Microwave Association! EuMA is the organisation behind 

the Week, we are a non-profi t international association based in 

Belgium, with the mission to promote microwaves in Europe and 

to foster networking between microwave scientists and engineers 

in Europe. The European Microwave Week is the key event serving 

this purpose. 

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

membership for all those who work in the fi eld of microwaves, 

particularly from Europe, but also from around the world. The 

General Assembly, the highest governing body of the Association, 

gathers representatives from European countries, and also from 

North America, the Asia Pacifi c region, and from North Africa and 

Middle East. If you are not a EuMA member yet, I encourage you 

to join. Among other benefi ts, such as reduced fees for attending 

the EuMW and EuMA-sponsored conferences, you will have 

free on-line access to the International Journal on Microwave 

and Wireless Technologies, a joint initiative between EuMA and 

Cambridge University Press. 

Over the past decade, the European Microwave Week (EuMW) has 

evolved into the premier microwave conference and exhibition event 

in Europe, with typically 1000 papers submitted to, about 1500 

conference attendees and a total number of visitors in the range 

of 4500. The centrepiece of the Week is the European Microwave 

Conference (EuMC), the largest of the 3 conferences that form the 

Week. It is complemented by the European Microwave Integrated 

Circuits Conference (EuMIC) focusing on semiconductor device 

and circuit technologies, and the European Radar Conference 

(EuRAD), targeting the fi eld of radar, from components to applications. 

The success of EuMW is also a result of the collaboration 

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

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

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

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

long-standing partner Horizon House. 

Preparing and holding the EuMW is a major effort, and this is accomplished 

by a team of volunteers year by year. Therefore, my 

special and sincere thanks go to Ian Hunter, 2011 General Chair, 

and Ian Robertson, 2011 TPC Chair, to Stepan Lucyszyn, EuMC 

Chair, Ali Rezazadeh, EuMIC Chair, and Anthony Brown, EuRAD 

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

have been working hard to set up an outstanding technical and 

scientifi c program for you. 

After 5 years, we are back to Manchester and the UK. The conference 

centre is nicely located in the heart of the city. In the years since 

2006, the centre was modernised and signifi cantly expanded, now 

offering more space and better matching our needs. And our British 

hosts will do everything to make EuMW 2011 a success. 


Welcome from the President 

of the European Microwave Association 

The Week is intended to be both a scientifi c event and a forum 

for microwave researchers and practitioners. We hope you will 

not only get inspiring ideas from presentations and posters but 

also fi nd enough time to meet with colleagues and friends. Meet 

the European microwave community, join us and see you in 

Manchester!

Welcome to the 41st EuMC 

It is our great honour to welcome you to this 41st European 

Microwave Conference (EuMC) in the city of Manchester (UK). The 

last time the conference was held here was back in 2006, when 

Professor Thomas Brazil chaired the conference and Dr John Walker 

expertly chaired the associated Technical Program Committee (TPC). 

The venue is the new Manchester Central Convention Complex, 

formerly known as GMEX and the Manchester International 

Conference Centre. It is located right in the heart of one of Europe’s 

most exciting and dynamic cities, and provides more space and 

award-winning facilities than in 2006 for both the conference and 

exhibition. With its prime location and easy access from all major 

UK transport links, Manchester Central is the perfect venue to host 

the European Microwave Week (EuMW). 

The European Microwave Conference is Europe’s leading forum 

for presenting microwave and related technologies. This year we 

received a higher than anticipated number of submissions, with 

550 papers being submitted. We would like to extend our special 

thanks to the 170 reviewers and 60 members of the TPC, without 

whom the fi nal programme of very high quality papers could not 

have been put together. We are proud to present a raft of events 

to you, including 42 EuMC and 15 joint Technical Sessions, 15 

Workshops, 2 Short Courses, 3 Special Sessions, a Special Event, a 

new Doctoral Training Course and the Student Challenge.

This year, with the European Conference on Wireless Technology 

(EuWiT) being integrated into EuMC, there is a greater emphasis on 

wireless-related topics and this can be seen in the various technical 

sessions and workshop events. New to the conference is a Special 

Session that is devoted to looking at a specifi c geographical region; 

in this case Asia. On the Friday, Invited Speakers, all of whom are 

internationally recognised as leading experts in microwave-related 

activities, will showcase microwave technologies from within 

Asia (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, 

Thailand and India). The main objective of this Special Session is 

to provide a general overview of the various institutions that are 

currently key players in the most prominent R&D programs, as 

well as to identify funding mechanisms that are in place for the 

promotion of international collaboration and investment. 

Finally, we are indebted to Professor Ian C. Hunter, as General 

Chair of EuMW and Professor Ian D. Robertson as General Chair 

for the TPC (both at the University of Leeds), for their hard work 

and focused dedication, and also to everyone at the University of 

Manchester that has provided local support for this conference. 

We believe that you can benefi t considerably from the technical 

exchanges and social networking opportunities and that you will 

take full advantage of what this truly international conference has 

to offer to everyone that attends. We look forward to welcoming 

you there!

Welcome to EuMIC 2011 

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to 2011 European 

Microwave Integrated Circuits (EuMIC) Conference in Manchester, 

UK on October 10-11, 2011. The EuMIC is the successor of the 

well known GAAS application symposium, which was fi rst held in 

Rome in 1990. 

Since 2007 the EuMIC conference is organised under the umbrella of 

both the European Microwave Association and GAAS Association. 

An outstanding technical programme this year has been organised 

with more than 100 technical papers coming from a selective 

selection process. Papers are distributed across 16 EuMIC sessions, 

11 joint EuMC/EuMIC sessions and 2 poster sessions ,scheduled 

for Monday-Tuesday, within the European Microwave Week. 

During the rest of the Week there will be also 13 workshops and 

2 short courses which complete the main conference. Signifi cant 

number of joint sessions and workshops, organised with the 

European Microwave Conference (EuMC), highlights the strong 

interaction between these conferences. 

We are fortunate to have two eminent plenary distinguished 

speakers: Dr Tahir Ghani, Intel Fellow and Director of Transistor 

Technology and Integration, Intel Corporation, USA will presents 

“Challenges and Innovations in Nano-CMOS Transistor Scaling” on 

Monday 10th October. This talk will be followed by presentation of 

Professor Masahiro Yamaguchi Director of electromagnetic theory 

division, Tohoku University, Japan who will be discussing “Trends 

and future of on-chip RF magnetic technology”. 

The programme is of great interest both for industry and academia,

2011 in this great city of Manchester.

2010 EuMA Outstanding 

Career Award Professor David Rhodes studied at the 

University of Leeds, UK where he was 

awarded the degrees of BSc in 1964 and 

PhD under the guidance of Professor Sean 

Scanlan, in 1966. After a period of postdoctoral 

research he moved to the USA in 

1967 to work at Microwave Development 

Laboratories in Boston. He thrived in the 

unique research environment at MDL, and 

David Rhodes 

created new classes of microwave fi lters with 

linear phase characteristics, for the Intelsat III 

and IV satellites. This work was recognised by the award of the IEEE 

Microwave Prize and the IEEE Browder J. Thompson prize, both in 

1969. That year he returned to the Electrical Engineering Department 

at Leeds as a Lecturer. He continued his pioneering work on Circuit 

Theory and Microwave Filters, received further awards, including the 

J J Thompson Premium from the IEE and the Guillman-Cauer award 

from the IEEE. He was promoted to Reader at Leeds in 1972, and 

awarded a Doctor of Science degree in 1974. He was promoted to full 

Professor in 1975, at the age of 31. He published the now classic text 

“Theory of Electrical Filters” in 1976. 

In parallel with his academic work he acted as a technical consultant 

to MDL and Ferranti, writing specialist fi lter synthesis software and 

developing unique fi ltering devices. In 1977 he formed his own 

company, Filtronic Components Ltd, initially working on wideband 

microwave devices for EW systems. The company expanded steadily, 

winning several Queens’ awards for Exports and Technology and in 

the 1990’s it diversifi ed into mobile communications, with advanced 

fi lters and subsystems for the new digital mobile phone systems, and 

fl oated on the London Stock Exchange in 1993. This signifi cant cash 

injection enabled the company to grow at an exponential rate and it 

rapidly became an international operation with 3000 employees at 

10 sites on 4 continents, with peak sales of $0.5 Billion and a market 

capitalisation of $2.5 Billion. 

He has received numerous awards including the OBE (the Offi cer of the 

Order of the British Empire) and CBE (the Commander of the Order of 

the British Empire), presented by Queen Elizabeth II. He was awarded 

honorary doctorates from Leeds, Bradford and Napier Universities. He 

is a fellow of the IEEE, the IET, the Royal Academy of Engineering, 

the Royal Society and is a Foreign Associate of the Academy of 

Engineering (USA). He received the Microwave Career Award from 

the IEEE, the Faraday Medal from the IET; The Mountbatten Medal 

from the National Electronics Council, the Mullard Award from the 

Royal Society, and the premier distinction from the Royal Academy of 

Engineering, the Prince Philip Gold Medal. 

He retired 5 years ago and has grown a new business within the private 

company Isotek Electronics Ltd., where he is the majority shareholder, 

in the area of microwave sub-systems. This has recently been acquired 

by Filtronic plc. The remaining Isotek business, which develops and 

manufactures hyperbaric welding systems for sea depths down to 

4000 m, continues to grow under his ownership. He is also an Emeritus 

Professor at the University of Leeds.

International Journal of Microwave and Wireless 

Technologies: EuMW2011 Special Issue 

The International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies, 

fi rst published at the beginning of 2009, is a new journal 

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

EuMA and Cambridge University Press to reinforce the presence of 

Microwave research, both European and international, in scientifi c 

and technical literature. It will also allow academic and industrial 

researchers to promote their work and stay connected with the 

most recent developments in Microwave and RF technology. 

Following the successful experience of EuMW2008, EuMW2009 

and EuMW2010, the Journal will again publish a special issue 

dedicated to European Microwave Week 2011. The special issue 

will be guest edited by Professors Ian Robertson, Stepan Lucyszyn, 

and Tony Brown and the authors of a number of highly ranked 

papers presented at the conference will be invited to submit an 

extended version for publication in the Journal. 

April 2nd, 2011 TPC Meeting

served by strong road, rail and air links, making it an easily accessible 

location for visitors from all over the world. 

By Rail 

Manchester has direct rail connections to all major UK cities – 

London is just over two hours away by train. Services come into the 

city at either Piccadilly or Victoria station, both of which connect 

to Manchester’s Metrolink light-rail system which provides easy 

access to all parts of the city centre. Take the Metrolink from either 

Piccadilly or Victoria (in the Altrincham or Eccles direction) and alight 

at St Peter’s Square, which is within a 5-minute walk of Manchester 

Central. You can also take advantage of the free Metroshuttle bus 

that travels between the two stations across the city centre. For 

information on train services to Manchester visit www.nationalrail. 

co.uk 

Metrolink and Taxis 

The extensive Metrolink tram service covers the city centre and areas 

of Greater Manchester. To reach the venue follow signs for Metrolink 

from either Piccadilly or Victoria, purchase a City Zone ticket on the

SHOPPING & SIGHTSEEING 

Manchester has embraced change wholeheartedly, restoring its 

industrial landscape and combining that heritage with contemporary 

urban design to create a cityscape that blends the best of the old 

with the brightest of the new. The civic ambition that saw it bid 

for not one but two Olympic Games has delivered a re-vitalised city 

centre with an enviable array of new cultural and sporting facilities. 

Modern day Manchester is a vital and sophisticated urban capital 

that infl uences the world in science, business, fashion, style, music 

and culture.

nightspot. Bristling with pubs, bars and clubs, the city centre truly 

does offer a friendly welcome and a good time for all. Dining in 

Manchester is a real cosmopolitan culinary experience with a host 

of quality restaurants to choose from. Whether it is British, Chinese, 

Russian, Thai or Brazilian, and no matter your budget Manchester 

has a tasty offering. 

Museums & Art Galleries 

There are something like 90 museums in and around Manchester,

of hours while you are visiting – so you can learn more about this

THE 2011 DEFENCE AND SECURITY FORUM 

A full-day Forum addressing Safety, Security and Defence issues 

and featuring the EuMW Defence/Security Executive Forum 

Wednesday 12 October 2011, 09.00 to 19.00, Room Charter 1 

Attendance is FREE and open to all EuMW2011 conference 

delegates, exhibitors and visitors. 

The resounding success of the inaugural EuMW Defence/Security 

Executive Forum at EuMW 2010 in Paris has prompted the joint 

organisers, the European Microwave Association (EuMA) and 

Microwave Journal, to expand European Microwave Week’s coverage 

of the Defence/Security sector with a full-day Forum. 

Following the format that attracted over 200 attendees in Paris, the 2011 

EuMW Defence/Security Executive Forum will again offer delegates 

the opportunity to benefi t from the expertise and experience of representatives 

from government defence agencies and leading defence/ 

security contractors who will provide insights into how their organizations 

view future threats to global safety, security and defence, and the 

role of technology in addressing these risks. The Executive Forum will 

conclude with an open panel discussion with questions from the fl oor. 

The Executive Forum will keep its established early evening time slot 

and be preceded and complemented by morning and afternoon sessions. 

The agenda will include a Keynote which will set the scene and offer an 

overview of prevalent defence and security issues. 

The morning session will focus on Safety and Security and consider 

Doctoral School of Microwaves: Microwave Fundamentals 

When: Thursday 13th and Friday 14th Oct, 8.30 to 17:00 

Location: Central Meeting Room 8 

Organisers and Lecturers:

T.J. Brazil, University College Dublin, Ireland 

About the Doctoral School of Microwaves 

As a result of the Bologna agreement, different international academic 

study programmes are becoming increasingly harmonised. This has 

resulted in university programmes that lead to broadly comparable B.Sc. 

and M.Sc. qualifi cations across Europe. 

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

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

engineering. With support from the GAAS Association, the fi rst of these 

programmes has been created and is now being launched at the EuMW 

2011 in Manchester. This is the fi rst course in the Doctoral School of 

Microwaves, and the starting point chosen is that which should be fi rst: 

Microwave Fundamentals. 

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

course is formed by Ph.D. students, predominantly in their fi rst two years of 

study, with a fi eld of research that is in some way related to the microwave 

domain. The course will be formed by two intensive days of lectures. Given 

the audience, there should be something to learn for everyone. Basic ideas 

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

around for a while. The programme focusses on passive microwaves, and 

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

coupled lines, splitters and combiners and the fundamentals of network 

analysis. It is a programmme not to be missed! 

Abstract: 

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

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

the application of the microwave technology that is being developed 

to increase security and address safety issues. World recognized 

experts will give tutorials and presentations on active and passive RF 

detection and imaging techniques applied to short range stand-off surveillance 

and through-wall and buried sensing. The afternoon session 

will consider – Radar (and EW) Challenges for the 21st Century: 

An Industry Perspective – which will focus on the application of 

microwave technology to provide security and counteract threats. The 

day’s proceedings will conclude with a Cocktail Reception which will 

give delegates the unique opportunity to discuss the issues raised in an 

informal setting. 

The Conference Special Events section of the European Microwave 

Week website, will give details of the speakers for the morning and 

afternoon sessions and the Executive Forum. For more information 

visit: http://www.eumweek.com/2011/Special.asp 

Attendance is FREE and open to all EuMW2011 conference delegates, 

exhibitors and visitors. However, those wishing to attend the 2011

has relevance to high-speed digital designers and to people concerned 

with signal integrity in the broader sense. The programme is designed 

to lay the foundations, both mathematically as well as conceptually, 

for microwave analysis. It allows a fundamental understanding of 

high frequency passive circuits, and will prepare students to become 

intelligent users of commercial microwave and EM fi eld simulators. As 

background, students will be expected to have attained a Bachelor/ 

Masters level qualifi cation in Electrical Engineering, suffi cient to enable 

them to be admitted to doctoral studies. Familiarity with basic circuit 

theory and Maxwell’s equations will be assumed. Up to 30 students can 

be accommodated.

Meshless methods are numerical methods that present the advantage 

of high accuracy without the need of an explicitly described mesh 

topology. For electromagnetic simulations, an unstructured node distribution 

translates into an enhanced capability for conformal and 

multiscale modeling. Furthermore, it presents advantages for adaptive 

discretization refi nements, which provides an important tool to decrease 

memory consumption and computation time. In this paper, a refi nement 

strategy is introduced for the Radial Point Interpolation Method (RPIM). 

RPIM is a meshless collocation method where the application of radial 

basis functions yields high interpolation accuracy for even strongly inhomogeneous 

unstructured node distributions. This high accuracy comes 

at the cost of high matrix condition numbers. As a remedy, an optimization 

algorithm is applied to fi nd an ideal function shape at the limit of 

a numerical breakdown for maximum accuracy. In the node refi nement 

algorithm, the accuracy of a solution is increased iteratively based on an 

initial solution with a coarse discretization. In contrast to the commonly 

used residual-based adaptivity algorithms, an error estimator based on 

the solution gradient is proposed here. This strategy leads to increased 

convergence rates. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the 

effectiveness of the algorithm.

SPECIAL CONFERENCE MONDAY EVENTS

European Microwave Week (EuMIC/EuMC) 

Special Session : Advances of Nanoelectronics in Radiofrequency Technology 

When: Tuesday 11th Oct, 8.30 to 10.10

Abstract 

The future of RF/microwave technology will be fundamentally infl uenced 

by nanoelectronics, which will provide substantial improvements in the 

integration of RF electronics, sensing, energy harvesting, computing and 

communication systems. Nanoelectronics has the potential to introduce 

a paradigm shift in electronic systems design similar to that of the 

transition from vacuum tubes to semiconductor technology. 

On one hand, driven by technology and market requirements, 

semiconductor electronics has already found its way into the nanoscale 

dimensions. In fact, the continuing technological drive in silicon 

complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) technology, 

following Moore’s law, still holds potentials for progress. On the other 

hand, novel devices based on a combination of new materials and 

advanced technologies already existing will be required to go beyond 

the scaling limits of silicon. To this aim, a multitude of research projects 

based on novel materials and nano-science concepts have been 

developed to pave the way for a new generation of nanoelectronic 

devices and systems, yielding not only higher integration densities but 

also substantially improved electro-thermal-mechanical properties. In 

fact, it is remarkable to note that many nano-scale materials and devices, 

(e.g., carbon-based materials) exhibit their most interesting properties 

over a broad range of applications and operating frequencies, covering 

the radiofrequency (RF) spectrum, through the microwaves up to the THz 

region. They may offer the possibility of outstanding performances with 

much lower power draw, using processing technology that seems to be 

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

The goal of this Special Session is to present an overview of recent 

developments of nanotechnology-enabled RF devices and systems, thus 

evaluating their impact toward the future nanoelectronics.We present 

recent features on grapheme nanoribbon-based fi eld effect transistor 

and novel nanodevices based on the intriguing non-reciprocal gyrotropic 

property of graphene. We introduce new concepts of nanodevices in the 

THz region: i) a planar nano-diode operating at room-temperature, ii) 

a wide bandgap self switch nanodevice also at room temperature. We 

discuss innovative UHF and SHF microwave circuits using conductive 

slver nano-particle based inks. 

Finally, we show the possibility of the quantization of electronic circuits, 

including also examples e.g. with Josephson junctions.

Half-Day Special Session: ‘Microwaves Inside Asia’ 

When: Friday 14th Oct, 8.30 – 12.30 


Chair: Stepan Lucyszyn, Imperial College London 

Co-Chair: Jia-Sheng Hong, Heriot-Watt University 

Introduction 

The 2011 European Microwave Conference is proud to be hosting this Special 

Session of Invited Speakers, all of whom are internationally recognised as 

leading experts in microwave-related activities. The aim of Microwaves 

Inside Asia is to showcase microwave technologies from within Asia. The 

main objective is to provide a general overview various institutions that 

are currently key players in the most prominent of R&D programs, as well 

as to identify funding mechanisms that are in place for the promotion of 

international collaboration and investment. The Invited Speakers have been 

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

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

to represent a broad front of activities (e.g. microwaves, millimetre-wave 

and THz technologies) from within academia, government laboratories 

and industry (from teaching to basic research to product development). 

This could include government initiatives, at local and national levels, and 

also identifying active university research groups, scientifi c hot spots, and 

leading industrial product developments/markets.

Innovations in Scaling Nano-CMOS Transistors to the Limit 

Tahir Ghani, Intel Fellow, Logic Technology Development, Intel Corporation, USA 

The scaling of MOS technology has led to phenomenal growth in transistor density and performance during the last 

four decades. Until the late 1990’s this growth was primarily driven by traditional dimensional scaling from lithography 

improvements, gate oxide thickness reduction, advances in junction engineering and power supply (Vcc) scaling. 

However, starting at 90nm CMOS logic node, the industry began to experience fundamental barriers in achieving 

historical performance gains through traditional scaling. Intel has been at the forefront in addressing these challenges 

by successfully driving transistor innovations from research phase to mainstream CMOS manufacturing. This talk will 

describe two such recent innovations- “uniaxially-strained silicon” introduced fi rst at Intel’s 90nm CMOS node and 

“HiK+Metal Gate” technology introduced fi rst at 45nm CMOS node. In the 2nd part of my talk I will present how 

future innovations in device structures and materials have the potential to address upcoming scaling concerns and 

highlight some fundamental challenges in implementing the next set of innovations into mainstream CMOS technology. 

The convergence of new transistor structures and materials along with a better fundamental understanding of carrier 

transport in new materials will be the key to successfully scaling transistors to beyond-10nm CMOS logic nodes.

Overview of RF high-permeability ferromagnetic thin fi lms and its application to 

a new ferromagnetic/conductive multilayer to suppress skin effect in RF on-chip 

conductors

Development of new passive component technology to endure “More-than-Moore” approach is highly expected 

to diverse the direction of CMOS technologies from scaling to application specifi c functional innovation through 

incorporating digital and non-digital functionality into compact systems. Ferromagnetic thin fi lm materials with high 

permeability in the RF range (>3 GHz) are potential material for inductive passive components. They are available in the 

forms of sputter-deposited metallic alloy, nano-composite, traditional oxides, etc. Application trials for CMOS integrated 

inductors, one-chip DC-DC converters and on-chip noise suppressor for LTE-era RFIC receiver are on-going with the idea 

“More-than-Moore” getting popular. 

A new potential innovation with magnetic thin fi lm is to suppress skin effect in RF on-chip conductors taking advantage 

of negative permeability of soft magnetic fi lm obtained beyond the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency. 

Phenomenologically, the skin effect is known as the current clouding on the surface of high-frequency-current carrying 

conductors, which raises the ac resistance and therefore degrades the device performance. Suppose an alternately 

multilayered structure of metal/magnetic thin fi lm. Then the volume average of relative permeability can be set zero 

if µr has a certain negative value. This idea is experimentally verifi ed for on-chip coplanar waveguide and integrated 

inductor in the GHz range. A key design consideration is to fi nd out the best thickness combination of magnetic and nonmagnetic 

layers, which is studied through EM simulation and experiments based on combinatorial material processing 

technique. The proposed idea is applicable for any on-chip conductors including transmission lines, integrated inductors 

and antennas in order to realize high-Q and energy-saving systems.

Graphene: Materials in the Flatland 

K. S. Novoselov, Nobel Laureate 2010, School of Physics and Astronomy, University of Manchester, UK 

When one writes with a pencil, thin fl akes of graphite are left on a surface. Some of them are only one angstrom thick 

and can be viewed as individual atomic planes cleaved away from the bulk. This strictly two dimensional material called 

graphene was presumed not to exist in the free state and remained undiscovered until recently. The most amazing 

things about graphene probably is that its electrons move with little scattering over huge (submicron) distances as if 

they were completely insensitive to the environment only a couple of angstroms away. Moreover, whereas electronic 

properties of other materials are commonly described by quasiparticles that obey the Schrödinger equation, electron 

transport in graphene is different: It is governed by the Dirac equation so that charge carriers in graphene mimic 

relativistic particles with zero rest mass. The very unusual electronic properties of this material as well as the possibility 

for its chemical modifi cation make graphene a promising candidate for future electronic applications.

Applications, anywhere anytime? 

Mike Short, Vice President Telefonica Europe and incoming President - IET 

Dr Short will discuss sources of innovation and future ICT growth. ICT is expected to be a $3 Trillion industry by 2013 

according to EU research company IDATE – how ready are we for this Digital World? What scope for growth will there 

be when there are more phones than people? What Innovation challenges will emerge to assure “Internet for all” and 

the “Internet of things”? How do we get the benefi ts of Global R+D and economies of scale? Is the quest for speed 

hiding a need for better design and systems engineering?

Terahertz imaging and spectroscopy 

A. G. Davies, School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, UK. 

The last 10–15 years have witnessed a remarkable growth in the fi eld of terahertz (THz) frequency science and 

engineering, which is maturing into a vibrant international research area. The THz fi eld arguably began with the 

development of a pulsed (single-cycle) THz emitter – the semiconductor photoconductive switch – and the subsequent 

development of THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS), which grew out of efforts to generate and detect coherently subpicosecond 

electrical transients on transmission lines. Since then, considerable success has been achieved in the further 

development of these and other THz sources and detectors, and in the use of THz-TDS for a wide range of imaging 

and spectroscopy studies. Recent progress in guided-wave systems, both via freestanding structures and on-chip, has 

extended the fi eld, and the realization and subsequent development of the THz frequency quantum cascade laser, a 

solid-state device based on a layered semiconductor superlattice, has opened the way further for the development of 

the fi eld of THz photonics. 

This paper will review the state-of-the-art in the generation of THz radiation and highlight current research directions 

including potential applications for this technology across the physical, biological and medical sciences.

Universality in the Large Signal Behaviour of Varactor Junctions 

J. David Rhodes, Isotek Electronics, Leeds, UK 

It is normally assumed that the instantaneous voltage and current across and through a varactor junction respectively 

are related through a non-linear differential equation, which is functionally dependent upon the doping profi le of the 

device. An alternative description of the relationship is proposed based upon the following conjecture: 

“When excited by energy at a fundamental frequency, subject to the constraints imposed by the network in which it is 

embedded, the behaviour of a varactor junction is such that for a given amount of energy in the cycle the instantaneous 

energy remains non-negative throughout the cycle and its maximum value within the cycle is minimized. Furthermore, 

for large signals, the magnitude of the current is constant, resulting in the effective capacitance being inversely 

proportional to the magnitude of the voltage independent of the doping profi le of the junction”.

Abstract 

High frequency of operation is essential for many future systems 

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

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

Gbits) wireless applications. In addition to IST applications, the 

development of sensors and detectors is of key importance for 

biological and biomedical applications, as well as, security and 

early warning systems utilizing gas detection. These require the 

evaluation of resonance frequencies of gases and biological 

molecules located in the millimeter and sub-millimeter spectral 

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

address various device approaches for THz applications and 

will cover their design, modeling, process and characterization 

aspects. The tutorial is prepared for young scientists and engineers 

interested in learning about this emerging fi eld, as well as people 

with more advanced understanding of related concepts. Experts 

from both Europe and the US will present the current status 

and future prospects of key THz technologies. The workshop will 

explore all relevant technologies from the device level to the fully 

functioning system level.

Novel Devices and Advanced Modeling Techniques in RF Nanoelectronics 

Organizers:

Abstract 

Owing to the new qualitative and quantitative improvements 

that nanotechnology allows, nanoelectronics has the potential 

to introduce a paradigm shift in electronic systems design similar 

to that of the transition from vacuum tubes to semiconductor 

technology. It is believed that nanoelectronics will become a 

successor or complement to today’s microelectronics, based on 

silicon technologies. This belief is due partly to the fundamental 

limitations of microelectronics, and partly to the fact that novel 

nano-structures and nano-materials, exhibit their most interesting 

properties over the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum through 

the microwave region, and up to the optical (THz) region. For 

this reason, nanoelectronics represent an enormous and yet 

largely undiscovered opportunity for the microwave engineering 

community, which can utilize its established wealth of expertise 

in modelling, design and measurement techniques with the aim 

to bridge the gap between nano-science and a new generation 

of extremely integrated devices, circuits and systems, for a broad 

range of applications and operating frequencies. The advancement 

of nanoelectronics depends on the progress of nanotechnology, 

that addresses the issues of technical feasibility and function, 

defi ning possibilities and features for manufacturing, but, on 

the other hand, it is equally true that this advancement relies 

also on the understanding of multi-physics phenomena at the 

nanoscale, that cannot be handled by today’s computer-aided 

design tools. Therefore, also omputational nanoelectronics will 

play a fundamental and complementary role in the development of 

nanoelectronics. The goals of this workshop is to i) overview recent 

achievements on high-performance devices for radio-frequency 

applications, ii) introduce advanced techniques for the multiphysics 

modeling of nanodevices. We overview the perspectives for RF 

graphene electronics and discuss the effects of a strong negative 

differential conductance in graphene nanodevices. We introduce 

wireless sensor nodes based on nanotechnology-enabled inkjetprinting, 

a concept of remote control of nano-medicine systems 

for drug delivery and the applications of ferromagnetic nanowire 

metamaterials. 

We present advanced techniques for the multiphysics modeling of 

the combined electromagnetic-transport problems in nanodevices 

and discuss nanoelectronic circuits exhibiting quantum behavior at 

the circuit level (quantum nanoelectronics).

System-in-Package Solutions in the Microwave World 

Organizers: 

David Pedder, David Pedder Associates 

Walter de Raedt, IMEC 

Abstract 

The past decade has seen the emergence of a range of Systemin-Package 

(SiP) and Passive Integration technologies driven 

by the relentless demands of the portable and consumer 

electronics industry for ever-greater product functionality and for 

improved performance at ever-reducing costs. System-in-Package 

technologies provide a system or sub-system level of functionality 

within a single package outline and combine one or more integrated 

circuit die with passive and other supporting components. The 

ability to integrate devices and to mix technologies within a 

standard package outline can lead to smaller footprints than 

standard Surface Mount Technology (SMT) implementations, and 

to improved performance, lower NREs and reduced New Product 

Introduction (NPI) cycle times when compared with the Systemon-Chip 

(SoC) option and, most importantly, to useful costs savings 

at the system or sub-system level. Passive Integration provides a 

further series of size, weight, performance and costs benefi ts 

that nicely complement the adoption of SiP technologies. This 

very timely workshop will review the state-of-the-art in Systemin-Package 

technologies, design routes and applications with a 

clear focus on the microwave world. The workshop will provide 

proper awareness and understanding of an important emerging 

technology.

Advanced III-V MMIC Design Techniques 

Abstract 

Main objective of this workshop is to present an overview of 

design related issues and challenges that todays MMIC designers 

are facing. As processing technologies are becoming more mature 

and faster, more complex designs and higher performances become 

possible, requiring more accurate models and more advanced 

simulation and design techniques. This workshop will cover a 

number of these advanced design topics in III-V MMIC design. 

The fi rst presentation is devoted to transistor models in relation 

to general convergence issues and simulation times (concerning 

all technologies), and a second part (more focused on GaN, but 

however valid for GaAs) devoted to the infl uence, at HPA level, of 

the modelling of low frequency effects (traps and thermal effects). 

And fi nally a part on the new needs for models designed for 

switch-mode amplifi ers. 

The second presentation will outline the importance of including 

harmonic load pull in the characterisation of transistors and the 

benefi ts of creating Direct Look-Up Table models in an integrated 

measurement–simulation-design environment. A design 

methodology will be presented which is applicable to both narrow 

and wide band applications and which delivers faster development 

cycles. 

The next talk will concentrate on the particularities of circuit 

design techniques and technology requirements to address submillimetre 

wave frequencies. These include advanced high-speed 

transistor technologies, model generation and verifi cation at high 

millimetre wave frequencies, compact and high quality passive 

circuit components, and useful circuit design concepts for frequency 

amplifi cation, multiplication and conversion. 

The presentation from TNO will cover design, simulation and 

testing issues of highly integrated MMIC designs, such as multifunction 

or core chips. Covered design issues range from dealing 

with very compact layouts and related EM coupling problems and 

simulation to the integration of digital interfaces using a large 

number of small transistors. 

The last presentation will deal with the design of balanced LNAs 

suitable for balanced wideband antennas. The second part of this 

presentation will cover the design of low phase noise VCOs with 

high tuning range utilizing an integrated tank. 

Targeted audience: Junior and experienced MMIC designers, R&D 

staff of EDA and modelling houses and foundries.

Recent achievements in the synthesis of microwave fi lters and multiplexers 

Organizers: 

Guiseppe Macchiarella, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy 

Stéphane Bila, XLIM/Univ. Limoges, Limoges, France 

Abstract 

The fi rst step in the design of microwave fi ltering networks is 

often represented by the synthesis of a suitable equivalent circuit. 

Even if this circuit represents, in general, an approximated model 

of the actual physical structure, it allows an initial dimensioning 

of the structure, which constitutes the starting point for all the 

subsequent refi nements (generally based on electromagnetic 

CAD). Accurate synthesis techniques may then reduce the number 

of refi nement steps during the dimensioning - even avoiding, in 

some cases, having to resort to numerical optimization. 

It can now observe that the requirements of the fi ltering subsystem 

in last-generation communication systems have broadened the 

area into which the synthesis of microwave fi lters is typically 

carried out. New issues must therefore be addressed, for which the 

classical synthesis approach is no longer able to provide satisfactory 

results. Some works have then appeared in the literature, proposing 

innovative approaches to the synthesis in such cases. 

The purpose of this workshop is to give an overview of some recent 

advances in the synthesis of microwave fi lters and multiplexers. 

The topics concern the synthesis of broadband microwave fi lters, 

which include the presence of frequency-variant couplings; novel 

approaches to the synthesis of multiband fi lters and multiplexers 

in various confi gurations; and techniques for de-embedding 

polynomial models of the fi lters composing a duplexer.

Foreseen Technologies towards Cognitive Transceivers: Critical blocks, hardware design and algorithms 

Abstract 

The number of wireless radio system grows year after year. As more 

devices “go wireless” and human wireless networks proliferate at 

unprecedented speed more bandwidth and better use of the RF 

spectrum will be required to avoid future “wireless traffi c jams”. 

The crowding of the RF communication channels, the increase of 

the user data rate, the essential improvement of both effi ciency 

and versatility of infrastructure equipments, and the foreseen need 

for seamless handover between standards, results in increasingly 

strict constraints for the transceiver abilities and performances. 

The requirement for a smooth integration of various wireless 

radios into one common platform is evident. However, this is a 

very challenging task leading to a complicated system design and 

an overloaded chip area. To this end Software Defi ned Radio and 

its extension, Cognitive Radio, can be applied in order to provide a 

highly fl exible platform for dynamically changeable environment. 

The goal of this workshop is to overview the impact of emerging 

technologies on the future cognitive transceiver, and to present 

the new ideas and the progress on the development of an SDR 

platform towards CR within the framework of the European project 

“Partnership for the Development of the Cognitive Radio”. 

Speakers at the workshop are from different European countries. 

They outline the recently developed technologies and point out 

the vision of the project from different perspectives: industry and 

academia. The umbrella of topics includes general vision on the 

development of the SDR and CR while taking into account the 

necessary balance between the improvement of the system level 

requirements and the technological constraints. The added value 

of a high level system simulation framework allows for evaluation 

of the impact of complex RF scenarios on the performance of 

the RF front-end. The workshop will focus on hot key-points: 

Filtering, Signal conversion, PA architectures and signal processing 

algorithms in the context of SDR/CR requirements and, fi nally, it 

will address smart antenna challenges and design. 

The workshop is intended for researchers interested in the 

implementation of SDR and CR starting from antenna design and 

new technologies for wideband antennas, via RF front-end and 

technologies to support smooth reconfi gurability among various 

wireless radios, to signal conversion and digital signal processing 

technologies, from algorithms to hardware

High-performance narrow-bandgap HEMT technology for advanced microwave front-ends: 

Towards the end of the roadmap? 

Organizer: 

Jan Grahn, Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden 

Abstract 

Narrow-bandgap III-V HEMT technology is the given choice 

for combining highest speed, highest gain and lowest noise in 

microwave/mm-wave transceivers. Moreover, the circuits can be 

designed for very low dc power consumption. The HEMT technology 

is now scaled towards 20 nm gate length. As a result, microwave 

circuits can now be designed beyond 500 GHz. 

Classical GaAs PHEMT technology has long been challenged by 

GaAs MHEMT offering indium-rich channel and consequently 

higher prospects of scaling up in speed. The InP HEMT technology 

is still often the technology of choice for the most demanding 

applications in frequency and low noise. New approaches such 

as InAs HEMTs or InSb HEMTs are tested as alternative routes 

in improved performance, notably very low-power consumption. 

Ultra-low noise HEMT amplifi ers are cooled to cryogenic 

temperatures for the most demanding applications in scientifi c 

receiver instrumentation. 

The scaling of III-V HEMT technology implies severe trade-offs in 

device parameters crucial for the microwave designer. Improved 

transconductance and high-frequency gain are counteracted by 

elevated gate current, increased output conductance, and reduced 

breakdown voltage. As a result, device reliability becomes a major 

concern. There are signs that improvement in fi gures-of-merit are 

slowing down. 

In this workshop, an update is provided of the current status and 

trends in the research on advanced narrow-bandgap IIII-V HEMT 

technology for microwave front-ends. Novel process solutions and 

device architectures are summarized with respect to analog but 

also logic HEMT implementations in circuit designs. Time will be 

given to discuss how far we are in reaching the end of the narrow 

bandgap HEMT scaling roadmap, and potential alternative routes 

for improved future HEMT technology in microwave front-ends.

Abstract 

In the context of power amplifi ers, this workshop will address 

various approaches for effi ciency improvement. Especially the 

analogue to digital balance in the amplifi cation chain is discussed 

here: digital techniques are on the one hand very interesting as 

they bring more fl exibility from a system point of view, on the 

other hand challenging because of new aspects that have to be 

carefully investigated. 

The workshop will start with a global system overview given in the 

two fi rst presentations followed by a focus on digital techniques 

to improve the amplifi cation chain effi ciency. It will continue with 

different effi ciency enhancement techniques. Finally, based on 

various topologies, several realization examples will be presented.

Rüdiger Quay, Fraunhofer Institute Applied Solid- 

State Physics (FhG-IAF) Freiburg, Germany 

Abstract 

During the last few years GaN-based electronics 

has undergone further developments both 

by a refi nement of existing technologies and 

the exploration of new solutions (in terms of 

material systems, like InAlN.GaN vs. AlGaN/ 

GaN) and by an extension of device and 

circuit solutions towards higher frequency, 

power and effi cency. The workshop has the 

purpose to present an updated overview of 

recent developments in the area of GaN-based 

devices and circuits and their applications, 

covering aspects related to technology, highand 

low-cost applications, characterization 

and circuit design. 



From De-embedding to Waveform Engineering 

Organizers: 

Prof. Dominique Schreurs, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium 

Dr. Giovanni Crupi, University of Messina, Italy 

Abstract 

The continuous and rapid advancement of microwave applications 

implies an incessantly growing demand for a fast and effi cient circuit 

design based on an accurate determination of the actual device’s 

performance. This has brought the high-frequency de-embedding 

procedures to the spotlight, since such techniques enable shifting the 

input and output reference planes of the measurements closer to the 

actual device. With the aim of providing a comprehensive overview, 

this Workshop covers all important aspects of the subject such as the 

theoretical background, practical implementation, and its application 

in circuit design. A fundamental understanding of the high-frequency 

de-embedding of small-signal (also noise) and large-signal data is 

provided by analysing both measurements and model simulations. Over 

the years, the concept of de-embedding has enabled the development 

of waveform engineering that nowadays is attracting an extensive 

interest. In light of that, special attention is given to exploit waveform 

engineering and its important role in modeling and circuit design.

NEAR FIELD PROBES: USEFUL TOOLS FOR RF/MW ENGINEERS 

Organizers: 

Dr. Arturo Mediano 

UNIVERSITY OF ZARAGOZA (UZ) c/ María de Luna 1; E50018; Zaragoza (SPAIN) 

Email: a.mediano@ieee.org 

Abstract 

Engineers and technicians in RF/MW fi elds are usually very interested 

in EMI fundamentals because they experiment (suffer) their effects in 

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

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

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

fi eld probes are very useful tools. But, near fi eld probes are useful 

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

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

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

engineers that can not be considered EMI/EMC specialists but have a 

good RF/MW knowledge and interest in troubleshooting circuits. 

The short course was designed considering that: 

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

and experimentation but they are not EMI/EMC specialists. 

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

we will use them. 

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

tutorial.

Software-Defi ned Radio 

Organizers: 

Dr Richard Ranson, Radio System Design Ltd 

Abstract 

Software Defi ned Radio (SDR) is the culmination of technical 

advances on several fronts and probably one of the most signifi cant 

areas of development in radio systems today. This half day short 

course illustrates how the transition to digital modulation formats, 

the constant improvements in analogue to digital converters 

(ADCs), the incredible advances in CMOS and digital hardware 

in general have the potential to alter the way radio systems are 

designed and work in the future. 

This is an introductory course structured to provide a comprehensive 

overview of the key technology areas. It is intended to bring 

participants up to speed on recent advances, then build on that 

base to illustrate the evolution of practical systems with examples 

from, different application areas. 

82 


WORKSHOPS WORKSHOPS AND AND SHORT SHORT COURSES COURSES - SUNDAY 

Programme 


Whatever the application or technology, the basic principles of radio communications 

systems remain the same; drawing from the familiar world of mobile phones 

all the recent advances and trends towards SDR can be illustrated. However, the 

real power of this concept reaches much further with application in many other 

areas. 

14:25–15:00 Sampling 

This is the heart of any digital radio system and understanding the principles, limitations 

and trends is fundamental to any SDR design. Key terms and defi nitions 

such as under and over sampling, aliasing of signals as well as theoretical and 

practical limitations of the sampling process are described. These and practical 

details of ADC choice and operation are an essential foundation for building SDR 

radio systems. 

15:00–15:20 Analogue and Digital Blocks 

All radio implementations require functions like fi ltering, amplifi cation, frequency 

translation, modulation and demodulation. In this section the strengths and 

weaknesses of these analogue and digital circuit blocks are described and compared. 

It is these trade-offs that often govern the system architecture and the cost 

effective location for the ADC in the system signal chain. 


15:40–16:20 Radio Architectures 

In recent years there have been essentially 3 generations of SDR architectures 

driven primarily by available ADC technology. Examples from baseband, through 

IF sampling to direct RF digitisation are described. But it so also true that the 

advances, particularly in DSP allows not only adaption of existing ideas but also 

new possible architectures, particularly in the area of multi-rate and multichannel 

systems. 

16:20–17:10 SDR Systems 

When applied to systems the concept of SRD has many other interesting applications. 

Combined with ubiquitous interconnections from other services SRD forms 

the basis of agile, adaptive, multi-rate solutions to single, multiple and asymmetric 

communications services. Examples include ad hoc networks, white space and 

cognitive radio; some examples are discussed with a focus on the core concepts 

of LTE (long term evolution) which is to form the basis of the next generation of 

mobile communications systems. 

17:10–17:30 Summary and Conclusions 

The short course is open to questions and discussions throughout, and will conclude 

with thoughts on future trends and any other questions from the participants

Radio Systems for LTE and Beyond 

Organizers: 

Chair: Chris Clifton,Sony 

Co-Chair: Lutfi Albasha, American University of Sharjah 

Abstract 

With the rapid adoption of smart phone technology and other 

multi-media terminals with high resolution/3D displays and other 

high data-rate features such as cloud based applications, there is 

no longer any doubting the necessity for a mobile communications 

technology which can satisfy the requirement for data-rates 

in access of 50Mbps. The 3GPP LTE (Long Term Evolution) and 

LTE-A (Advanced) roadmap has been positioned to meet these 

requirements and many mobile operators around the globe are 

starting to roll out LTE networks. 

One purpose of this workshop is give the attendee an introduction to 

the 3GPP roadmap and the key radio parameters as we move to the 

next step of 4G/LTE Networks and beyond towards LTE-Advanced. 

Data-rate capabilities, frequency channel allocations and physical 

layer aspects will be summarised assuming that the attendee has 

just a basic understanding of wireless communications technology 

but no or very limited knowledge of 3GPP mobile standards. 

Then, we will start to address some of the important Network and 

Protocol aspects for LTE –again, assuming only a basic knowledge 

of wireless communications technology. Finally, we will then use 

the basics described in the fi rst few presentations to discuss various 

RF architectures, focusing primarily on the UE (User Equipment) 

side. Specifi cally, we will fi rst of all focus upon the Front-End 

Architecture for mobile terminals which is being heavily impacted 

by the requirement for multiple frequency bands as well as the 

transmission and reception of wideband signals with high peakmean 

amplitude ratios. Finally, we will discuss the requirements 

and architecture for LTE-A receivers. 

In summary, this workshop has been designed to meet the needs of 

practicing RF/Microwave engineers or academics who would like 

to get a good insight into this rapidly advancing fi eld of wireless 

communications.

RF PA Effi ciency Enhancement Techniques 

Organizers: 

Prof. Steve C. Cripps, Cardiff University 

Abstract 

This workshop will feature a wide range of presentations which 

address various aspects of RFPA effi ciency enhancement. Three 

presenters from leading telecom organizations will address 

established techniques: Doherty, Envelope Tracking (ET) and 

Digital Predistortion (DPD), with an emphasis on updating the 

audience on recent developments in these areas. There will be 

three other presentations that address more novel techniques for 

effi ciency enhancement. These include dynamic load modulation 

using varactor tuning elements, the so-called “Sequential Power 

Amplifi er”, and high effi ciency RF PA design over extended 

bandwidths. The presenters are all leading contributors in both 

industrial and academic sectors.

Abstract 

The wireless sensor network paradigm has emerged as a 

highly valuable research area for good reason. A myriad of 

applications require multiple, autonomous nodes to monitor and 

activate different parameters. These nodes must be able to act 

autonomously, they need to be highly power effi cient in order 

that they can operate without intervention for an extended 

period and typically they need to be able to localize. Many WSN 

solutions are already being deployed although the fi eld is in its 

infancy. This workshop explores a wide range of fundamental 

issues for WSNs guided by experts in each fi eld. Implications 

of the application space and the propagation environment are 

discussed. Considerations determining the choice of MAC, key in 

minimizing power consumption and latency, are presented. The 

crucial issue of positioning technology for WSNs is explored and 

current developments described. Future directions in the fi eld 

are anticipated as this active research and development area 

progresses towards maturity.

RFIDs and RFID-enabled sensors: novel applications, energy harvesting and integration challenges 

Organizers: 

Apostolos Georgiadis, CTTC, Spain 

Manos Tentzeris, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA 

Abstract 

Emerging communication systems point towards the internet of 

things, a new era of ubiquitous sensor networks where RFID tags 

and sensor circuitry are used to interconnect numerous objects 

able to constantly provide useful information to the network 

users. Such nodes, consisting of RFIDs and RFID enabled sensors 

are being used in an increasing number of applications including 

identifi cation, tracking, monitoring, logistics and security. As a 

result, there is a growing need for low power, energy effi cient, selfsustainable 

and environmental 

friendly nodes. Within this context, the design of an energy 

harvesting unit that provides autonomy to the sensor nodes is 

a critical issue. Additionally, low cost, low profi le and conformal 

nodes are being sought, spurring research efforts utilizing novel 

fl exible substrate materials such as paper and textiles. 

This workshop aims to address the challenges and application of 

fl exible substrate materials such as paper, PET and textiles, as well 

as novel technologies such as inkjet printing, towards the design 

of low cost, high performance, conformal RFIDs and sensors. In 

addition, fundamental energy harvesting technologies such as 

solar and electromagnetic will be reviewed. Implementation 

challenges and design and optimization methodologies using 

circuit, electromagnetic analysis and communication theory 

applied to the design of RFID and off-body communication systems 

and harvesting circuits will be presented. Finally the workshop 

aims to report novel systems and exciting new applications such 

as RFDNA, biomonitoring, as well as monitoring of patients in 

hospital and home care and of rescue workers and soldiers during 

interventions. 

Following the speaker presentations, the fl oor will be opened 

for interactive discussion with the audience discussing topics 

such as a) power budget of an entire RFID enabled sensor from 

wireless power transmission to sensor read-out operations, b) 

advantages and limitations of CAD techniques c) robustness and 

reliability issues versus cost, d) adoption of smart textile systems 

by customers, health-care professionals and patients. 

It is the aim of this workshop to highlight state-of-art research results 

on new technologies, architectures and CAD techniques of modern 

RFID and sensor systems. Such efforts fall within the objectives 

of COST Action IC0803, on RF/Microwave Communications 

Subsystems for Emerging Wireless Technologies. This workshop 

will be benefi cial to students, engineers and researchers who want 

to learn about the current status and future trends of RFID-enabled 

sensor technologies and energy harvesting.

Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) Technology and Applications 

Organizers: 

Maurizio Bozzi,University of Pavia, Italy 

Ke Wu, École Polytechnique, Université de Montréal, Canada 

Abstract 

This workshop will present the state-of-the-art in the fi eld 

of Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) technology and its 

applications to telecommunication systems and millimeter-wave 

sensors. 

SIW technology represents a rapidly emerging technology for the 

implementation of circuits and antennas in the millimeter-wave 

region and beyond. It permits to integrated on the same substrate 

passive components, active devices, and radiating elements, 

with no need of complicated and ineffi cient interconnections. 

The fabrication process can be simple and cost effective, thus 

representing an enabling technology for small and medium 

enterprises in the market of telecommunications and sensors. 

A variety of technological platforms have been adopted for the 

implementation of SIW circuits, such as PCB, LTCC, MHMICs, MMICs 

and even CMOS processes, thus paving the road to compact and 

multilayer solutions and to fully 3D components. 

This technology is bound to become the paradigm for millimeterwave 

and THz circuits in the next decade. A growing number of 

research groups in industry and academia are active in this fi eld, as 

shown by the very large number of papers published by scientifi c 

journals and presented at international conferences. 

Worldwide recognized authorities in the fi eld of SIW components 

will present their recent achievements at this workshop. Their 

presentations will cover in a coherent way the different relevant 

areas in the fi eld of SIW technology, including: modeling and 

design of SIW circuits, interconnects and transitions, innovative 

passive and active components, novel antennas, new technological 

solutions and materials. 

This workshop will provide the attendees with a deep knowledge 

in SIW technology, and especially a clear overview of the current 

trends of the worldwide research in this area. Ten presentations 

of 30 min each are scheduled for this workshop, and one hour 

is allocated for open discussion. Researchers from the audience 

will have the possibility to give short presentations (maximum 5 

minutes) of recent signifi cant achievements or topics of general 

interest.

Passive Hardware for Space Applications 

Abstract 

Goal of this workshop is to provide a broad overview of state of the 

art passive hardware for space application. Recent developments 

and advancement in Europe will be highlighted providing an 

outlook and forum to discuss future trends. 

Current and future key components including SAW devices, MEMS 

and IF fi lters are considered as well as input and output fi lters and 

multiplexers. 

A historic review of fi lters for space application will put recent 

developments in a larger context. The workshop will also provide 

a payload perspective of today’s and future passive hardware 

requirements highlighting today’s design drivers. Apart from low 

power components, high power equipments are often needed 

with a power handling capability of several kWs. Hence fi lters and 

multiplexers in the output section are often particularly challenging 

to design and extensive qualifi cation and testing campaigns are 

conducted to prove fi t for use in space. In two short talks testing 

of high power space hardware and some recent advances in the 

analysis of RF power handling of space hardware will be shown. The 

workshop will also provide a forum to discuss latest developments 

of state of the art temperature compensated high power output 

multiplexers and associated challenges.

Design and realizations of diplexers and multiplexers 

Design of dual-band and triple-band fi lters 

Design of ultra-wideband (UWB) fi lters 

Drawing from research work sponsored by the European Space Agency, 

governments’ agencies, and several international corporations, this 

course provides modern methods of design, synthesis, and realization 

for over 25 different types of microwave fi lters and multiplexers 

operating over a frequency range from 1 GHz to 35 GHz. Students will 

learn the fundamentals of fi lter design, as well as modern techniques 

for the synthesis and practical realization of an assortment of high 

performance minimum- and non-minimum-phase fi lters, diplexers, 

and contiguous-band multiplexers. A variety of planar and non-planar 

technologies will be discussed, including microstrip, suspendedsubstrate 

stripline, single- and multi-mode cavities, and evanescentmode 

waveguide. The course is based on the instructors’ recent books 

from Wiley entitled “Advanced Design Techniques and Realizations of 

Microwave and RF Filters” (Wiley-IEEE-2008, P. Jarry and J. Beneat) 

and “Microstrip Filters for RF/Microwave Applications”, Second 

Edition (Wiley-2011, J. Hong). The course starts with a concise recall 

of the fundamental principles that can be applied to the synthesis and 

design of microwave and RF fi lters. It then goes into the complete 

analysis, modeling, and design methodology for several microwave 

structures used for fi ltering. Summarized design steps and sample 

fi lter realizations as well as measured responses are provided so RF 

and microwave engineers can have an appreciation for each fi lter in 

view of their needs. This approach produces a coherent, practical and 

real-life treatment of the subject. The course is therefore theoretical 

but also experimental with over 25 microwave fi lter realizations. In 

addition, the complexity of the fi lters and design techniques increases 

as the course progresses so that students with various backgrounds 

can benefi t from this course.

Using CAE to Model Phase-Locked Loops 

Abstract 

Modern PLL circuits are deceptively simple, often consisting of only 

a single chip and a few external components. However, they can be 

notoriously diffi cult to analyse especially for large single transient 

conditions. Modern CAE tools including Math Cad, Mat Lab, SPICE 

and ADS can be very useful in the analysis and design of PLL’s. In 

this one day class, we will take a simple charge pump PLL and 

use these tools to fully characterize the linear, noise and transient 

behaviour and compare the analysis to real world measured results. 

Starting with a very basic review of Laplace analysis and control 

theory, the linear model for the PLL will be developed. This linear 

model, implemented in Math Cad SPICE and ADS will be used to 

analyze the loop stability, optimize and predict the phase noise 

performance. This linear model can also be used for small signal 

transient analysis. 

ADS is one of the tools that can be used for large signal transient 

and fractional N simulation. First, there will be a brief introduction 

on the ADS envelope simulation. The detailed operation of the 

very import phase detector and VCO/N blocks will be discussed. 

The model for the loop will be constructed and simulated under 

various transient conditions.

MicroDoppler Analysis – Signatures & Applications 

Abstract 

Radar echoes containing micro-Doppler frequency modulations 

can be processed and analyzed to determine motion characteristics 

of target component parts. To date,most R&D efforts to exploit 

such signatures support Defence and Security applications. 

Examples include: Characterizing modes of human locomotion 

and distinguishing between bipedal and quadripedal motion; 

Estimating periods of mechanically rotating antennas, propeller 

blades, etc.; Distinguishing between wheeled and tracked vehicles, 

and between rotating and non-rotating or spinning objects such as 

projectiles, missiles, etc.. 

The two goals of this workshop are: Review pertinent R&D topics 

elaborated during the past decade and highlight various efforts, and, 

Explore the potential of exploiting radar-based micro-Doppler 

signatures in civil applications. Examples include: persistent 

monitoring of equipment and component failure prediction; 

automotive safety applications; robotic process control monitoring; 

health monitoring, etc.. 

Keynote presentations will include a tutorial and address topics 

relevant to the exploitation of micro-Doppler signatures. 

An interactive plenary discussion with a panel of active researchers 

will consider various civil applications. 

As an example of a civil application, a “Weapons of Mosquito 

Destruction” is described in the March 14, 2009 Wall Street 

Journal. This article describes a prototype laser system capable 

of detecting, tracking and destroying mosquitoes that transmit 

malaria based upon analysis of wing-beat frequencies. Can this 

discrimination be adapted to microwave or laser-radar 

micro-Doppler signatures? 

Workshop participants are invited to submit questions, topics 

or related ideas for comment by the panel. We encourage these 

submissions be emailed to the workshop organizers prior to the 

workshop date.

Multistatic and Passive Radar Technologies

Prof. Mike Cherniakov 

University of Birmingham, UK (m.cherniakov@bham.ac.uk) 

Prof. Krzysztof Kulpa 

Warsaw University of Technology, Poland (kkulpa@elka.pw.edu.pl) 

Abstract 

Bistatic and multistatic radars are based on established concepts 

from the early days of radar development. For example the well 

known fi rst British radar experiment in 1935, known as Daventry 

Experiment, was based on a bistatic concept, exploiting BBC radio 

transmitter as the source of illumination. Over the past century 

interest in these systems oscillate up and down in an approximate 

20 years cycle. Currently we are the witnesses of a new peak of 

interest in these systems which is fueled by a number of factors: more 

and more sophisticated challenges for remote sensing technology; 

new threats and warfare principles; general technological progress 

in DSP area enabling multistatic radar to develop from theoretical 

research into a practical domain; and cross fertilization from other 

areas of engineering and science. 

During the workshop scientists from Germany, UK, Poland, Russia 

and Holland will deliver new results in this fascinating fi eld of 

knowledge. The attendees will be given the opportunity to learn 

about the subject fi rst hand from and discuss relevant problems 

with the researchers leading in the area of multistatic radar. The 

fi rst two presentations contain educational content in addition to 

the innovative, so even audience with little experience in multistatic 

radar would feel themselves comfortable during the workshop. 

The presentation will start with introduction to Bistatic radar with 

an overview of the basic problems and achievements in this area. 

The second talk will be entirely dedicated to a special case of 

bistatic radar, namely: Forward Scatter Radar (FSR). Starting with 

the basics of FSR the presenter will introduce the latest results 

in ground target detection. Passive Coherent Location (PCL), i.e. 

radar using non cooperative transmitters (broadcasting station, 

satellite navigation, etc.) as the source of microwave energy is the 

subject of the next presentation. PCL is one of the most prospective 

directions in multistatic radar and is in a focus of many researchers 

worldwide. FSR were developed fi rst of all for air targets detection. 

During the workshop the state of the art information in this area 

and specifi cally targets’ precise tracking will be discussed. Finally, 

the concept of the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) in radar 

technology will be overviewed and the latest results in targets 

detection and imaging will be presented. MIMO technology is 

based on concepts developed in wireless communications which 

have been effectively adapted by the radar community.

academics give an overview on the current position on mitigation 

of wind farm impacts on radar. 

The workshop is aimed at radar professionals, consultants, end 

users and other interested parties. Topics covered include how to 

avoid planning objections on the grounds of radar interference, 

some of the technical solutions presented to the problem and 

experience to date. While the emphasis is on air surveillance and 

air traffi c control radars the workshop will also cover impact on 

marine radar, a topic of increasing importance for offshore wind 

farm deployment.

Fundamentals of Radar and the Impact of Wind Farms 

Organizers: 

Professor A.K. (Tony) Brown, University of Manchester‘ UK 

Dr Laith Rashid, University of Manchester, UK 

Abstract 

This short course is aimed at the non-radar expert, those new to the 

fi eld, key stake holders, doctoral students and others. Operational 

experience and fi eld trials show that wind farms located within 

the line of sight of radar can cause interference with the radar 

performance. In order to appreciate this impact, an understanding of 

radar fundamentals and the main causes of the wind farm induced 

interference is essential. This short course is designed for those who 

have an interest in wind farm impacts but who are either not experts 

in radar or in interference issues or both. The session will outline radar 

operation and the detection principles for static and moving objects, 

together with an overview of the types of radars used in aviation and 

navigation. It will then identify the cause of the interference caused 

by wind turbines, identifying the main scattering characteristics of 

the turbine as an individual entity and the wind farm in totality. The 

scattering from the rotating blades, the static components and the 

multiple refl ections of the radar signal within the wind farm will be 

addressed individually and their effect on each type of radars will be 

briefl y explained. Some of the available mitigation measures will also 

be identifi ed with their potential benefi ts and limitations.

Millimeter measurements and signal 

generation: Optimizing solutions and 

techniques 

Applications for millimeter frequency technologies continue to 

expand, and the choices for generating and analyzing signals are 

expanding as well. This paper discusses how to choose among the 

latest and best solutions for millimeter measurements including 

those that offer the highest performance, wide bandwidth, and 

lowest cost. The latest external mixing and down-conversion 

solutions are compared, including new “smart mixers” which 

offer improved performance and convenience at a comparatively 

low cost. Ultra-wideband digital sampling is also discussed, and 

compared with more traditional down-converting approaches. 

11:15 – 12:30 

Optimizing performance and best practices 

for millimeter measurements 

Millimeter-wave signal measurements are challenging in every 

way. From the choice of internal vs. external mixing to comparing 

coax vs. waveguide, to basic measurement connection and setup, 

every decision makes a difference. This paper covers best practices 

for different confi gurations and for narrowband vs. wideband 

signals. Simple spur searches to complex digital demodulation 

will be discussed, including real-world tradeoffs and expected 

performance levels. 

13:30 – 14:45 

Device Characterization at Terahertz 

Until recently, device characterization in the millimeter range 

of frequencies (70GHz-1THz) consisted of measuring passive 

2-port S-parameters only. However, with the increasing demand 

for higher frequency materials measurements, semiconductor 

device characterization, security, radar, and radio astronomy 

have been driving requirements for more complex measurements 

at higher frequencies. As a result it drives the need for new 

millimeter measurement system capabilities that addresses 

these requirements. This presentation will focus on the required 

features and introduces the new PNA-X THz VNA that targets 

these measurements. In addition measurement examples will be 

presented that enables device characterization of amplifi ers and 

mixers by providing measurements such as absolute power, gain 

compression, 4-port S-parameters, and balanced S-parameters. In 

addition the subject of calibration challenges in both waveguide and 

on-wafer will be covered and how these are addressed through the 

rich set of calibration options are available to ensure measurement 

accuracy in both waveguide and probed environments. 

15:00 – 16:00 

Radar Pulse Measurements using Peak 

Power Analyzer 

Pulse measurements on time domain analysis has been critical part 

of Radar, EW (Electronic Warfare) systems design & manufacturing. 

Modern radar pulse measurements have historically presented 

many challenges for the design engineer, production test manager 

and fi eld technician. The new 8990B Peak Power Analyzer (PPA) 

will help you to address these challenges. 

This workshop will explain some key features and illustrate how 

the peak power analyzer is used to measure and analysis pulse 

rise/fall time, pulse width, duty cycle and PRF in T/R module or 

power amplifi er test. We will also show how to make pulse droop 

measurement effi ciently and the delay measurement on these 

applications. Then we will also work on an example of pulse reply 

& delay measurement in Radar transponder validation/compliance 

test. 

The new 8990B has higher performance coupled with more features 

offering better value. The 8990B PPA has a 15” color LCD with the 

capability of measuring 5nsec pulse rise/fall time, besides the other 

14 points pulse parameter analysis (pulse top, pulse droop, pulse 

width, PRI, PRF, etc). The PPA provides the user with oscilloscopelike 

interface, intuitively making the pulse measurement easy. 

16:15 – 17:15 

A cost effi cient scalar network analyzer 

solution 

Nowadays the possibility to perform some sort of stimulusresponse 

measurements on the device under test is important 

to understand the behavior of the device itself. An alternative to 

the classic Scalar Network analyzer can be a setup using power 

sensors and a dedicated software. The Scalar Network Analysis 

Tool removes the need for programming and automates the 

calibration procedures of the setup, saving you time and effort. 

The program performs stimulus-response measurements such as 

gain, insertion loss and returns loss, and then plots the results on a 

graph for easy analysis. This system will allow the user to achieve a 

wide dynamic range and frequency range up to 110GHz. The paper 

presentation also elaborates on the detail setup of the software 

and its functionalities and utilities.

High-Power Measurements using the 

Agilent Nonlinear Vector Network Analyzer 

High-power amplifi ers are commonly found in communications 

handsets and base stations where the maximum power levels 

may range from 1W to well over 100W. The characterization of 

such high- power amplifi ers can be very challenging due to their 

nonlinear performance and the high power levels involved. A vector 

network analyzer (VNA) may be used to measure the S-Parameters, 

IMD, compression, and other characteristics of such devices if the

EXHIBITOR WORKSHOPS MONDAYAND 

SEMINARS 

VNA test set is modifi ed to output and receive high power levels. 

However, for high-power amplifi ers a nonlinear vector network 

analyzer (NVNA) should be used to accurately characterize both 

the linear and nonlinear behavior of the amplifi er and to extract its 

X-Parameters. This will result in a more complete characterization 

of the amplifi er and will shorten the design cycle. This presentation 

will describe the key values of nonlinear vector network analysis 

and will discuss various NVNA confi gurations and calibration 

techniques to handle high-power devices without damaging the 

network analyzer and without sacrifi cing measurement accuracy. 

13:30 – 15:00 

X-parameter workshop 

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

Analyzer (NVNA) measurement capability. A simple measurement 

confi guration, calibration process and new phase calibration 

module provide vector corrected nonlinear measurements from 10 

MHz to 50 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 

(ADS). 

15:15 – 17:15 

Active and Hybrid- 

Active Load Pull, 

Noise Parameters and X-Parameters - an 

Update on Load Pull Applications by Maury 

Microwave Corporation 

This workshop will showcase advancements of non-50 Ω PNA-X 

extensions including Active and Hybrid Load Pull, Noise Parameters 

and the newest developments in on non-50 Ω X-Parameters. 

Active and hybrid-active load pull makes use of vector-receiver 

methodology and takes load pull one step further, replacing or 

complementing passive mechanical tuners with open-loop active 

tuning chains for the fundamental and/or harmonic frequencies. 

Active and hybrid-active tuning increases attainable gammas (with 

°>1 achievable at fundamental and harmonic frequencies) and 

increases tuning speed by reducing/eliminating mechanical tuner 

movements. Noise parameter measurements use a dedicated noise 

receiver or standard vector receiver inside the PNA-X to measure 

noise power as a function of frequency and source impedance. 

Several noise parameter techniques will be compared. Finally, 

advances in non-50 Ω X-Parameters including multi-tone, nonharmonic 

and other breakthroughs will be discussed. 

Thursday 13th October 

09:45 – 11:00 

Which EM Solver should I use? 

Different applications require different EM simulation technologies, 

but it is not always easy to determine which technology is best 

for a particular application. In this workshop we will review the 

most common EM simulations technologies in use today for RF, 

microwave and high-speed design projects: Method of Moments 

(MoM), Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Time 

Domain (FDTD). We will start with some background theory, and 

then show several application examples that highlight the strength 

of each technology. 

11:15 – 12:30 

EM Simulation Technology Update 

Electro-Magnetic simulation is becoming an increasingly important 

technology to improve the accuracy of RF/uW circuits. During this 

workshop we will discuss the latest technology additions to the 

Momentum and 3D EM solvers in ADS and EMPro. We will also 

review the new unifi ed EM simulation setups in ADS 2011 and 

discover its application to the integrated EM analysis of multitechnology 

structures consisting of MMICs, Modules and PCBs

RF Multi-contact RF 

Measurement Solutions 

by Cascade Microtech 

With a growing demand for consumer 

products working in RF, Microwave and 

mm-wave frequency ranges, many circuits now need multiple DC 

and RF test connections with frequencies up to 110GHz. Applications 

such as wireless HDMI and automotive collision avoidance radar 

are examples of demanding applications that traditional multicontact 

probes cannot address. This session introduces new probe 

technologies and calibration techniques that are now available to 

address these needs. 

15:00 – 16:15

Basics of Modern Signal Generators 

Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011 10:00 – 11:30 

The following topics will be covered by the workshop: 

• Fundamental structures of signal generators 

• Challenges in low phase noise and high output power 

• High-performance analog and pulse modulations 

• Practical demonstrations for typical applications 

Comparison of Sophisticated Synthesizer 

Concepts and Modern Step Attenuator 

Implementations 

Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011 12:00 – 13:00 

Setting a frequency on a signal generator should always be fast 

and accurate. This workshop will look at two different synthesizer 

concepts that fulfi ll this task. The attendee will learn about the 

advantages and disadvantages of YIG- or VCO-based synthesizers. 

To set a specifi c low output power on a signal generator, an 

internal step attenuator is normally used, which should again be 

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

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

their advantages and limitations. 

Modern Way of Generating Frequencies up 

to 110 GHz 

Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011 14:00 – 15:00 

The use of traditional frequency multipliers for higher frequencies 

is not a straightforward solution. The setup normally consists of 

a signal generator, the frequency multiplier itself and an external 

attenuator. Power calibration must be performed for each frequency 

that is used. 

The new frequency multipliers from Rohde & Schwarz offer builtin 

attenuators and can be directly controlled from the signal 

generator. As all elements act as a single instrument, generating a 

signal up to 110 GHz is extremely easy. This workshop shows how 

to save time and space and avoid measurement errors by using the 

new Rohde & Schwarz frequency multipliers.

Precise Microwave Power Measurements 

Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011 15:30 – 17:00 

Precise power measurements have always been a challenging 

task in the design and production of microwave components. This 

workshop introduces the different power sensor technologies and 

describes their typical applications. It will explain how to determine 

measurement accuracy, and commonly overlooked causes of 

measurement errors will be discussed, such as the infl uence of 

mismatch. 

In a practical session, it will be demonstrated how to create a precise 

directional power sensor by combining a directional coupler and a 

standard terminating power sensor. The S-parameters of the coupler 

are fully characterized using a network analyzer. By embedding the 

resulting data into the power sensor, a highly accurate directional 

power sensor can be created. 

Another practical example will demonstrate how to improve 

measurement accuracy by characterizing the signal source and 

using this data as a gamma correction for the power sensor.

Non-50-Ohm Component 

Characterization Using a 

Vector Network Analyzer 

In cooperation with NMDG N.V. 

Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011 15:30 – 17:00 

Vector network analyzers are important engineering tools in the 

design and test of high-frequency components. But one can get 

more out of a network analyzer. It is necessary to make tradeoffs 

between performance and price. Delivered power, power 

added effi ciency, gain and noise fi gure are important performance 

factors, for example. Even for mobile applications, these factors 

require the capability to measure in a non-50-Ohm environment. 

Optimal performance requires simultaneous tuning at different 

frequencies. 

This workshop shows how modern vector network analyzers 

can perform non-50-Ohm component characterization. The 

attendee will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of 

the commercially available approaches. Standard vector network 

analyzers have power limitations. Therefore, it will be explained 

how the non-50-Ohm capability can be extended to include higher 

powers. 

To conclude the workshop, it will be shown how the collected data 

can be used for design purposes in simulation tools together with 

other simulated circuits.

characterization is required in some application fi elds and how 

users can benefi t from it in general. Typical linear and nonlinear 

measurements performed with a VNA are described briefl y, and 

competitive single-connection setups based on an R&S ® ZVA are 

shown and explained. In addition, calibration issues and suitable 

methods are discussed as well.

2. Nonlinear Co-Simulation with Real-Time 

Channel Measurements for PCB Signal 

Integrity (This session will be done in 

partnership with AWR) 

Channel measurements are normally passive but can involve 

changes over time as operating conditions may vary due to 

coupling. While these measurements may be linear, they are 

often combined with nonlinear performance metrics, such as eyediagrams. 

Complicating this is the need to switch between singleended 

and balanced confi gurations. This session will demonstrate 

the combination of nonlinear simulation of a GHz SerDes link 

with the real-time linear measurement of the channel on a single 

platform.

Developing Innovative Test Measurement 

Analysis for Wireless Networks 

As wireless RF and microwave environments become more and 

more dense due to coexistence of multiple technologies on the same 

site, the increase of more RF transmitters, the wide deployment of 

repeaters, and where multiple service providers often share the 

same site, challenges have arisen for RF Installation & Maintenance. 

This technology ‘bottleneck’ has placed pressure on RF Network and 

Spectral trouble-shooting teams to locate and rapidly resolve QAS 

(Quality of Service) issues which are a two-fold problem. One: the 

ability to accurately make consistent measurements under severe 

working conditions and secondly, the ability to quickly analyze and 

report the data. This tutorial will demonstrate techniques in signal 

interference troubleshooting including the capture of transient 

signals, remote measurements and network analysis measurements 

in the fi eld and explain ways to optimize RF testing procedures. 

11:00 – 12:30 

Using a wideband Arbitrary Waveform 

Generator for Advanced Signal Simulation 

In many applications, including radar, UWB, EW and SIGINT, the 

modulation bandwidth requirements are constantly increasing. At 

the same time excellent signal fi delity is necessary and distortions 

have to be kept at a minimum. Traditional RF signal generators 

can provide the required signal purity, but most of them offer 

modulation bandwidths of only about 100 MHz. External arbitrary 

waveform generators and IQ modulators can achieve a much larger 

bandwidth, but the downside to their use is carrier feed-through 

and images generated by the frequency up-conversion of the base 

band signal. Another alternative is the digital I/Q modulation inside 

the arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) in the required frequency 

band. This paper introduces a solution using a wide-bandwidth, 

high-precision AWG to generate waveforms with 2 GHz or more 

of modulation bandwidth and discusses the pros and cons of the 

different alternatives. Additionally various UWB measurement 

examples are going to be presented during the talk. 

13:30 – 15:00 

Techniques of RF Pulsed Signal Generation 

and Analysis for Radar and Electronic Warfare 

Applications 

Radar and electronic warfare (EW) are the largest application 

areas for pulsed signals. They pose many unique requirements in 

terms of the types of signals used and the analysis that must be 

performed to ensure system performance. There are many different 

tools and methods we must employ for radar and EW emitter testing 

from component characterization to system verifi cation. Complex 

modulations, multiple coherent emitters and wider bandwidths 

provide further challenges for high performance designs. This 

presentation will review the measurements that can be useful in 

testing pulsed radars, from basic measurements through techniques 

for coherent, multichannel systems utilizing pulse compression. 

15:15 – 17:00 

Optimizing Spurious Measurements for 

Speed and Accuracy 

Finding and measuring spurious signals is a common task and 

frequently a frustrating one. Measurements can take too much 

time, and accuracy near the analyzer noise fl oor can be a concern. 

This paper summarizes the main factors for effi cient spur search, 

plus how to take maximum advantage of the capabilities of 

modern signal analyzers. The paper also discusses optimizing 

the measurement tradeoffs between speed, dynamic range, and 

accuracy. 

Thursday 13th October 

09:30 – 10:45 

Using the PNA-X 

to Improve Load 

Pull Accuracy and Shorten Measurement Time 

by AMCAD Engineering 

This workshop will showcase advancements in load pull 

methodology when using a PNA-X. Vector-Receiver Load Pull 

represents the next evolution in load pull methodology, replacing 

scalar power meters and spectrum analyzers with vector receivers. 

As such, parameters such as large signal input impedance, delivered 

input power, true power gain and power added effi ciency can 

be easily determined, as well as vector parameters such as AM/ 

PM. Overall measurement time is reduced by over 50-75% since 

multiple source-pull load-pull iterations are eliminated, and data 

accuracy is improved by measuring at the DUT reference plane in 

real time. 

11:00 – 12:30 

Nanoscale Characterization of Dielectric and 

Electronic Properties at 20 GHz: the Scanning 

Microwave Microscope 

Scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) is a novel approach 

combining an atomic force microscope (AFM) with a performance 

network analyzer (PNA). Advanced microwave network analysis 

on the nanoscale allows to measure complex materials properties 

for nanoelectronics, materials science, and life science applications 

with operating frequencies ranging between 1MHz and 60 GHz. 

Here we present the basic working principle of SMM and the fi rst 

measurement of complex impedance at the nanoscale. Ultrasensitive 

and calibrated measurements of nanoscale capacitances 

are shown with a noise level of ~1 aF (atto-Farad) useful for 

materials science investigations. Calibrated dopant profi les are 

measured from 10E14 to 10E20 atoms/cm3 for nano-electronics 

and semiconductor characterization. Experimental investigations 

are complemented by ADS and EMPro modeling.
