Welcome to the 11th EuropeanMicrowave Week 2008

The European Microwave Week 2008 continues the series of successful microwave events, since its start in 1998 with its 11th Conference and Exhibition Week. From October 27th through 31st, 2008 the event will be held again in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This conference series has continued to grow and is now the premier event in this field in Europe. The European Microwave Week consists of four conferences:• The 38th European Microwave Conference (EuMC)• The 3rd European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC)• The 1st European Wireless Technology Conference (EuWiT)• The 5th European Radar Conference (EuRAD)

The Week provides the opportunity to attend these four conferences, various workshops and short courses given by leading experts in the field. In addition to the conferences the European Microwave Exhibition provides a unique market place for the delegates to engage with the leading companies on the largest trade show on RF and Microwaves in Europe.

For the first time EuMW2008 also offers a number of very attractive side events. IQPC’s Military Radar Conference will be collocated and accessible to EuMW delegates. Forum and panel discussions will be organized on topics of special interest. We will host a Women in Engineering event and also a special competition, the EuMW2008 Student Challenge.

The ambition of the 11th European Microwave Week 2008 is to introduce a lead theme to bind the 4 conferences, the trade show and the application areas. For EuMW2008 the central theme will be “Bridging Gaps” to encourage interaction between research and application development.

The EuMW2008 event is the first to focus on the needs of engineers and researchers for the creation of innovative applications, products and services by providing an inspiring environment for discussion between academia and industry. We hope to enable the two communities to share the latest trends and developments that are widening the field of application of microwaves. Microwave devices, systems for telecommunications (both terrestrial and space borne), transportation, medical, radar as well as new fields of application will be present in the programme. Special attention has been put on the coordination of areas of common interest between the different conferences, workshops and short courses.

The four conferences specifically target ground breaking innovation in microwave research through a call for papers explicitly inviting to submit presentations on the latest trends in the field driven by the roadmaps of the industry.

The tradeshow area will accommodate floor space for “Bridging Gaps” exhibition pavilions where EuMW Science and Technology “meets” applications.

The location of EuMW2008 will be the Amsterdam RAI. The venue is easy to access with very good transportation from Schiphol Amsterdam Airport and railway stations. Hotel accommodation is available throughout Amsterdam with good connection to the Amsterdam RAI convention centre by public transportation.

We are proud to present to you the programme of EuMW2008 which could not have been achieved without the valuable contribution of many enthusiastic colleagues in industry, research centres and universities all over the world who have helped to organize this year’s event in Amsterdam.

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee we would like to express our gratitude to the four international Technical Programme Committees and the hundreds of reviewers who worked hard to shape the record number of individual contributions into the final programmes.

Also we like to thank those who organized the workshops, the focussed sessions, the short courses and the special events which we believe are an essential element to fulfil the needs of our delegates.

And last but not least it has been a great pleasure to cooperate with Horizon House. Their experience and support again proved invaluable for guiding the chair and his team through all the steps of organizing a challenging event.

We are convinced that you will find the European Microwave Week 2008 to be unique, refreshing and inspiring offering many opportunities to learn about new ideas and to share some of your own with other delegates and colleagues. We look forward to welcome you in Amsterdam at the 11th European Microwave Week. Frank van den Bogaart General Chair

Welcome from the President of the European Microwave Association

I am privileged to welcome you to the 11th European Microwave Week (EuMW), an initiative of the European Microwave Association (EuMA), founded in 1998 as a non-profit organisation based in Belgium. Amsterdam is a special place for EuMA, since it is the venue of the first EuMW, initiated in 1998 by complementing the European Microwave Conference (EuMC), the most prestigious microwave event in Europe since 1969, with two other major conferences in related areas, workshops, short courses and a large technical exhibition. Amsterdam is also the venue of the first EuRAD, which was added to the EuMW in 2004. I am pleased to acknowledge the fruitful collaboration with the IEEE MTT Society (technical co-sponsor of EuWiT) and the GAAS® Association (co-sponsor of EuMIC, formerly GAAS) in creating such event, which has now become the Europe’s premier microwave, RF, wireless, and Radar event, attracting on average 1,500 delegates, with a record of about 1100 papers submitted and a 7500 m2 exhibition.

Originally created in order to run on a firm legal basis the EuMW, EuMA has more recently undertaken initiatives for better serving the microwave community worldwide. The association has been opened to general membership, so that all microwave engineers from all over the world can join the EuMA as Members or Student Members. Many EuMA members now come from US and Asian countries. I am glad to announce that the General Assembly, the highest governing body of the association gathering representatives from European countries, has recently approved a motion to include also representatives from North America and Asia Pacific. This is a first step towards the creation of a truly trans-national association. I expect that this move will trigger similar and coordinated actions by other technical communities in Europe with whom EuMA has various collaborations.

If you are not a EuMA member yet I encourage you to join. You will be entitled to discounted fees for attending EuMA and EuMA-sponsored conferences and workshops, participate in EuMA activities, receive the EuMA Newsletter, and pay a discounted

price both for the 2 EuMC DVD Archives which include all papers from the EuMC (1969 - 2003 and 2004 - 2008 respectively) and subscription to the EuMA Proceedings, a quarterly peer-reviewed journal. The journal is being totally reshaped to become a truly authoritative European Journal, under a new name and a new publisher. To join EuMA or to renew your membership simply go to EuMA Desk located in the registration area or to the web page www.eumwa.org, follow the instruction on the screen and pay a modest fee of € 20 (€ 10 for students) after choosing your preferred payment method. This will be more than compensated for by the discount you will get in registration fees (non member registration fee is 30% more expensive), DVD and journal subscription prices. For new members and EuMW delegates it will be our pleasure to give you an EuMA welcome gift, that you can receive at the EuMA Desk.

EuMA is proud to acknowledge those individuals who have given exceptional contributions to the microwave community. In 2004 the Distinguished Service Award, was established to “recognize an individual who has given outstanding service for the benefit of the European microwave community and, in particular, for the advancement of the European Microwave Association”. In addition, a new award, the Outstanding Career Award will be presented for the first time this year to recognize an individual “whose career has exemplified outstanding achievements in the field of Microwaves”. Both awards for 2008 will be presented during the opening ceremony of the EuMW.

This is the third EuMW held in Amsterdam after the successful events in 1998 and 2004, within the third 5-year cycle through Europe, continuing on to Rome 2009, Paris 2010 and Manchester 2011. Horizon House is arranging the EuMW, together with the EuMA for the sixth year now and we are proud to offer the scientific community such an outstanding conference week.

A special word of welcome to the organizers and delegates of the IQPC Military Radar Conference, which is collocated with the EuMW in the RAI this year. EuMA looks forward to a successful cooperation and hopes for fruitful networking and welcomes the IQPC delegates who participate in the EuRAD conference.

I would like to conclude my welcome message by extending my sincere thanks to TNO for making available people and resources to perform the local organization of the EuMW. Furthermore I would like to thank Frank van den Bogaart, 11th EuMW General Chairman, Peter Hoogeboom, Chairman of the 38th EuMC, Herbert Zirath, Chairman of EuMIC 2008, Homayoun Nikookar, Chairman of EuWiT 2008, and Alexander Yarovoy, Chairman of EuRAD 2008, for setting up four outstanding technical and scientific programs for this memorable event in Amsterdam.

Welcome to EuMC 2008

At the time of writing this welcome message The Week is still far in the future, but the tension is rising. Excitement surrounds the various teams that cooperate closely to bring you a worthwhile and memorable 11th European Microwave Week 2008 in Amsterdam. Meetings, phonecalls and emails are innocent and silent witnesses of what is sure to come.

We, Dominique Schreurs, Jan Geralt bij de Vaate and Peter Hoogeboom volunteered to organize the 38th European Microwave Conference (EuMC). We worked enthusiastically in a balanced atmosphere of new ideas and proven, valuable events and now we await in high expectation what is to come. We have undertaken many efforts to produce an interesting programme for you at the conference and in various side events.

The EuMC is the largest conference in The Week, running from Tuesday until Thursday. The conference workshops extend the event to the full working week. The conference covers a broad range of technological and engineering themes in Passive and Active Components, Circuits and Sub-Systems. Many common topics with all three other conferences underline the synergy in Microwaves. In the Electromagnetism theme and the Microwave Systems and Applications themes attention is paid to Medical and Biological Effects, extending to Quality of Life. Several focussed sessions will take place here and in the opening session a keynote address on Quality of Life is programmed. Don‘t miss the other plenary talks. On Thursday a pre-closing plenary with two invited papers is programmed.

Homeland Security is also a newcomer. A focussed session, common with EuRAD, on the European SOSTAR (Stand Off Surveillance and Target Acquisition Radar) system is organized in this respect.

The yearly Military Radar Conference of IQPC (International Quality and Productivity Center) in London will be collocated with The Week. The conference will have its own programme on Tuesday and Wednesday (see page 96-101). The Military Radar

delegates can visit the large exhibition and participate in the EuRAD sessions and of course like everybody else in all conference workshops. Likewise, participants of The Week can register for IQPC’s Military Radar Conference at a reduced rate and benefit from the presentations that are organized in this area.

Together with EuRAD an Interactive Poster Session (IPS) is organized on Thursday for the first time. Authors who signed up for a presentation in the IPS will demonstrate their results with laptops and equipment, rather then with static paper poster presentations. A special IPS demonstration environment, consisting of tables, walls and electric power will be set up near the regular poster session in the exhibition hall.

On Wednesday the IPS tables will be used for the preparation of the posters for the EuMW2008 Student Challenge. During the lunchbreak on Thursday participating students will present a poster on ideas and results that came up during The Week, inspired by EuMW presentations. The posters will cover topics that have been supplied by the organization. The competition is fully organized by PhD students. The best presentation will receive the EuMW2008 Student Challenge Prize with a value of € 1500, sponsored by Thales Nederland. The award ceremony takes place in the EuMW/EuMC closing session. How to participate and more information on the event can be found on page 23.

For the first time in The Week, a Women In Engineering event is organized. Taking place on Wednesday evening after the sessions, the ladies and hopefully some men who participate will hear presentations on gender issues and making up of careers, followed by discussions and networking in the Amsterdam café at the RAI, where drinks and snacks will be served. The event is free of charge, thanks to sponsorship by the Netherlands National Science Foundation STW. See page 22 for information and registration.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we welcome you to the EuMC and look forward to share an interesting and successful week in Amsterdam.

Welcome to EuRAD 2008

A warm welcome to the 5th European Radar Conference (EuRAD) being held in Amsterdam as part of the European Microwave Week (EuMW). EuRAD started in Amsterdam 5 years ago thanks to the inspiration and determination of Leo Ligthart. Since then the number of submitted and accepted papers almost doubled and EuRAD has grown to one of the largest European and world-wide recognized Radar events.

This year we have received over 160 contributions to the conference, not only from Europe but also from America, Asia and Africa. They cover a wide range of radar topics including Technology, Signal Processing, System Design and Evaluation, and Various Applications. Also included this year are Environmental Remote Sensing Systems for Hazard Prevention and Monitoring Applications, Homeland Security and Military Related Systems as well as Radars for Surveillance, Transport Guidance and Control. Based on submitted papers the TPC put together a conference programme of excellent quality and general interest. The programme focuses on:

a) Modern Developments in Radar including Active Phased Arrays and Ultra-Wideband Technology as well as their Applications in High-Resolution and Imaging Radars,

b) Advanced Signal Processing for Target Tracking and Classification and

c) Radar Sensor Networks.

The conference programme combines oral sessions, joint sessions with the European Microwave Conference (EuMC), a poster session and an interactive poster session. The program will give a wide overview on the most recent advances in Radar and Radar Applications. In the opening session of EuRAD discussion on future radar developments in the U.S. will be complemented with an overview of one of the most successful recent radar projects in Europe – PAMIR Active Phased Array System. At the closing session the Dutch Government-Industry Approach Towards Long Term Radar Innovations will be presented.

The conference programme is completed with 4 workshops on “SKA: Extremely Large Receiver Systems“, “System and Technology Aspects of Future Active Phased Array Radars“, “Ad-Hoc Radar Sensor Networks“ and “Radar Performance Prediction Based on Tests and Simulations“. The first two workshops are organized jointly with EuMC.

Amsterdam is a place for innovations. It was here that EuMW has started in 1998, EuRAD has been launched in 2004 and this year for the first time we introduce an Interactive Poster (or demo) Session (IPS). This IPS will be held jointly with EuMC on Thursday. During this session the authors can present real-time operation of developed hardware or software or demonstrate movies (slide-shows) showing the operation of complete systems. The IPS gives an excellent chance to bridge university science with industrial developments. Also for the first time the EuRAD conference will be attended by delegates of the Military Radar Conference of IQPC, which will be held in parallel with the EuMW.

The conference will be held during two days in the RAI. On Thursday the delegates can access the largest European microwave exhibition and in the evening they are invited to join the EuRAD conference dinner on board of a cruise ship. The dinner is sponsored by Thales Nederland. During the dinner the company‘s CEO will address the participants.

Two EuMA Radar Awards sponsored by Raytheon will be presented at the closing session of the EuRAD conference. The Radar Prize of € 3,000 is awarded to the paper that best advances the state-of-the-art in radar. The Young Engineer Prize of € 2,000 is awarded to a young engineer or researcher who has presented an outstanding paper at the conference. Furthermore the best innovative demonstration prize of € 1,000 will be awarded by Thales Nederland to the best presentation at the IPS.

Finally, we express our sincere thanks to the authors for submitting their papers and presenting their results, to the reviewers for their thorough evaluation of submitted papers. We thank the invited speakers, the organizers of workshops and focussed sessions, and the TPC members for selecting best papers for the conference programme. We also thank Thales Nederland and Raytheon for their conference sponsorship. Our particular thanks are to Leo Ligthart for his encouragement, help and permanent support during the whole track of conference preparation, to Frank van den Bogaart as General Chair of EuMW, to Jan-Geralt bij de Vaate as EuMW Programme Chair, to Peter Hoogeboom as EuMC Chair, to Marc van Heijningen as EuMW Secretary and to all the members of the excellent team who provided so much assistance and support in organizing the conference. Most important of all, however, our sincere thanks go to you for attending the conference.

Together with all our colleagues of the Technical Programme Committee, we wish you a most enjoyable, fruitful and successful stay in Amsterdam.

REVIEWERS 2008


GENERAL INFORMATION

Welcome to EuMW2008Celebrate the very best in Microwaves and RF at the 11th European Microwave Week, held at the Amsterdam RAI. The Week covers FIVE days and will provide an intoxicating mix of FOUR strong and challenging conferences, complemented by ONE healthy exhibition featuring international players. In addition, the 2008 Military Radar Conference will be collocated with EuMW2008 for the first time, enabling cross participation in sessions and workshops and providing additional opportunities for networking, thereby strengthening the “Bridging Gaps” theme.

European Microwave Week is the premier European conference and exhibition for microwave, wireless communications, microwave integrated circuit and radar professionals working in industry, academia and commerce.

Choose from four separate but complementary conferences. Spanning the length of the week, starting from Monday 27th October, the conferences are scheduled as follows:

27-28 October 2008: European Microwave Integrated • Circuits Conference (EuMIC) 27-28 October 2008: European Wireless Technology • Conference (EuWiT)28-31 October 2008: European Microwave Conference • (EuMC)30-31 October 2008: European Radar Conference (EuRAD)•

Adjacent to each conference a number of workshops and short courses are organized that enable in-depth discussions and presentations on topical and state-of-the-art developments. Reserve some time in your agenda to participate in these workshops before or after your conference. The information content is high, the costs are low.

This year we expect over 1700 conference delegate registrations and over 5000 visitors to the 250 plus exhibitors, at this exciting venue.

CONFERENCE REGISTRATION AND LOCATIONOnsite registration begins on Sunday 26th Oct (16:00 – 19:00) and commences at 07:30 each morning from Monday 27th to Friday 31st.

The conference will be held in different rooms over the conference dates. Please refer to the Conference Matrix at the back of this booklet for a detailed overview.

Delegates should register for one, two, three or all four of the conferences. Registration at one conference does not allow any access to other conference sessions. Those who wish to register for two or more conferences will receive a discount on these registrations.

Fees and discounts are all explained on the registration form, which can be found in the middle of this booklet. Pre-registration is easy, either complete the form within this booklet and return by post or fax, or register online. Delegates can self-register on the secure website,www.eumwregistration.com or through www.eumweek.com

GETTING TO THE AMSTERDAM RAI, THE NETHERLANDSAmsterdam RAI is situated next to the Ring A10, exit S109. There is a stop for Tram 4 in front of the building and the railway station, Amsterdam RAI, is within walking distance.

By AirYou can reach Amsterdam RAI from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol by car or public transport in less than 15 minutes. Schiphol Airport is one of Europe’s biggest airports and offers passengers a high standard of service.

By Tram and BusIf you arrive at Amsterdam Central Station (CS), you can take the Amstelveen express tram 51 (travelling time: 12 minutes, exit at the Amsterdam RAI station) or tram 4 (travelling time: 30 minutes, exit at the RAI Europaplein). If you are travelling by train to the Amstel station, you can take the Amstelveen express tram 51 (travelling time: 5 minutes) or the bus (route 15, 69 or 169), which will bring you to the RAI within 10 minutes. In this case you should get off at RAI Europaplein. From Amsterdam Sloterdijk station, the best way to reach the RAI is with express tram 50.

Tickets for trams and buses must be purchased before the journey at stations, kiosks or ticket machines. A so-called “strippenkaart” can be used for several journeys on trams and buses. The required number of strips will be validated by the driver, or in some cases you have to stamp strips in advance of the journey. Without a validated ticket a high fine could be your penalty!

By TrainNS-station Amsterdam RAI is 300 meters from the RAI and has regular connections to all parts of the Netherlands, like Schiphol, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and is also linked to the international trainnetwork.

Train tickets must be purchased before the journey, preferably from ticket machines, which are situated at all stations. Don’t forget to validate your ticket on the train platform, a high fine could be your penalty!

By CarThe RAI is ideally suited for visitors who come by car. It is situated alongside the Amsterdam’s A10 orbital motorway (exit S109) and has its own underground car parks. This means that the RAI is easily accessible for visitors coming from the Netherlands or abroad. All the main motorways can be reached without difficulty from the orbital motorway. Numerous signboards indicate repeatedly to the RAI. During large exhibitions orange signs displaying ‘P RAI’ will direct you to additional parking places. From there a free shuttle bus will bring you to the RAI.

Millimeter-Wave Wireless: Applications, Standards and Technologies

Mehmet Soyuer, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center

Advances in SiGe BiCMOS and CMOS technologies have enabled the implementation of highly-integrated radios operating at mmWave frequencies, such as the 57 to 64 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. The combination of silicon-based radio ICs, small antenna sizes, and wide available bandwidth is driving new applications such as wireless personal area networks and wireless uncompressed video transmission. This talk will highlight the progress made in mmWave IC designs in silicon, and provide a review of evolving standards for 60-GHz wireless communication links.

Dr. Mehmet Soyuer is Department Group Manager, Communication Technologies, IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA.

The Herschel-HIFI Space Instrument: Exploring the Universe with Mm and Microwave Technology

Thijs de Graauw, SRON, Utrecht, The Netherlands

The Herschel Satellite is with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) one of the two very large sub-millimeter and Far Infra Red (FIR) astronomy projects that will come into operation at the end of this decade. Herschel’s observational capabilities will address forefront questions in astronomy including the formation of galaxies after the Big Bang and the creation of planetary systems around other stars. Herschel will be launched early 2009 with an Ariane-5 rocket, together with the Planck satellite, the first European mission that studies the Cosmic Microwave Background.Herschel has three scientific instruments (cameras and spectrometers) and one of them is HIFI, the Heterodyne Instrument for the FarInfrared. It is operating in the frequency range from 480 to 1910 GHz and its design is optimized for high resolution spectroscopy (δλ/λ~10-6 ) of interstellar molecules, such as water vapor, and to make frequency scans over the entire frequency range. It makes use of newly developed RF technology, ranging from cryogenic low-noise amplifiers and superconducting mixers, W-band power amplifiers, planar Schottky diode multipliers, to high frequency digital electronics.

Thijs de Graauw is affiliated with SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research, Leiden University, the Netherlands and the Joint ALMA Observatory, Chile.

Welcome Address

14:00 – 14:45Trends and Standardization of Body Area Networks (BAN) for Medical HealthcareRyuji Kohno, Director of Medical ICT Centre, Yokohama National University (YNU) and Medical ICT Institute, National Institute of ICT (NICT), Japan

If we look at what’s next in information communication technology (ICT), then a ubiquitous medical healthcare system using advanced ICT technologies such as UWB, SDR, MIMO will be the most promising in both academia and industry. This promising new advanced medical ICT can be used to address the serious social problem of population ageing. Medical ICI is engaged as one of the most significant innovations in a new Japanese government primary plan for promoting science and technology. Wireless BAN is a small-scale wireless communication network, which is considered as a potential technology to provide extremely high quality of life (QoL) and to pursue ubiquitous medicine for people in a more direct manner. In particular, UWB is a core technology for BAN in a sense of highly reliable and safe wireless technology for in vivo and in vitro communications in a human body. Moreover, several implemented prototypes of BAN are introduced. Finally, activities of IEEE802.15.6 for standardization of Medical BAN are summarized.

Ryuji Kohno received the PhD degree in electrical engineering from the Univ. of Tokyo in 1984. Currently he is the director of Medical ICT Center in YNU and a guest professor of Medical School in Yokohama City University. Since 2007, he is also a Finnish Distinguished Professor in Univ. of Oulu, Finland.

14:45 – 15:30Propagation Channel Modeling for Ad hoc NetworksHomayoun Hashemi, StarLab, Stanford University, USA

In a wireless ad hoc network a collection of autonomous terminals or nodes communicate with each other forming a multihop decentralized radio network. Propagation conditions between these low-antenna-height stationary or mobile radio transceivers have major differences with transmission between elevated (base) antennas and low-antenna-height mobile units typical in conventional wireless communication systems. In this talk basic principles of propagation modelling for ad hoc networks are presented.

Homayoun Hashemi is a Consulting Professor at the Electrical Engineering Department of Stanford University. He has done research on different aspects of wireless communications, including general system architecture, resource management, propagation modelling, performance analysis, and capacity evaluations for digital cellular, microcellular, and indoor wireless communication systems.

11:10 - 11:40Trends in Mixed Signal RF and Integrated MicrosystemsBarry Perlman, CERDEC, New Jersey, USA

Integrated mixed signal electronics combining analog, digital and radio frequency circuits is being used to realize beyond-leading-edge components and systems on a chip with revolutionary performance and high levels of functionality. This talk will provide an overview of integrated microsystem development and associated material and device technology. Examples will include reconfigurable radio frequency circuit and device technology, heterogeneous integrated circuits, multiresolution spectral sensors, intelligent microsystems and integrated microsystems for digital beamformers. This technology is pushing the limits of conventional scaling, integration, linearity and power dissipation and is changing the paradigm of a variety of systems by making it possible to improve data throughput and connectivity by enabling autonomous reconfigurability, spectral and temporal agility and adaptive behaviour.

Barry Perlman is Associate director for Technology at the Communications Electronics R&DE Center, US Army Research, Development and Engineering Command.

12.00-12.30Challenges for Microwave Research to Enhance Quality of LifeJean-Paul Linnartz, Philips, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

A seamless connection between 1012 sensors and more than 109 people via a common communications infrastructure will give a strong impetus to many applications in Health Care and Life Style. This talk investigates the challenges for wireless communication systems, and also looks into a few non-communication applications that potentially enhance Quality of Life.

Jean-Paul Linnartz is Senior Technology Director at Philips Research, Eindhoven and he also is part-time professor at Eindhoven University of Technology. Previously he was a faculty member at the University of California at Berkeley and Delft University of Technology. His research highlights include the introduction of MultiCarrier CDMA, Doppler compensation in OFDM, security and reliability of digital watermarks, and anonymous biometrics. He holds 25 issued US patents.

14:00 – 16:00For EuMW2008 the central theme will be “Bridging Gaps” to encourage interaction between research and application development. The EuMW2008 event is the first to focus on the needs of engineers and researchers for the creation of innovative applications, products and services by providing an inspiring environment for discussion between research, academia and industry. We hope to enable these communities to share the latest trends and developments that are widening the field of application of microwaves. The tradeshow area will accommodate “bridging gaps” exhibition pavilions where EuMW Science & Technology “meets” applications. To illustrate the central theme of this year’s event a special Bridging Gaps Symposium will be held on Tuesday afternoon, October 28th. This Symposium is free of charge for all delegates, visitors and exhibitors.

16:00 – 16:40High-Performance Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Phased Arrays Using CMOS and SiGe RFICsGabriel M. Rebeiz, University of California, San Diego, USA

The talk shows that one can build high-performance all-RF phased arrays covering distinct frequency bands, from 2 GHz to 100 GHz, using CMOS/SiGe RFICs. Designs include an 8-element 8-16 GHz phased array receiver, a 16 element 30-50 GHz transmit phased array, and a 4-element T/R array at 30-40 GHz. The talk also covers new array architectures (multiple beams, multiple polarizations) which can be achieved.

Gabriel Rebeiz is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. His group has developed one of the most complex mm-wave RFICs to-date, a 16-element phased array transmitter covering 30-50 GHz.

16:40 - 17:20Terahertz Transistors and their Applications to Sub-Millimeter Wave Electronics Bill Deal, Northrop Grumman Corporation

InP HEMT transistors have recently passed the 1-THz fMAX (maximum frequency of oscillation) barrier for the first time and promise to transform electronic capabilities at millimeter wavelengths. This talk will deal with latest transistor results and application of these THz transistors in sub-millimeter wave frequency integrated circuits.

Bill Deal is a senior staff engineer at Northrop Grumman Corporation where he has been involved with developing the world’s first sub-millimeter wave integrated circuits. He has authored and co-authored more than 80 conference and journal papers and 5 book chapters.

16:00 – 16:45Next Generation Networks: Challenges and Hybrid SolutionsSastri L. Kota, Senior Scientist, Harris Corporation (USA), Adjunct Professor, University of Oulu (Finland)

The next generation global communications consisting of mobile, wireless and wired services become pervasive with a widely-spread use of devices. As the demand for “anytime, anywhere and anyway” communications increases, the Next Generation Networks (NGN) will grow faster supporting user affordable and transparent device technologies for triple play services e.g. voice, internet and TV. This presentation will address Next Generation Network architectures and technologies for future systems deployment offering greater bandwidths, mobility, quality of service (QoS) level guarantees and security. To fully realize future systems, many technical, business, standardization and regulatory challenges must be addressed. As a part of this talk, possible solutions like a hybrid satellite-terrestrial wireless network model offering ubiquitous communications, network scalability and spectrum efficiencies will be introduced. A discussion on “net centric” architecture with “all IP” at the core and a variety of access technologies and their standards development status will be provided. The presentation concludes with a few thoughts on social implications of wireless mobile pervasive communications on a fast growing “personalized creative” society.

Sastri Kota is a Senior Scientist in Harris Corporation and Adjunct Professor in University of Oulu, Finland. He has held technical and management positions at Loral, Lockheed Martin, SRI International, the MITRE Corp, and Xerox Corp, contributed to military and commercial satellite communication systems and broadband network research and development. Dr. Kota received his Ph.D from the University of Oulu, Finland; Electrical Engineer’s Degree from Northeastern University, Boston, MA; MSEE from IIT; BSEE from BITS, India.

11:00 – 11:20PAMIR - a Multifunctional Phased Array SAR/GMTI Sensor: Objectives, Design and Realisation

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

At FGAN the experimental X-band radar PAMIR (Phased Array Multifunctional Imaging Radar) has been developed to demonstrate the capabilities of future long range airborne reconnaissance systems. The variety of operational modes as high resolution SAR and GMTI is achieved with a wideband phased array frontend. In this presentation, the objectives and the principle design of this system are described.Joachim Ender is the head of FGAN’s research institute for high frequency physics and radar techniques (FHR). He started the PAMIR programme several years ago.

11:20 – 11:40PAMIR - The Reconfigurable Radar Front-EndHelmut Wilden, FGAN-FHR, Wachtberg, Germany

Two reconfigurable radar frontend configurations for the PAMIR SAR/GMTI imaging radar, an experimental active phased array system with a very high instantaneous bandwidth of 1.82 GHz in X-band are described: a pod mounted antenna structure accommodating a linear time and phase steered array antenna with a length of 4.25 m and a two-dimensional interferometric antenna aperture. Both RF-frontends are based on identical antenna subarrays performing the required beamforming by use of switchable true time delay networks with time increments equivalent to a fraction of a wavelength.Helmut Wilden is since 1977 scientist at FGAN on the area of phased array technology and systems and since 2002 project leader of the PAMIR frontend development.

11:40 – 12:00PAMIR - New Results on SAR and GMTIAndreas R. Brenner, FGAN-FHR, Wachtberg, Germany

By means of various PAMIR radar modes very high resolution SAR, interferometric SAR and ISAR can be demonstrated with a resolution in the order of 10 cm and below. With respect to moving objects current results of along-track interferometry and a multi-channel scan-MTI mode will be presented as well. The talk concludes with an overview of experimental results in context of bistatic imaging.Andreas R. Brenner is head of the department Array-based Radar Imaging of FHR and since 2003 responsible for the realisation of PAMIR and the exploitation of its radar modes.

12:00 – 12:45Advanced Technologies Enabled Via Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) RadarBarry M. Alexia, Director, Business Development Science & Technology, Raytheon Space & Airborne Systems, USA (the author of the paper is Dr. William T. Gardner)

The emergence of AESA based military radar systems has enabled demonstration and fielding of significant advanced technologies. These technologies are providing the basis on which next generation capabilities will become available to the modern warfighter. Great progress has been made over the last several years in the development and fielding of AESA based airborne military radar and now is the time to leverage next generation capabilities enabled via the AESA. Dr. Barry M. Alexia, with more than 25 years of military, engineering, technology development, and BD experience.

LOFAR - A European Large Array System for AstronomyMarco de Vos, technical director ASTRON, Dwingeloo, The Netherlands

LOFAR is a large distributed radio-telescope developed by ASTRON, combining the concepts of phased array technology and aperture synthesis. LOFAR operates at frequencies between 30 and 240 MHz. By applying early digitization, many functions can be shifted in the digital domain, adding flexibility and robustness against man-made interference. Through European extensions the Dutch LOFAR will become an international facility, adding many technical challenges.Marco de Vos did his PhD in astronomy and has been involved in several instrument development projects, including the LOFAR radio-telescope; he is currently director of R&D at ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio-Astronomy.

16:30 - 17:00Modern RadarWillem A. Hol, Thales Nederland B.V., Hengelo, The Netherlands

The crucial role of radar in Defence and Security operations is highlighted. Trends in modern radar/sensor systems are elaborated. Scalable and re-configurable architectures, RF-front-ends and processing enable a fast response to changed missions and capabilities and provide multi-mission radars with superior availability. Finally, the application and integration of modern radar is illustrated with the Integrated Mast provided with multiple sensor arrays and communication antennas.Willem Hol graduated at TU-Delft in 1979 and joined Hollandse Signaalapparaten B.V. (now Thales) where he held different positions in the field of R&D of radar and sensor systems. His current position is Technical Director Surface Radar.

Promoting the European Research Base in RF/Microwave Technology

Scope: Although it is evident that RF/microwave technology constitutes a vital component for a broad range of European companies, the subject itself is almost invisible within European research agendas such as the EU Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). In response to this, the European Radio and Microwave Interest Group (EuRaMIG) has been recently launched as a network of companies, institutes and universities in Europe to gather around common visions and objectives in RF/microwave technology (http://www.chalmers.se/ghz/EN/eu-mw-interest-group).As a result, more powerful and coordinated recommendations for actions can be given, e.g. to the European Commission (EC) or to communities outside our own field. This workshop will describe the current status of the EuRaMIG initiative, including reports on its on-going discussions with the EC and with adjacent strategic research agendas. Members from the EuRaMIG core group representing several system- and component houses as well as academic institutions in Europe will present their initial views and recommendations for the promotion of education, research and innovation across the full range of RF/Microwave technology in Europe. All RF/Microwave engineers from industry and academia, including students, are invited to participate actively in the workshop and to share their opinions and suggestions.

Speakers:Industry representatives and leading edge researchers will present hot topics and important business related issues from the RF- and Microwave area in Europe. The workshop will be concluded with a panel discussion with all the speakers as panellists.

The nature of warfare of armed forces changes continuously. Furthermore it is expected that the pressure on defence budgets will remain high. This demands for improved sensor systems. Long term sensor roadmaps with a scope of about 10 years are imperative. Roadmaps are implemented in close cooperation between government, (national) industry, research laboratories and universities in order to achieve maximum synergy. Also international cooperation is pursued, e.g. through EDA structures.V.C.

MONDAY WORKSHOPS AND SHORT COURSES

8:30 - 17.40 Room H

Organizers

Eduard Bertran, Technical University of Catalonia, SpainGottfried Magerl, Vienna University of Technology, Austria

AbstractThe increasing demand in wireless communication applications has fostered new systems focusing on seamlessly integrating different wireless technologies. However, enlarging bandwidths while keeping the handset costs low is not yet enough. To cope with multiband-multimode operation, linearity is a critical factor. The power amplifier (PA), apart from being the most power consuming circuit, is also the main responsible for nonlinear distortion in terminals. Among analog linearizers, feed-forward may be an appropriate solution regarding bandwidth demands. Nevertheless modern standards use high speed envelope signals presenting not only significant bandwidth and PAPR values but also memory effects. Digital solutions take advantage of the already existing DSP (or FPGA) devices in modern transmitters (to cope with signal coding, protection or modulation), thus maintaining the power consumption and hardware costs. Most relevant digital strategies include polar transmitters, LINC transmitters and digital predistorters, the last one especially sensitive to the PA model. Besides, PA designers may use complementary solutions such as signal clipping strategies (joint operation with linearizers), or to use structures capable to reduce linearization needs by improving efficiency. This workshop presents an overview of the main PA linearization solutions regarding new wireless systems.

Abstract

In recent years, several new microwave device technologies have been developed and are entering the marketplace, including GaN & SiC FETs, LDMOS, SiGe & III-V HBTs, and RF CMOS. There is a significant advance in the output power generated and high frequency limits of these devices with corresponding improvement of reliability. Many topologies and solutions to extract models are reported in the recent years like improved small signal and large signal extraction methods, implementing thermal effects and taking into account the trapping. Despite the hard work on the device improvement of all these components, devices are not perfect and they will not be perfect anytime soon. That is why we need to address many of these problems in order to help device developers and provide reliable models for circuit designers.There have been complimentary developments in nonlinear device characterization and modelling methods during this time, such as the large-signal network analyzer, fast and high power pulse measurement systems at DC and RF, improvement of RF and LFN noise measurement & characterization systems. We have also seen a significant change in Small Signal, RF and Noise, Nonlinear Device Modelling Techniques like Table-Based, Neural, Equivalent Circuit Empirical modelling approach and their mixtures.There is a notable advance in integration of several simulation engines, in "Global Modelling" methods. This is supplemented with advance parameter extraction algorithms including multivariate function-fitting for generating the model functions.In this workshop, we bring together the leading experts in these fields and researchers from different places to present and discuss an up-to-date view of a range of nonlinear RF and microwave transistor characterization and modelling methods, reviewing established practices and presenting new techniques.

WMO-4 (EuWiT)Safety-of-Life Communications

OrganizerUwe-Carsten Fiebig, German Aerospace Research Center (DLR), Germany

AbstractA number of new applications and services are currently developed which aim at (a) improving the efficiency of transportation systems (air, rail, road, maritime), (b) warning people against imminent danger and catastrophes (tsunamis, volcano eruptions, hurricanes) and (c) providing immediate help in post-disaster and emergency situations. Reliability and robustness of these services and their underlying communications infrastructure have a direct impact on the safety of the people involved. Therefore, these services - referred to as Safety-of-Life (SoL) services - and their underlying communications technologies have to cope with demanding requirements. Communication links and infrastructure have to be designed with the goal to handle infrastructure outages, interference, and extreme environmental and critical propagation conditions in order to guarantee highest service availability. The workshop shall provide a forum to present and discuss new developments and innovations in Safety-of-Life communications. In particular air traffic management (ATM) and global alert / disaster management are addressed.

Abstract

The Herschel Satellite and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) are two very large sub-millimeter and Far Infra Red (FIR) astronomy projects that will come into operation in this decade. Both are ambitious projects to advance the state-of-the-art in (sub)-millimeter-wave astronomy by several orders of magnitude along different dimensions: angular resolution, sensitivity, spectral coverage and dynamic range. Their observational capabilities will address forefront questions in astronomy including the formation of galaxies after the Big Bang and the creation of planetary systems around other stars, to mention only two of the problems it will tackle.

Herschel will be launched on an Ariane-5 rocket together with the Planck satellite, the first European mission that studies the Cosmic Microwave Background, with receiver bands from 25 GHz to 1000 GHz and with unrivaled sensitivity and precision (δT/T ~10-6). The Planck mission will become a major source of information relevant to cosmological and astrophysical studies such as testing theories of the early Universe and the origin of the cosmic structure.

Herschel with three scientific instruments, cameras and spectrometers, with an operating frequency range from 500 to 1900 GHz, will be above the atmosphere, and measurements can be made in wavelength regions where astronomical signals cannot reach the earth’s surface. One of Herschel‘s instruments, HIFI, is a heterodyne instrument, and its design is optimized for high resolution spectroscopy (δλ/λ~10-6 ) of interstellar molecules, such as water vapour, and to make frequency scans over the entire frequency range.

ALMA, a truly global project with North American, Japanese and European partners, is to operate 66 antennas with 10 receiver bands in the 30 GHz to 950 GHz range, using HEMTS and SIS mixers. With the transportable antennas the array can be configured to achieve Hubble-type angular resolution at mm-wavelengths with a spectral resolving power as in HIFI.

All three projects make use of newly developed RF technology, ranging from cryogenic low-noise amplifiers and superconducting mixers, W-band power amplifiers, Schottky diode multipliers, to high frequency digital electronics.

Abstract

This workshop will treat reconfigurable and tunable RF systems, with emphasis on applications, system architectures and component technologies. Tunable and reconfigurable systems are growing in importance since the RF spectrum allocation to cellular and other wireless applications show an ever increasing chaotic picture. With the rising interest in low frequency bands up to 1 GHz for communication in large cell sizes the picture promises not to become simpler since this frequency range is already densely populated. The way forward is the development of wireless terminals, cell phones and base stations that are able to use multiple frequency bands, while still meeting requirements on efficiency and spurious signal suppression. Also other applications benefit from reconfigurable and switchable technologies. Such technologies are for example used to increase power amplifier efficiencies for modulated signals with high peak to average power ratios and to compensate for antenna mismatch in cell phones caused by hand-antenna interactions.A wide range of tunable and switchable technologies have been developed over the past years to address the problems mentioned above. This workshop will give examples of a variety of technologies and of the applications in which they are applied.

WWE-9 (EuWiT)How will Software Defined Radio Change the Future of Radio Communication?

OrganizersRob van Heijster, Ronald van Waard TNO Defence, Security and Safety, The Netherlands

AbstractSoftware Defined Radio (SDR) already made a start in the early 1980s. At that time it received little attention, being more a concept than an available technology. However developments in technology especially in real time digital processing and high speed AD conversion provided the vehicle that SDR needed to grow to maturity.The launch itself of SDR was not of technological but of operational origin. The armed forces found themselves in the middle of an ever increasing number of different radio types ranging from several tens for given army applications to a hundred on a large combat ship. These numbers are still increasing and led to a strong wish to stop this tendency. Software Defined Radio was identified as the prime technology to reduce the number of radios.To exploit the full advantages of SDR a vast technological building is needed. Although one could assume high speed digital processing is the basis of SDR, a great number of different technologies is needed to exploit SDR. The need to run “any waveform” on “any platform” requires highly complex system architectures and also requires coverage of a large part of the spectrum. Reconfigurable antenna and front-end technology is of prime importance for SDR. Also software technology and signal processing play a dominant role in SDR. Needless to mention that a good match between “any waveform” on “any platform” is depending on good and effective standards.The workshop will give a comprehensive overview of present day SDR. This overview will not only cover the technology and architectures used, but also put them in their operational context thereby answering the question “what problem is solved by SDR”, “why do we need it” and “how will SDR change the future of radio communication".

WWE-10 (EuWiT)Emerging Technologies for Hybrid Terrestrial Wireless and Mobile Satellite Communications

OrganizerNader Alagha, European Space Agency, The Netherlands

AbstractThe role of broadband satellite communications in the global networks is widely recognized. Emerging satellite communications technologies rely on a complementary role of mobile satellite networks and the terrestrial wireless networks to deliver seamless services to the end users in a global scale.A relevant example is the new generations of satellite multimedia broadcast systems. The goal is to provide multimedia services to the mobile users in a cost-effective manner. In early 2007, a new standard for broadcast services to handheld devices via satellite (DVB-SH) was introduced that has provision for hybrid satellite/terrestrial architecture to achieve a coherent combination of satellite and terrestrial signals.On a different front, the standardization of broadband interactive systems for mobile applications is ongoing as an extension of the existing DVB-RCS Standard. The target application for broadband interactive services to mobile will consist of IP connectivity for the Internet as well as IP Multimedia services via satellite as well as terrestrial gap fillers. Possible scenarios for such system will include aircraft market, maritime market and fast trains.This Workshop will aim to provide to the audience a visibility on recent innovations, challenges and future trends in the research and development of mobile satellite systems.

AbstractWireless and mobile telecommunication applications in the lower microwave frequency range have become commonplace. To be able to offer higher data rates to the demanding market, research is gradually focusing towards millimeter wave frequencies. The advantage of millimeter waves is that they are capable of providing wide (in the absolute sense) bandwidth for very high-speed wireless access. Next, millimeter wave networks are becoming viable due to cost reduction in semiconductor devices. This workshop aims at informing the attendees about the recent developments in this area. The workshop includes overview talks on emerging wideband millimeter wave applications. Recent advances in circuit design using various device technologies will be covered in great detail. As these progresses are intrinsically connected with developments in modelling and measurement techniques, those aspects are addressed as well. Ample time will be foreseen to allow interactions between attendees and speakers.

AbstractFor over a decade the global Radio Astronomy community, has been working towards the realisation of a radio telescope known as 'Square Kilometre Array'. This telescope will not only be very large but it will have a very broad operating frequency range from 100 MHz to over 10 GHz. Clearly a single antenna is not likely to achieve the required bandwidth and so several different types of antennas are expected to cover the required bandwidth. Much progress has been made towards the realisation of such a telescope and presently the radio astronomy community is busy with the design, development and the measurement of several demonstrators, to cover the required broad frequency range. During this workshop, an update of the design of four such demonstrators will be presented, by engineers working on these projects.

AbstractThe scope and tasks of future military, commercial and scientific radar applications are increasingly growing and becoming more and more sophisticated. Today's radars rely on latest microwave technology, micro-electronics and high speed data processing. AESA (Active Electronically Steered Array) antennas provide these systems with an enormous degree of operational flexibility. They pave the way for Active Phased Array Radars with enhanced capabilities, marking a quantum leap in radar technology. The future will also bring into service conformal active phased array antennas, which follow the curvatures of a given platform, thus yield a high degree of installation freedom and potentially an omni-directional field-of-view. The technological basis of Transmit/Receive-Modules will move from Gallium-Arsenide to Gallium-Nitride, promising remarkable improvement in efficiency, output power and miniaturisation. Sub-array AESA architectures and multi-channel receivers enable digital beam forming (DBF) and highly advanced signal processing techniques like Adaptive Beam Forming (ABF) and Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) for significantly improved clutter, interference and jammer suppression. Apart from classical radar operation, also passive and multi-static radar will benefit from Active Phased Array Radar technology. The predominant application areas for this radar technology will be fixed and mobile ground-based, naval, airborne and space-borne systems. The workshop will focus on these four application fields and will give an overview of operational requirements, future systems and technology aspects, as well as more detailed information of selected up-to-date systems in operation for each area.

AbstractToday’s wireless technology revolution is creating a large number of new wireless systems for instant voice and data availability at any place at any time. The requirements for these systems become continuously more stringent: smaller size, weight, higher bandwidth and frequencies and lower power consumption at an ever-decreasing cost. The integration of high quality passives and interconnects has become a major objective in the further evolution of these portable communications systems. On-chip realization of RF building blocks such as filters, high-Q inductors, switches, tuneable functions etc. using standard technologies are being hindered by major technological or economical difficulties.Traditionally, microwave and millimeter wave components and systems have been perceived as low-volume high-end products. Due to the advances in CMOS devices, continuously higher frequencies can be used on-chip, resulting in new integration and packaging requirements for emerging mm-wave applications such as wHDMi, anti-collision radar, … In order to make these systems affordable, solutions are needed to realize the packaging (including ICs, antenna and off-chip passives) at mm-wave frequencies. Hence, the technologies should allow for low cost mass production, and yet give a sufficient performance at mm-wave frequencies.Various candidate technologies are being explored, such as LTCC with embedded passives, advanced PCB and thin-film integrated passives.This workshop aims at discussing various solutions to solve the module integration problem for microwave and mm-wave subsystems including antennas with speakers both from the industry and research community. It will cover commercially available packaging methods as well as emerging technologies.

AbstractThe incorporation of moderate to high power amplifier, > 20mW, designs in current and emerging wireless standards is forcing changes in current design processes. Accurate non-linear electro-thermal models have impeded the domination of simulation based design over labour intensive and time consuming load-pull-data-based design and “build-test-tune” approach to HPA design. However, as designers and modellers continue to work closer together this situation is slowly changing. Far more accurate models are emerging improvements in the convergence and accuracy of harmonic balance simulators are leading to simulation-based design success, even first-pass in some cases. Many challenges remain to the varied and increasingly complex requirements facing HPA designers today. These include, but are not limited to, achieving high efficiency without sacrificing power, balancing the DC power/RF linearity trade-off, predicting and designing for high performance under wideband multi-carrier complex digital modulation with high peak-to-average ratio requirements, and simulation and optimization using models in the time and frequency domain. The purpose of this workshop is to bring microwave amplifier designers and device modellers together to discuss their requirements and experiences in large signal device modelling. We will hear about what works and also what significant challenges remain and where currently available models are falling short in providing the simulation results required to create a successful design.

AbstractThis EuRAD 2008 workshop is dedicated to Radar Evaluation by means of measurements or simulations. As Equipment Evaluation is a government procurement prerogative, four talks will be presented by Government Laboratories or Establishments, such as Danish MoD (Denmark), DGA / CELAR (France), Naval establishment (The Netherlands), DSTL (UK). The workshop will cover the Search, Fire Control and Multifunction Surface Radar applications, mainly in the Naval field, which is more demanding, due to the various sizes of targets and to the millimetre and centimetre wavelengths. The papers will present the very up to date methods used for measurements, for simulations and for the cross-validation between measurements and simulations, as well as the perspectives in this field. Two topics will be specially highlighted: NATO trials with Danish MRS and Radar simulation platform by DGA.

AbstractThere is a growing need for sensor information in a wide variety of applications. For example, military operations require high quality information of moving objects and human activity in urban environments with severe line-of-sight restrictions. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with on-board sensor suites are a popular approach to this operational need but UAVs generally lack the persistence and all-weather capability that is required. Potentially, unattended ground sensors connected by an ad-hoc wireless network offer the performance, persistence, all-weather capability, and robustness that is needed. However, some major improvements in the information architecture, information extraction algorithms, communication bandwidth, and energy consumption must be made to make these ad-hoc sensor networks a viable approach for military operations in urban terrain.Other areas where ad-hoc sensor networks can play a significant role are security, transportation, and environmental monitoring. Security applications include the surveillance of critical infrastructures such as pipelines, airports and harbors where traditional single sensor solutions do not meet the coverage demands. In transportation, wireless sensor networks can measure the density of vehicle traffic on motorways or congested parts of a city. Environmental changes in forests and oceans may be monitored by sensor networks that measure temperature, greenhouse gases, salinity, etc.The workshop is organized as follows. The first talk by Evert Woudenberg addresses the impact of changing operational requirements on the design of radars that are connected in a wireless network. The second talk by Tony Zyweck (replacing Chris Baker who recently changed job from University College London to Australian National University) describes how time and frequency diversity may be used in a sensor network to increase the spatial resolution. The third talk by Maarten Ditzel investigates the trade-off between communication bandwidth and tracking accuracy of a wireless sensor network. Finally, the fourth talk by Mario LaManna shows how a sensor network simulator may be used to perform a statistical analysis of network performance in terms of capacity, data delivery delay and energy consumption.

Tuesday 28th October, 09:30 – 10:50LTE - From Concepts to Simulation to RF Design and TroubleshootingTo ensure the competitiveness of 3G systems into the future, a long-term evolution (LTE) of the 3rd Generation Partnership Project’s (3GPP) UMTS is being defined. This workshop will cover the timeline behind LTE, a context provided to position it against the alternative 3.9G technologies such as HSPA+ and WiMAX™. There will be a brief introduction to the new OFDM air interface and more detail on the new uplink transmission scheme, SC-FDMA. The paper will give an overview of the physical layer frame structure. The paper will then go into a discussion on design flow from concept-to-test for 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE). An algorithm development methodology will be shown for coding key algorithms in the LTE coding/decoding chain. Baseband algorithms are then combined with the RF system design to examine various system level trade-offs, including the effects of baseband bit width, phase noise, and power amplifier non-linearities on key system performance metrics such as Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). Uncoded raw Bit Error Rate (BER) will also be investigated.

Tuesday 28th October, 11:00 – 12:20From Analog to Digital interfaces – the Test Revolution in LTE, WiMAX ™ handset ICsThe Analog to Digital migration of RF-IC to BB-IC I/Q interfaces will be ubiquitous in new applications such as LTE, driven by cost, power and data bandwidth requirements. The new standardized, high speed serial, packet based interconnects will often coexist with legacy analog I/Q interfaces between RF-IC and BB-IC. This coexistence is driving changes in test methodologies and platforms for baseband and RF-IC designs as well as for system integration. Cross-domain measurements between analog, digital and RF domains become a must for debug, characterization and integration. In this workshop, we will review design and test challenges associated with cross-domain technologies and the adoption of high speed serial interconnects for LTE chipsets, and will show demonstrations of physical and protocol measurements.

Tuesday 28th October, 14:00 – 15:20Advanced MIMO Signal Generation and AnalysisModern radio designers have always looked for ways to improve spectral efficiency to transmit more bits per Hz without sacrificing signal quality. This paper covers how antenna technologies have evolved in recent years, including spatial diversity, spatial multiplexing, and beam forming, to improve signal quality and throughput. We will review common wireless propagation channel characteristics before focusing on the added complexity in MIMO channel emulation like calculating

correlation matrices to simulate various channel conditions. Finally, we will discuss how to efficiently generate and analyze multi-channel signals for advanced wireless communication standards such as 3GPP LTE and WiMAX.

Tuesday 28th October, 15:30 – 17:00Adaptive Antenna Tuning for efficient design of handheld wireless appliancesAntenna Designers today, are put under pressure of the Network Operators to improve the performance of the antenna systems under all operating conditions. Some network providers are willing to pay an increased value of $2 per handset for a 2dB improvement of the antenna system. To reach that goal, designers need an EDA toolset that helps them cope with the challenges of high frequency, highly integrated and at the same time highly outsourced design work. Increased outsourcing as we see in the Wireless appliance industry has seriously increased quality risks. Those can be reduced if the various components such as the antenna, the circuit and the human manipulation are simulated and optimized in the same environment. We will show how the ADS RF design front-end platform is used for EM, system and circuit co-simulation to optimize an adaptive tuning mechanism for antennas inside a wireless appliance during human manipulation optimization will be highlighted as well.

Wednesday 29th October, 09:30 – 10:50Advanced Nonlinear Device Characterization Utilizing New Nonlinear Vector Network AnalyzerThis workshop will focus on Agilent’s new Nonlinear Vector Network Analyzer (NVNA) measurement capability. A simple measurement configuration, calibration process and new phase calibration module provide vector corrected nonlinear measurements from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. This new NVNA, based on a standard PNA-X, enables active device designers to accurately measure and model nonlinear device characteristics providing measurements such as calibrated amplitude and cross-frequency phase of frequency spectrum, vector corrected time domain waveforms, X-parameters, and pulse multi-envelope domain for analysis of long term memory effects. The resulting NVNA measurements representing the nonlinear device characteristics can be imported into simulation and analysis tools such as Agilent’s Advanced Design System.

Wednesday 29th October, 11:00 – 12:20X-Parameters: New Paradigm for Interoperable Measurement, Modeling, and Simulation of Nonlinear Microwave and RF ComponentsX-parameters are the mathematically rigorous superset of S-parameters, applicable to nonlinear (and linear) components under both large-signal and small-signal conditions. X-parameters take into account mismatch at fundamental and harmonic frequencies, and correctly predict effects of source harmonics on DUT response. X-parameters enable the hierarchical design of chains of nonlinear components under



large-signal drive, such as multi-stage power amplifiers, multi-chip RF modules, and RF systems including amplifiers and mixers. X-parameters measured by Agilent’s new nonlinear vector network analyzer (NVNA) can be used, immediately, in Agilent ADS, to design nonlinear circuits. The ability to measure, model, and simulate with X-parameters, is a big step towards doing for nonlinear components and systems, what S-parameters do for linear components and systems. This paper introduces X-parameter theory and a few key examples of its applications, including its superiority to “hot S22” in accounting for output match of amplifiers under large-signal drive.

Wednesday 29th October, 14:00 – 17:00Advanced Amplifier and Mixer Measurement Techniques with the Agilent PNA-X Network AnalyzerIn this workshop we will discuss advanced measurement techniques for active devices, including Noise Figure, swept frequency Gain Compression and swept Intermodulation Distortion measurements on amplifiers. We will show calibration and measurement procedures for differential amplifiers under true mode stimulus conditions. We will also discuss techniques for making measurements on Differential and I/Q mixers. Our discussions will include measurement setups, calibrations methodologies and discussions about optimizing measurement accuracy, speed and best practices for taking full advantage of PNA-X’s Single Connection-Multiple Measurements (SCMM) architecture.Based on the popular PNA network analyzer, The Agilent N5242A PNA-X Network Analyzer is a relatively new instrument that was designed from the ground up to be an active device measurement platform. It was designed to not only be ATE system friendly but to actually reduce the complexity of the ATE systems in which it may be deployed. Throughout the workshop, these and other features will be highlighted. Thursday 30th October, 09:30 – 10:50Advances in RF Probing: Inductor and Circuit MeasurementCascade Microtech Inc.Developing high performance RF circuits in any technology can be a daunting task. It is important to start with effective component models for simulations of circuit behavior and effectively measure the circuit behavior of the fabricated design. This workshop will survey recent developments in device and circuit measurement techniques involving RF probes. Inductors can be particularly difficult to measure and often the measured and electromagnetic simulation data disagree. We will look at how an inductor and the measurement system interact and demonstrate a recently published method for de-embedding the measurement system from the device behavior. This method has been implemented in WinCal, Cascade Microtech’s Calibration and Measurement software, using its powerful data post processing capabilities.Additional topics will include advances in calibration methods for two-port and multi-port vector network analyzers and production probing fixturing.

Thursday 30th October, 11:00 – 12:20Signal Generation for Military CommunicationsModern military radios leverage the latest commercial radio systems, but exceed these systems in flexibility, performance and functionality. New and custom waveforms must be created well before standard test equipment offering these waveforms become available. This paper includes a discussion on generating waveforms analogous to commercial voice and data communication services, generating custom waveforms from MATLAB and ADS, methods for generating frequency hopping signals, waveform record and playback, and streaming playback of long and unique waveforms.Other topics include how to create common signals for communication test, including notched signals for Noise Power Ratio (NPR) measurements, multi-tone and multicarrier signals, and the creation of custom waveforms; and how to download and optimize waveforms on a vector signal generator to achieve the highest fidelity signals, including wideband, for test and characterization.

Thursday 30th October, 14:00 – 15:00 Design and analysis of a 2.4GHz polarization diversity printed dipole antenna with integrated balun and polarization switching circuit for WLAN applications using Momentum and EMDS-for-ADSIn this seminar application note we will take you through a complete design process to design and analysis of a 2.4GHz polarization diversity printed dipole antenna with integrated balun and polarization switching circuit for WLAN applications using ADS. Special attention will be given to the effective use of Momentum and EMDS-for ADS for electromagnetic modelling. The use of layout, circuit modelling simulation, EM optimization will be highlighted as well.

Thursday 30th October, 15:15 – 16:15High Yield MMIC Front-To-Back Design with ADS 2008The art of designing MMICs to satisfy speed to market at the lowest cost is attainable with robust design methodology implemented within a productive design environment. This paper shows you how to take advantage of the latest productivity enhancements in ADS 2008 to accomplish this.

TUTORIAL SEMINARS FOR YOUNG ENGINEERS

RF & Microwave Measurement TutorialsAgilent Technologies

For more information, program details and registration: www.agilent.com/find/EUMW2008

Location: Room G

OrganiserPr Michel Begue, (Session Chair), Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Agilent Technologies. Each session will be presented by Agilent Technologies and industry expert in each domain.

Engineers, future EE PhDs working today in education and research are faced with increasingly complex measurement challenges and rapidly changing technology. A strong foundation in basic measurement techniques is essential for success. These workshops will improve your understanding of fundamental RF and Microwave measurements, including real applications, instruments hands-on, thus improving your efficiency and effectiveness whether you are in research or design & verification.

Wednesday 29th October, 09:30 – 10:50The Basics of Waveform CreationWaveforms customized for specific applications are most often created programmatically, within a simulation environment like ADS or a programming environment such as MATLAB, VEE or one of many other tools. The paper will survey these waveform creation methods providing insight into which solution may be best for specific applications. It will review the basics on the signals required to test a variety of products, from amplifiers to highly secure communication systems. These signals may be as simple as a single frequency sinusoid or as complex as a digitally modulated carrier. The paper will also address the basics of signal generators and their applications. We will review block diagrams where appropriate and also discuss signal generator specifications.

Wednesday 29th October, 11:00 – 12:20Wideband Interconnect CharacterizationPresenter: Dr. Ing Uwe Arz Physikalisch - Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB)The course will cover microwave on-wafer measurement methods and their applications to electronic interconnect characterization. The course will begin with a tutorial on microwave frequency-domain and on-wafer measurement fundamentals. We will then discuss the extension of these frequency-domain methods to the characterization of single-moded high-speed interconnects on lossless and lossy substrates, including VLSI interconnects. In the last part of the tutorial we will talk about the experimental characterization of multi-conductor transmission lines carrying two fundamental propagation modes. Fundamental differences between symmetric and asymmetric coupled lines will be highlighted.

Wednesday 29th October, 14:00 – 16:00Modern Spectrum and Signal Analysis Spectrum Analyzers have advanced considerably in recent years. This tutorial will look at why spectrum analysis is important in a number of different applications and how to measure system and device performance using a spectrum analyzer. We will investigate the advances in modern spectrum analyzers and the benefits they bring to enable advanced signal analysis measurements. You will then get to know the specifications that are important

for your application. During the presentation we will look at demonstrations of how these features allow measurements to be optimized.

Thursday 30th October, 09:30 – 10:50Time domain Analysis using a Network Analyzer – Theory and practical examplesTime domain analysis is useful for measuring impedance values along a transmission line and for evaluating a device problem (discontinuity) in time or distance. Time domain display provides a more intuitive and direct look at the device under test (DUT) characteristics and gives more meaningful information concerning the broadband response of a transmission system than other measuring techniques by showing the effect of each discontinuity as a function of time or distance. This document will focus on time domain analysis (displays) generated from vector network analyzers (VNAs). The intent is to provide engineers with frequency domain background, an in-depth view of how a time domain display is created from frequency domain data (S-parameters) and how to apply the time domain display to common problems in RF systems

Thursday 30th October, 11:00 – 12:20Design tips on high performance oscillators – effective use of a signal source analyzer and a network analyzer This tutorial offers several examples of design considerations on high-performance oscillators in RF and microwaves. A good example of collaborative work shows that a network analyzer and a signal source analyzer are efficiently combined to design a low-noise stable oscillator. Particularly focusing on the relation between base-band noise and modulation noise, a new approach to utilize RF CMOS components in oscillator design will be discussed. It is well known that frequency stability and phase noise performance of high frequency oscillators may heavily depend on circuit structure (electrically and mechanically). Besides mechanical instability, oscillator’s circuit topology or configuration difference often results in different stability in frequency or phase even if the same resonator or frequency-tuning component is used. Keeping the PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) of an oscillator higher is also very important because the poor PSRR tends to degrade oscillator’s phase fluctuation and amplitude noise directly when the oscillator is operated with a noisy power supply.

Thursday 30th October, 14:00 – 16:00Understand and Improve Oscilloscope Measurements at High-FrequenciesRefresh and deepen oscilloscope measurement basics. Find out about the importance of active and differential probing in today’s state of the art designs to achieve accurate results. We will continue with the latest trends in mixed analogue and digital design. The Agilent Mixed Signal Oscilloscope will be used to demonstrate how you can uncover details inside those mixed circuits like never before. Finally the aspects of high frequency signal characterization are covered including some practical jitter measurements

Welcome to Defence IQ’s Military Radar 2008!

It’s a well known fact that radar technology offers today’s warfighter a critical advantage. With the ability to guide weapons more accurately, provide early warning of incoming threats and inform deployed forces of enemy positions, surveillance technology provides the mission-critical information that can ensure success and save lives at the front line. More than any other system at the military’s disposal, radar continues to evolve and enhance current and future operations.

However, the speed at which the technology is developing and the huge range of different applications that this makes possible, means that it is increasingly difficult for the defence community to keep abreast of the latest developments and exploit radar systems to their full potential.

Since 2004, Defence IQ has sought to close this gap by bringing together the military end-user community with senior scientists and leading defence industry figures working at the top end of the radar marketplace. This has provided the ideal opportunity to gain insights into key radar programmes currently under development, network with principle decision makers and understand how future radar technologies can deliver real improvements to military capability.

Keen to build on this success, we’re delighted at the opportunity to co-host Military Radar 2008 with the 11th European Microwave Week Conferences and Exhibition. With its central theme of “Bridging Gaps”, Defence IQ believes that co-locating with EuMW2008 and offering Military Radar 2008 delegates access to the European Radar Conference (EuRAD) and the European Microwave Exhibition offers the defence community an unprecedented opportunity to understand the full potential of radar technology.

In addition to Military Radar 2008’s own mix of keynote presentations, interactive discussion sessions, extended workshops and opportunities to network, delegates can attend focused sessions and workshops delivered by leading technical experts and end-users from across a wide variety of applications. This all adds up to ensure that attendees of Military Radar 2008 will gain a unique understanding of advanced radar technology and its full spectrum of applications, which will undoubtedly provide a mission-critical advantage in future military operations.

Military Radar Conference

Workshop Day: 27th October 2008

Registration required

Workshop A: 09:00 – 12:00: Emerging and Developing Radar TechnologiesFacilitator to be confirmed – check out www.militaryradar2008.com for regular agenda updates

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

Workshop facilitated by Professor Peter Hoogeboom, Senior Consultant on Radar Systems, TNO Defence, Security and Safety, IRCTR - Delft University of Technology and Chair EuMC

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) provides military forces with the invaluable possibility of an all-weather, day or night, reconnaissance and surveillance capability. SAR also has the potential to identify specific man-made targets and distinguish between specific terrain features. It is a critical addition to the sensor options of a military organisation and can fill several existing capability gaps.

This workshop will provide you with an in-depth understanding of SAR and its role for enhancing military performance. You will also gain specific details of the principles behind SAR, the advantages of the technology, its moving target capabilities, data processing and utilisation tools and future challenges. The opportunity to discuss this essential technology in an interactive forum with colleagues and peers from the worldwide radar community is not to be missed.

Discussion will feature several key topics including:

1) Principles of Synthetic Aperture Radar: How has this technology developed and how does it work compared to other available systems? Where has this technology already been used and how has it adapted over the years?

2) Capabilities of SAR Technology: Examine how SAR can be used for all-weather missions, foliage penetrating tasks, change detection and moving target indications. How can this mature technology adapt to cope with moving and concealed targets, paramilitary surveillance missions, building penetration and urban operations support?

3) Data Processing: SAR technology requires a great deal of data processing to make the gathered information truly valuable. What are some of the challenges and technology breakthroughs in this area?

4) Future Developments: How are SAR systems going to evolve over the coming years and what new capabilities will emerge? Examining ongoing research in the target detection and recognition field.

Peter Hoogeboom has been working in Radar and Earth Observation for over 25 years at TNO in The Hague. Systems, algorithms and applications were developed by him and TNO’s Radar Group for both civil and military needs. He managed among other projects the development of the PHARUS experimental polarimetric phased array Synthetic Aperture Radar. He is currently senior advisor on Radar at TNO. He is one of the founders of the European SOSTAR Ground Surveillance program and was a member of the technical team for the TCAR radar in the NATO AGS programme. He is a part time professor in Radar Earth Observation at IRCTR- Delft University of Technology.
