New Nonlinear Modeling Techniques for Microwave and Millimeter-wave Circuit Design

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