MTT-SCV Short Course 2010 presents RF and microwave design challenges for future technologies.
Abstract
In recent years the area of microwave design has expanded into many new application areas, generated new technologies, and adapted many new technologies into its products. This requires the microwave engineer to acquire new knowledge and skill sets to handle the changing face of microwave design.
With these new horizons for microwave technology, the need for the engineer to understand the application and apply the appropriate solution is critical to the success of products in these areas. For example, the evolving divide between high-frequency digital circuits and RF often requires digital and RF engineers to have an understanding of each other’s performance requirements. The requirement for wireless systems to handle multiple frequency bands has driven the need for reconfigurable filters. This in turn has driven the application of MEMS to tunable filter designs. In addition, wider bandwidth systems have driven the push to millimeter waves, while the desire for better medical systems creates the need for microwave technology into a new field of study. This short course will give an overview of some key technologies and designs that will be used for these new applications. A description of the technology and designs will be given as well as the applications that are targeted.
Please join us with our exciting lineup of speakers in exploring these challenging opportunities and learn about the tools and knowledge that is required to meet them.
