ECTC 2004 - June 1-4
Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas, NV
The CPMT RF & Wireless Technical Committee in conjunction with the ECTC Components & RF Program Committee encourages you to submit an abstract to ECTC 2004 in the area of RF & Wireless Technology. In particular, RF papers are solicited for focus sessions on "Component-Like Modules with RF Functionality", as described below. Submissions in other areas of RF technology are also encouraged.
"Component-Like Modules with RF Functionality"
(Organizer: Manos Tentzeris)
Emerging high-performance applications, such as personal communication
networks, WLAN & RF-optical networks have defined a trend
toward more flexible & reconfigurable systems. The RF front-end
module is the foundation of these systems & its integration
poses a great challenge. In the future, wireless communication
will require better performance, lower cost & increasingly
smaller RF front-end size. This session solicits papers in the
area of "component-like modules with RF functionality"
based on ceramic (LTCC), organic or MCM-based technologies. The
components could include:
¨ Embedded passives (inductors, capacitors) & evaluation
of their performance in terms of Quality Factor (Q), component
value, fabrication challenges & cost
¨ Subsystem modules, such as filters, baluns
¨ Antennas that can be integrated in these RF compact modules
¨ Integrated transceiver architectures
It is strongly recommended that the technology used for each submitted
paper should be compared with other technologies & evaluated
in terms of advantages & disadvantages for the specific components
SUBMISSIONS:
Please submit abstracts using the ECTC web site: www.ectc.net
(available in mid-July)
The ECTC 2004 deadline for abstract submissions is October 15,
2003 (approximate)
Abstracts should comply with the guidelines outlined at the above
website.
If you would like to have your paper considered for the focal
session outlined above, please do the following:
STEP #1: Submit abstract through the ECTC web site (www.ectc.net)
and select "primary" subcommittee preference as "Components
& RF"
STEP #2: For "Component-Like Modules with RF Functionality"
email abstract copy to:
Manos Tentzeris (etentze@ece.gatech.edu)
STEP #3: Also, email copy of abstract for both of above sessions
to Craig Gaw at c.a.gaw@ieee.org & Len Schaper at schaper@uark.edu
