Workshop on Compact Modeling for RF/Microwave Applications

RF and microwave applications generally impose more serious design constraints than digital applications. It also puts continuously increasing demands on accuracy, smoothness and scaling of the compact models for RF/Microwave devices. Moreover, the RF/Microwave circuit design requires, in an integrated way, advanced compact modeling of active and passive devices including various parasitic effects, like substrate and thermal coupling as well as noise. There is an extensive initiative in academia and industry to address this compact modeling diversity and utilize it into the design of new products.

This workshop will give an excellent opportunity to compact model developers and circuit designers in industry and academia to get a reasonable picture of the state-of-the-art in the field and to participate in open discussion. The particular workshop goal will be to recognize the most important directions for the future development of RF/Microwave compact modeling and to clearly identify areas that need further research
