GigaHertz Symposium 2008,

March 5-6, 2008

Location: Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden
 

The GigaHertz Symposium is the Nordic meeting place for presenting new findings in Gigahertz technologies: Components, circuits and sub-systems for wireless / wireline communication, and sensing. The GigaHertz Symposium is next time arranged in Göteborg, Sweden, March 5-6, 2008.  This will be the 9th GigaHertz Symposium after its start in Linköping 1992.

The idea behind the GigaHertz Symposium is to mix academia, research institutes, and companies to present and discuss recent progress at sessions and informal workshops. At GigaHertz Symposium 2008, we particularly encourage industry to submit abstracts and attend the conference.

The emphasis at the GigaHertz Symposium is on new high-speed devices and circuits and their implementation in wireless communication, sensors and fiberoptic communication systems. We also welcome submissions in emerging nanodevices, wireless and optical communication and antenna integration.

Topics
From 1 GHz to 1 THz and beyond
Submission of abtracts can be made in the following topics:

• High-speed device technology: HEMTs, HBTs, CMOS, Schottky/varactor THz diodes, QCLs, RSFQ

•         RFICs  and MMICs

•         Fast digital and mixed-signal circuits

•         Power amplifier technology for RF/microwave

• Analog circuit techniques for GHz: Low-noise amplifiers, mixers, VCOs, full transceivers

•         Agile microwave systems: Integrating analog layer between antenna and digital

•         Photonic devices for radio communication

•         Fiberoptic communication

•         Microwave photonics: Links, devices, radio communication

•         Packaging of GHz devices & circuits
