European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC) 2011

as part of the European Microwave Week. This microwave integrated circuits conference will continue to help make European Microwave Week the largest event in Europe related to RF microelectronics.

Monolithic Microwave Integrated circuits, MMICs and RFICs, are the foundation of today's communication and sensing systems. While GaAs and silicon based IC technologies are used extensively in today's systems, emerging technologies such as wide band gap (SiC, GaN, etc.), InP/antimonide CNT and Graphene based devices are expected to become commercially available within a few years, with a big impact on system performance.

The downscaling of silicon technologies such as CMOS and SiGe-HBT, according to Moore's law, has now resulted in device performance close to the III-V technologies with cut-off frequencies exceeding 400 GHz. Highly integrated microwave and millimetrewave systems will also be available for many more consumer mass market applications.
