EuMA is the organisation behind the European Microwave Week, our mission is to promote microwaves in Europe and to foster networking between microwave scientists and engineers in Europe. We are pursuing this in various ways but our key event is the European Microwave Week. For those who are not familiar with EuMA: We are open to membership for all working in the field of microwaves, particularly from Europe, but also from around the world. The General Assembly, the highest governing body of the Association, gathers representatives from European countries, from North America, from the Asia-Pacific region, and from North Africa and Middle East. If you are not a EuMA member yet, I encourage you to join. Among other benefits, such as reduced fees for attending the Week and other EuMA-sponsored conferences and workshops, you will have access to our website which provides an archive of publications and the on-line version of the International Journal on Microwave and Wireless Technologies as well as networking opportunities. The European Microwave Week (EuMW) is the premier microwave conference and exhibition event in Europe. Its centrepiece is the European Microwave Conference (EuMC), the largest of the 3 conferences that form the Week. It is complemented by the European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC) focusing on semiconductor device and circuit technologies, and the European Radar Conference (EuRAD), targeting the field of radar, from components to applications. The success of EuMW is also a result of the collaboration with the IEEE MTT Society (technical co-sponsor of the Week) and the GAAS Association (co-sponsor of EuMIC). But the Week is not only conferences, the Exhibition organized by our long-standing partner Horizon House forms an integral part of it. When we booked the conference centre in Paris quite some time ago, it was the CNIT in La Défense, as in 2010 and the years before. Then, in March 2014 only we were informed that the CNIT would be put out of operation and we had to rearrange things at a very tight time schedule. This is the reason why the Week is held early September this year and why we are meeting in the Palais de Congrès, much closer to the heart of the city! 6 www.eumweek.com As you can imagine, preparing and hosting the EuMW is a major effort, from paper submission and review to the on-site organization at the venue, and this is accomplished by a team of volunteers year by year. Therefore, my special and sincere thanks go to Hervé Aubert, 2015 General Chair, to Christian Person, General TPC Chair, and to Fabio Coccetti, Treasurer, to Serge Verdeyme and Jean François Villemazet, EuMC Chair and Vice Chair, to Eric Kerhervé and Didier Floriot, EuMIC Chair and Vice Chair, and to Laurent Ferro-Famil and Jean Marc Goutoule, EuRAD Chair and Vice Chair - just to name a few on behalf of the entire team. They all have been working hard to set up an outstanding technical and scientific programme for you and to make your stay in Paris exciting and enjoyable. Thank you! Paris is always worth a visit, even without a microwave event taking place there. This is true for Europeans as well as for visitors from overseas. The conferences in Paris have always been highlights with major peaks in attendance and I am sure this will come true also in 2015. Finally, as every year, we hope you will not only get exciting ideas and new insights from presentations and posters but also find enough time to meet with colleagues and friends. Join us and see you in Paris! Wolfgang Heinrich President European Microwave Association WELCOME MESSAGES Welcome to the 45th European Microwave Conference, EuMC 2015 It is our great honor to welcome delegates from all over the world to the 45th European Microwave Conference (EuMC) in the city of Paris. This event is Europe’s leading forum for presenting the current status and future trends in the field of microwave, millimeter-wave and terahertz systems and technologies. These high frequency related topics, from materials and technologies to integrated circuits, systems and applications are addressed in all their aspects: theory, simulation, design and measurement. EuMC shares also several sessions both with EuMIC (9 sessions), in the field of Active Devices, Circuits and Subsystems (Microwave Photonic Circuits and Systems, Efficiency Enhancement and Linearization of Power Amplifiers, Low Noise Circuits and Modules conversion and control), and with EuRAD (11 sessions), in the fields of Millimeter wave, THz Technologies and Systems, and Antennas and Propagation (Antenna Systems, Phased Arrays (Active/Passive), Tx/Rx Module Technologies, Ultra Wide Band Technology and Systems). The EuMC opening session will be held on Tuesday at 10:50h, and the closing session on Thursday at 16:10h. These sessions are common to EuMC and EuMW, and are presented in our EuMW General Chairman Welcome Address. They will include three distinguished key note speakers, and the Award ceremonies, with the EuMC Microwave Prize and the EuMC Young Engineer Prizes. The EuMC TPC has received 640 submissions; 56% of these contributions have been selected to build a very high quality and dense conference programme, which consists of workshops, short courses (see the Welcome Address from our Workshop Chair for their presentation) – on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday – and of regular, Special and focused sessions – mainly on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Each of the 46 oral Regular Sessions allow five speakers to present their recent results. They are given up to eight parallel sessions. Five Focused Sessions have been selected from proposals of their Chairs. The related solicited papers have been reviewed by the TPC members as regular ones. This year, the selected domains are on ‘Advances in THz and Opto-Nanoelectronics’ (chaired by L. Pierantoni, common with EuMIC), on ‘Advance in Scanning Probe Microwave and mm-wave Microscopy’ (chaired by M. Farina), on ‘Microwave in Agriculture Environment and Earth Observation (MAGEO)’, (chaired by M. Bozzi), and on ‘Modal Analysis of Electromagnetic Structures’ (chaired by G. Kyriacou). Three Special Sessions and their chairs have been selected based on subjects of specific interest to the microwave community; J. Sombrin has organized one on ‘System modelling and optimization’, M. Tenzeris ‘ on Additive Manufacturing Techniques for RF Modules’, and H. Meinel on ‘Autonomous driving in a worldwilde changing society – Between silver agers and Y-generation’. From an agreement between EuMA and the organizers of the Asian Pacific Microwave Conference, a Special Session is also devoted to enable the exchange of speakers between the two conferences. Poster presentations have been organized on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the exhibition area, giving the opportunity for people to listen to each other, to discuss, enquire and exchange ideas. The exhibition runs in parallel with the conference and offers all of us the chance to acquire up-to-date information from companies active in our areas of interest. We hope you will enjoy the conference! Serge Verdeyme EuMC 2015 Chair Jean-François Villemazet EuMC 2015 Co-Chair Denis Barataud EuMC 2015 TPC Chair www.eumweek.com 7 WELCOME MESSAGES Welcome to the 10th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference, EuMIC 2015 The European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference is jointly organized by GAAS® Association and EuMA since 2006. This premier European technical conference for RF microelectronics has proven to greatly contribute to the European Microwave Week success. The 10th edition of EuMIC will be held on September 7th and 8th 2015 in Paris. The aim of the conference is to promote the discussion of recent developments and trends, and to encourage the exchange of scientific and technical information covering a broad range of high-frequency related topics, from materials and technologies to integrated circuits and applications, that will be addressed in all of their aspects: theory, simulation, design and measurement. Technological innovations are challenging for the modeling and simulation as well as for the characterization techniques both on device and circuit levels. While GaAs and silicon-based IC technologies are extensively used in today’s systems, emerging technologies such as wide band gap (SiC, GaN, etc.), CNT, Graphene and heterogeneous 2D crystal based devices are expected to become commercially available within coming decade, with a huge impact on system performance. To provide short time-to-product, first-pass success in the design becomes therefore critical. Accurate component modeling and efficient CAD/CAE tools are vitally important. Success in these technologies will enable new services in the areas of safety and security, high bitrate wireless access, and multigigabit/s low-cost wireless links. In such a swiftly changing environment, it is essential to be well informed about the latest technological developments. In the modeling area, topics related to device and system, small and large signal characterization, set-ups and modeling approaches up to THz applications are focused with a particular emphasis. In the Eric Kerhervé EuMIC 2015 Chair 8 www.eumweek.com Didier Floriot EuMIC 2015 Co-Chair technology area, papers on nanotechnologies, nanodevices and nanomaterials for microwaves, as well as wide-bandgap devices and technologies, devices for microwave photonics are proposed. Devices, IC reliability and 3D-interconnects in ICs are also covered. Finally, in the circuit design and applications topics, RF and microwave IC’s, millimeter and submillimetre-wave IC’s, photonic IC’s, mixedsignal and high speed digital IC’s, tunable and reconfigurable IC’s as well as integrated receivers, transmitters and transceivers are in the spotlight of the conference programme. The EUMIC Opening plenary session will feature 2 keynote speakers by world leaders in their fields. Andreia Cathelin from STMicroelectronics, Crolles, France, will present the planar UTBB FD-SOI technology for highly energy efficient devices. Thomas Roedle from NXP Semiconductors, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, will focus his talk on GaN Technology, Modelling and Applications. The Closing session will include the traditional Foundry Session gathering several key representatives of RF and microwave semiconductor foundries, and the speeches given by two eminent plenary key-note speakers. The Closing session features an exciting panel discussion on the Impact of Advanced GaN and Silicon Technologies for Military and Space Applications. During the Closing ceremony, the best contributed paper to EuMIC 2015 will be awarded by the EuMIC Technical Program Committee and the EuMW Steering Committee. The EuMIC Young Engineer Award will be presented to a young engineer or researcher who authored an outstanding paper presented at the EuMIC Conference and three GAAS® PhD student fellowships will be celebrated. We look forward to welcoming you personally at the EuMIC, while wishing you an exciting microwave week in Paris in September 2015.

EuMA AWARDS 2015 EuMA Outstanding Career Award Jacques Sombrin got his engineering degrees from the Ecole Polytechnique Paris - France in 1969 and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications Paris-France in 1974. He is a Senior Member of the SEE, a member of EuMA, and an IEEE member (MTT, EDS, IT and COM). He has been with the French National Agency for Space Studies (CNES) Jacques Sombrin since the beginning of his career in 1974. He worked in CNES successively as a design engineer from 1974 to 1983 and as the head of the microwave department from 1983 to 1998. He was responsible for microwave space equipment R&D and support to a number of major space projects in France and Europe including SPOT (Earth observation), STENTOR & TDF (telecommunications), GALILEO (navigation) & POSEIDON (altimetry of sea level). As the head of the Transmission and Location division in CNES from 1998 to 2003 he has been responsible for antennas, signal processing, telemetry, command and ranging, telecommunications, radar, and satellite navigation. From 2003 to 2010 he was the Assistant Director for Radio Frequencies of the CNES and managed the R&D activities in CNES. Since 2010 he has been retired from CNES and keeps up his research as the holder of the “Integrated and Secure Systems” chair at Limoges University and in the TeSA laboratory in Toulouse. He is also active in higher education and teaches some courses in the ENSEEIHT engineering school in Toulouse. Jacques Sombrin has published more than 100 papers and holds 17 patents. Beyond that, he has demonstrated an extraordinary capability to bring new concepts and ideas in various domains such as the modelling and optimization of power amplifiers for space – Carrier to Noise plus Intermodulation ratio (C/(N+I)) as the optimization criterion, the analysis of complex high power physical phenomena such as corona, and multifactor effects leading to RF breakdown of microwave devices, the optimization of global transmission systems for space, including energy consumption, antenna architectures, coding and modulation schemes, multiplexers design, amplifiers optimization and, more recently, passive intermodulation modelling. This technological and scientific eclecticism provided him with an outstanding recognition among the microwave community (both industrial and academic) in France and in Europe.

SPECIAL CONFERENCE EVENTS EuMW 2015 Student Challenge Date: Tuesday 8th - Thursday 10th September 2015 Organisers: Anne-Laure Franc, University of Toulouse, Audrey Martin, University of Limoges. The Student Challenge has become a fine tradition at the European Microwave Week and is offered in 2015 for the eighth time. The Student Challenge is an opportunity for Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral students from all over the world with a variety of academic backgrounds, to work together on a specific topic in the wide and challenging field of microwaves. The aim is to promote innovative thinking, teamwork and pro-active behavior, skills future employers will highly value. For the EuMW 2015 Student Challenge, several teams shall be formed; each team has to be composed of a maximum of four members, preferably from different institutions and with a variety of backgrounds. The aim for all teams is to present, explain, and defend a fresh, visionary, application-oriented concept by a poster. The poster must be based on at least two papers presented at the EuMW 2015, of which only one paper may be authored by a member of the team. Eventually, each team will give a five-minute presentation of the innovative concepts they have devised. A technical jury, composed of prominent members of academia and industry, will evaluate the presentation and the poster of each team according to the following criteria: Originality, content, feasibility, and clarity. The winning team will receive the EuMW 2015 Student Challenge Prize worth €1,500. The sponsoring of this Prize by Thales Nederland B.V. is greatly appreciated.

The main objective of this event is to encourage students to become involved in the dynamic profession of microwave engineering and to apply their knowledge to practical design use. Competitors are required to design, construct, and measure hardware solutions for predetermined design requirements. They will be given the opportunity to challenge themselves and other participating students for the best solution. This year, a single theme is proposed in which cross-knowledge is necessary to perform the required design specifications. The idea is to study and build a single band radio transmitter at the ISM Band of 5.8 GHz for the sake of remote empowering of passive receivers. For this study, it is necessary to design a power amplifier, a band pass filter and a high gain antenna. The realization of the transmitter will be done by hand during the competition using copper tape and given RF components. The competition will take place during the conference week, in a special event on Tuesday 8th September 2015. Required test equipment for the evaluation measurements will be provided by Keysight Technologies to the participants. The winner, as judged by the technical committee (based on the figure of merit published on the website of the conference), will be recognized during the EuMW/EuMC Closing Session and will receive the EuMW 2015 Student Design Prize with a value of €1500 sponsored by Cobham. In addition, the winners will be given the opportunity to submit an article to the EuMA International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies in order to share their design techniques and experience with the microwave community. All doctoral, master students registered in any one of the EuMW 2015 conferences are welcome to participate. The students must attend the conference to present their design for evaluation.

To sustain this market demand, the semiconductor industry requires a real breakthrough in energy efficiency both for the connected devices and for the communication infrastructure. Innovative solutions for very energy efficient systems are mandatory to continue the growth the semiconductor industry has enjoyed, covering ultra-low power systems, energy management and harvesting. This talk will present the development of the 28nm UTBB FD-SOI (Ultra-Thin Body and Buried-oxide Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator) technology and its main characteristics, especially suited for highly energy efficient operation (even in ultralow voltage conditions), not limited to digital logic but also on memory bit-cells and exceptional analog/RF characteristics. Several application domains will be illustrated demonstrating how the technology can enable new and innovative applications in the field of IoT, wearable, mobile and server. GaN-HEMT technology has been commercially available for several years and is said to be a disruptive technology for RF Power applications. Nevertheless, this technology had difficulties to establish a solid foothold against Si-LDMOS in high power and high frequency applications (frequencies between 100 MHz and 4 GHz , saturated output powers between 1 W and 1 kW). The intrinsic performance advantages of GaN-based transistors due to the semiconductor material properties are undisputed. These allow to expand the useful frequency range and enable the application of more advanced power amplifier (PA) architectures to push the efficiency. In order to become a successful PA technology however, more is needed. A few elements which will be discussed in this talk are reliability, manufacturability, cost and application support. NXP Semiconductors has worked consistently since more than 10 years on GaN-HEMT technology for RF Power. This together with our strong position as supplier of Si-LDMOS based solutions to the RF Power market will allow us to give an un-biased view of where GaN stands in this journey towards a mature, cost-efficient technology which makes a real difference for our customers. www.eumweek.com 31 MONDAY EuMIC Poster01 Session Chair: Éric Tournier, University of Toulouse Co-Chair: Éric Kerherve, IMS, University of Bordeaux 12:30h - 14:10h The posters are on display from 12:30h - 14:10h The authors are present for discussion from 12:30h - 14:10h Hall Maillot - Level 2 Hall Maillot - Level 2 EuMIC Poster01-01 Multi-Objective Design of Compact RF/Microwave Components Using Decomposition and Surrogate Modeling EuMIC Poster01-05 Thermal Performance Assessment of AlGaN/GaN Structures By Microsensor Integration EuMIC Poster01-09 X-Band High Dynamic Range Flat Gain SiGe BiCMOS Low Noise Amplifier O.

In the last twenty years or so, whilst the general principles have remained remarkably stable, major improvements have occurred, both at architecture and technology levels, at the same time modeling tools & methods now allow real time accurate simulations. In the area of Telecommunications from the geostationary orbit, the general trend towards larger more powerful satellites has given birth to very complex “multi – large reflectors” antenna farms mixing all frequencies from L to Ka bands. Besides, the ever increasing need for flexibility, not any more restricted to mobile and military missions, is pushing towards Direct Radiating Arrays or Semi-Active antennas, with on-board digital beam-forming having become standard. For Remote Sensing, imaging Synthetic Aperture Radars now routinely use active transmitreceive modules, and advances in technology have allowed passive radiometry to explore new frontiers: from the maximum 200 GHz frequency on AMSU-B up to the 600 GHz+ of the new generation microwave sounders under development by the European Space Agency, and with a much improved frequency resolution. And, from here, let us dream about what the future has in store for us: digitally controlled antennas with large reflectors “re-shapeable” in orbit, smart skins, multi-satellite interferometers assembled in Space for radio-astronomy. 38 www.eumweek.com Radar altimetry provides vital data for the observation of Earth Climate Change and operational oceanography. Since the beginning of the experimental radar altimetry missions, radar altimetry has evolved to operational applications. Altimeter data are used routinely in operational ocean forecasting models providing crucial information for driving the ocean circulation and currents. Those data are also used to extract the sea level rise and large scale phenomena such as El Nino events. Thales Alenia Space has been involved in radar altimeters since the 1980’s with the experimental Poseidon-1 Ku Band radar which paved the way to the current TAS altimeter product line all based on SSPA technology. In the 90’s two major evolutions were made to the product line with the design of SAR interferometric radar altimeters in Ku band and a compact Ka band radar altimeter with a built-in radiometer. These altimeters were the first of their kind in space and they are still delivering unprecedented quality data. Lately the product line evolved again with a new design for an ocean radar altimeter combining the conventional and the SAR mode operation at these same time. TAS is also involved in swath altimetry for the design and manufacturing of the Radio-Frequency Unit of the swath altimeter KarIn for the SWOT mission. The presentation will give an overview of the radar designs and the key technological challenges with the link with the science applications and performances.

This overview will come with a state of art example of results and equipments, with a focus on the possible association between technology and potential operational benefits and a discussion on challenges to take up in the coming decades. WEDNESDAY During the last ten years, the radar community has been facing new requirements in civilian and military radar surveillance, requiring innovative radar techniques and architectures to improve the quality of detection, terrain imaging, target tracking, personal inspection, as well as the classification and identification of objects. Beside pure technological development requiring heavy investments and a long term planning, a new way of radar thinking has emerged from recent research and studies carried by the worldwide community, on the borders of different areas: communications for new waveform design, new SAR modes, innovative MIMO strategies, cognitive techniques for optimal radar scheduling, information theory and image processing for classification purpose, etc. Fabio Rocca, Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy A swarm of N SAR sensors in a geostationary orbit might provide all-day-all-weather imaging within a continental region, using direct downloading for real time data exploitation. The coherent combinations of the echoes would improve the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of N², leading to metric resolution, 20-40 minutes minimum observation time, multi-polarimetric and interferometric imaging. Fast evolving events like landslides, floods, soil moisture changes, volcanic activity, co-seismic motions, infrastructure deformations and columnar water-vapor maps would be monitored continuously from space for the first time. The observed area would have a footprint up to a thousand kilometers wide, set using electronic steering, anytime, and anywhere within the continent. The flexibility of the swarm, of the SAR configurations, and of the observation parameters could be used to customize the system for each application. Risks, associated with clutter, troposphere and ionosphere propagation as well as the system capabilities are evaluated. www.eumweek.com 49 WEDNESDAY 241 242B EuMC25 Microwave Applications of Metamaterials EuMC26 Passive Power Dividers 2 EuMC27 Microwave Systems EuMC25-01 Demonstration of Circularly-Polarized LeakyWave Antenna Based on Pseudo-Traveling Wave Resonance EuMC26-01 A Novel Gysel Power Divider Based on Substrate-IntegratedWaveguide (SIW) Technology EuMC27-01 Exploitation of Capacitive Coupling at UHF for Remote Sensing in a kW WPT System K.

Clément Dudal, French Space Agency, France Céline Loisel, French Space Agency, France After 10 years of cruise, the ESA/CNES/DLR Rosetta mission reached successfully the 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko comet. One of its main assignments was to carry out in-situ analysis using Philae, a small lander of about 100 kg equipped with scientific instruments. To communicate, Philae uses a radiofrequency relay link with Rosetta in S-band transmitted through small patch antennas. After separation, it was the only means of communication providing valued information on the lander behavior especially relevant during the rebound landing. After 3 days of successful on-comet scientific activities, Philae had to turn off because of energy shortage. After a broad presentation of the mission, this presentation will focus on the RF subsystem and the role it played in the success of the mission. 16:50h - 17:20h Awards Ceremony Chair: Christian Person, EuMW 2015 Awards Chair EuMC Microwave Prize EuMC Young Engineer Prizes Student Challenge Prize Student Design Competition Prize 16:10h - 17:50h 17:20h - 17:40h Closing of European Microwave Conference 2015 Denis Barataud, EuMC 2015 TPC Chair Closing of European Microwave Week 2015 Hervé Aubert, EuMW 2015 Chair Closing Address Wolfgang Heinrich, EuMA President Invitation to the European Microwave Week 2016 Andrew Gibson, EuMW 2016 General Chair 66 www.eumweek.com THURSDAY 242B EuRAD11 High Resolution and Compressive Sensing Radar Techniques Chair: Pierfrancesco Lombardo, University of Rome La Sapienza Co-Chair: Le Chevalier Francois, Delft University of Technology T.

In addition, the deployment of radars on small platforms requires systems with a small size, weight, power consumption and cost (SWaP-C). Emerging radar signal processing techniques that address these challenges include compressive sensing and cognitive methods such as deep learning. Developments in quantum computing have the potential to enable the application of these emerging signal processing techniques in radar systems. 14:30h - 14:50h EuRAD Awards Ceremony Chair: Christian Person, EuMW 2015 Awards Chair EuRAD Best Paper Award EuRAD Young Engineer Prize Laurent Ferro-Famil, EuRAD 2015 Chair Invitation to EuRAD 2016 David Daniels, EuRAD2016 Chair 12:30h - 15:00h 14:50h – 15:00h Closing of EuRAD 2015 FRIDAY www.eumweek.com 71 WELCOME MESSAGE Welcome from the Workshop and Short Courses Chairs The EuMW 2015 organising committee has provided you with a large and diverse workshops and short courses programme spanning from well-established microwave theory and technologies to emerging materials, technologies and systems that are currently attracting the interest of the community. Among a very large number of high quality proposals, we were able to select 21 workshops and 8 short courses. The topics covered comprise theoretical and applicative aspects of circuits and systems for RF and microwave applications. Specific themes are really wide: mm-waves and THz (sensors, highdata-rate communications, tunable circuits, automotive, silicon technologies, integration techniques for SoP, 5G), technologies and design techniques for power devices, filters (reconfigurability, synthesis methods, space applications), nanoscale devices characterization, PCB technology, SDR circuits and systems design, far-field wireless power transmission, nonlinear circuits design, advanced circuits design using symmetry-related electromagnetic properties, bio-electromagnetism, PMSE, high Philippe Ferrari WS and SC Chair 72 www.eumweek.com Luc Lapierre WS and SC Co-Chair RF power critical effects, RADARs (maritime RADARs, MIMO RADARs, RADAR electromagnetic scattering modelling, geometric RADAR processing), and beamforming networks. Even though workshops and short courses are endorsed in specific conferences, they should be attended by any scientist planning to broaden its perspectives in the RF and microwave field and looking for an interactive discussion with colleagues all over the world. Indeed the programme is able to attract attendees from several technical backgrounds, from the system level down to new materials and components level. It is noteworthy that we could not put together such a broad workshops and short courses programme without the valuable and dedicated efforts of the organisers and of the authors of the presentations. We hope that you will enjoy technical depth and breadth of the programme and that you will be engaged in fruitful discussion, thus taking great advantage from the interactive nature of the workshops and short courses programme in Paris. WORKSHOPS AND SHORT COURSES - SUNDAY Duration: 09:00h to 18:10h Room 202+203 WS01 Sensors Towards Terahertz: Novel Technologies for Potential "THz Killer Applications" in Life Sciences and Spectroscopy Organisers: Andreas Penirschke, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Sascha Preu, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany Abstract The vision of this workshop is to present the interdisciplinary research field of Terahertz (THz) sensor system technologies. Offering higher spatial resolution compared to microwaves, transparency of many materials, as well as sharp spectral features of many biologically, medically, and environmentally relevant substances, sensing can be the “killer” application for THz science. High specificity due to narrow spectroscopic “fingerprints”, and harmlessness due to the nonionizing nature of THz radiation make it particularly interesting for biomedical applications. Still, there are only few commercial, medical or industrial applications where THz radiation is extensively used, for several reasons: first, the language barrier between engineering and medicine or biology; second, the lower system performance as compared to the microwave and visible (power, speed, and dynamic range); and last but not least the price tag of commercial THz systems. The large potential of THz radiation due to the aforementioned properties requires new concepts to overcome current limitations. Latest approaches and realizations of potentially industrially relevant solutions will be presented in this workshop. The workshop focuses on two scientific objectives: 1) Key technologies for sensor systems will be addressed, targeting affordable, room-temperature operating THz systems with fast data acquisition. This includes latest developments in terms of high power, semiconductor-based Terahertz sources, low noise detectors, and lasers with fast tuning for high speed photomixing systems. 2) High performance THz systems and novel sensor principles for highest sensitivity and specificity will be discussed. The latter includes functional layers based on graphene and carbon nanotubes or resonant enhancement. Systems will be elaborated at various examples of pioneering experiments, like metabolite detection, plant science, tissue investigation and non-destructive testing. Prospects, hurdles, and preliminary results for a Terahertz lab-on-chip are discussed.

In the coming decades there will be a paradigm shift towards smart, cognitive and agile wireless sensing (including imaging) and communication systems. The use of mm-wave frequencies will lead to communications systems showing very high data-rate capabilities along with sensing and imaging systems with high spatial resolution. These include frequency-agile/software-defined and cognitive radios to cope with extendable and reconfigurable multi-service/ standard and multi-band operation as well as with efficient spectrum and power utilization. These concepts will reduce significantly the number of components, hardware complexity, cost and human radiation exposure compared to today’s radio technology, which relies on incompatible communications systems with inflexible hardware. Space-agile antenna configurations for flexible and efficient beam-scanning, beam-focusing, and beam-forming allow for precisely focusing the microwave energy into well-defined areas. This workshop will focus on tunable circuits using promising technologies for mm-wave applications such as liquid crystal, MEMS, BST and CMOS.

Samanta, Milmega/AMETEK Ltd., UK Bumman Kim, Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH), Korea 09:00h - 09:10h Welcome 09:10h - 09:40h Advanced GaN based power amplifier architectures with improved energy efficiency and bandwidth performance Christian Fager, Microwave Electronics Laboratory, Microtechnology and Nanoscience, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden Abstract Advanced RF/microwave applications demand power amplifiers with ever greater linear power in conjunction with high efficiency and bandwidth at a low cost. As a result, power amplifiers are considered as the most critical and expensive component in a RF-front module, and the new power systems, like RADARs, transmitters, EMC tester, jammers, etc., require the latest state-of-theart semiconductor and integration technologies to deliver optimum performance within a compact size and light weight. The attractive material properties of GaN make GaN-HEMT a superior candidate to meet these demanding requirements, and since its introduction GaN PAs have been creating many records. However, their potential still needs to be better understood and utilized. In a GaN transistor, owing to generation of ultra-high heat flux at the micro-scale gate fingers, PAs are thermally limited much below the electrical capability of the devices. As a result, efficient and novel design technique, thermal management, biasing technique, mode/class of operation etc. play very crucial roles towards gratifying the new generation PA requirements. In addition, withstanding high output mismatch and achieving linearization and modulation requirements with an extreme bandwidth (like in EMC/EW); meeting the power, bandwidth as well as efficiency in Doherty; and the effect of trapping/memory on a device performance raise several technical challenges to address. This very timely workshop will attribute a wide range of presentations, highlighting the recent important advancements in GaN PA circuits design and linearization to system implementation. Most importantly, the workshop will make participants aware of the critical issues with design hints, technology challenges and the latest state-of-the-art developments in terms of bandwidth, output power, linearity and efficiency, which enabling advanced industrial applications from mono-and multiband wireless communication to ultra-wideband EMC and RADARs.

In this context, solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) based on GaN technology is considered a promising optimum solution to replace the actual travelling wave tube amplifiers (TWTA) which need extremely high voltage (thousands of volts) and whose reliability is critical due to hot electrons in vacuum tube. Currently, power GaN technology is beginning to be used in the terrestrial commercial application for telecommunications high power and high efficiency technology a key factor for base stations. The advantage of GaN is the wider frequency bandwidth, the better thermal budget (suitable for CW mode application), the integration (compact module for radar) and the higher cut-off frequency. The exploitation of GaN technology for space applications is the basis for addressing the space market and developing future business opportunities.

Mm-wave IC radar and active sensing technologies have been commercially on the move since the early nineties to provide cost and energy efficient high-performance radars for an increasing number of cars and thus human beings saved from crashes. Ever since specialized GaAs ICs have been declared technologically dead a million times, however, are still being and continue to be deployed for the different systems in greater numbers for some time. Efficient SiGe bipolar technologies are being now available and integrated in this innovative, however, in some ways also conservative market. In addition silicon CMOS in the latest generations is now also discussed to provide advantages based on the reduction in power as radar manufacturers will need more beams with finer resolution which translates into more chip area. Further the co-integration of the digital functions holds great promise for the overall radar functionality on system level. Further III-V devices still hold their beauties for even more advanced systems. The workshop will discuss the actual balance in this race at this point in time. Five speakers, at least one from each part of the community, will provide their visions. A panel organised at the end will discuss issues collected during the talks. 76 www.eumweek.com Open discussion and concluding remarks 09:10h - 09:55h Welcome Advanced SiGe circuits for mm-Wave radar applications Nils Pohl, Fraunhofer FHR, Germany 09:55h - 10:40h SiGe BiCMOS devices for active safety systems Franz Dielacher, Infineon Technologies, Austria 10:40h - 11:20h Coffee Break 11:20h - 11:50h Millimeter-wave CMOS automotive radar-on-chip: tomorrow or the day after?

New electrical measurement methodologies and analyses are required to characterize the behavior of these new emerging materials and devices. Indeed, HF Instruments and methodologies are confronted with major limitations in terms of accuracy with respect to nanodevices. The main causes are related to the dimensional and electrical mismatches comparing to the current equipment. The impedances of nanodevices reach several KΩ which is too far, compared to the 50 ohms normalized impedance. Moreover, test structures generate important parasites as compared to the intrinsic values. In this context, the workshop will present different characterization methods with or without contacts developed to characterize the nanodevices. All the brand new techniques for microwave characterization combining GSG micro-probes, non-contact probing, and SMM will be presented. 14:20h - 14:30h Welcome 14:30h - 15:00h Scanning probe microscopy for nanotechnology: from microwaves to infrared imaging Marco Farina, Università Politecnica delle Marche, Ancona, Italy 15:00h - 15:30h Quantitative evaluation of nanometer-scale electrical properties by microwave AFM Yang Ju, Nagoya University, Japan 15:30h - 16:00h Design, fabrication and characterization of micro machined microwave probes for on-wafer testing of microelectronics Gilles Dambrine, IEMN University of Lille, France 16:00h - 16:30h Coffee Break 16:30h - 17:00h Recent advances in scanning microwave microscopy: complex impedance, bio- and subsurface imaging Ferry Kienberger, Keysight Technologies Austria, Austria 17:00h - 17:30h Time and frequency domain characterization of buried micro- and nano-inclusions by means of transmission microwave microscopy Romolo Marcelli, CNR-IMM Roma, Italy 17:30h - 18:00h Mid-infrared/THz near-field nanoscopy of organic and inorganic samples Jean Francois Lampin, IEMN University of Lille, France 18:00h - 18:10h Discussion Duration: 09:00h to 13:00h Room 234M + 235M WS09 Microwave Measurements and Electromagnetic Simulations of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) for High Speed Digital and Radio Frequency (RF) Applications Organisers: Martin Salter, National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK Ralf Doerner, Ferdinand-Braun-Institut, Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik, Berlin, Germany Abstract With ever increasing data rates, modern high speed digital signals contain significant frequency content in the microwave region of the spectrum. As a result, microwave techniques are required in the design of high speed digital systems to minimise cross-talk and to maintain signal integrity. Linked to the high-speed data transmission, the requirements on radio frequency (RF) front ends are also steadily increasing. Microwave measurements (using Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) as well as oscilloscopes) and three dimensional (3D) electromagnetic simulation both have a role to play in the development of such high speed digital and RF systems.

Pedro, Instituto de Telecomunicações – Universidade de Aveiro, Portugal David E. Root, Keysight Technologies, Inc., USA Abstract Because most electrical engineering programs and industrial design procedures are still focused on linear analysis and design tools, the vast majority of microwave designers are not prepared to profit from the technological advancements that have been made on nonlinear microwave simulation, active device modeling and specific laboratory instrumentation for device characterization, model extraction and performance verification. So, they tend to conduct their designs relying on experience, heuristic concepts, and many trial and error iterations in the lab. The Short Course on The Basics of Computer Aided Nonlinear Microwave Circuit Design was exactly conceived to bridge this gap. It starts by providing a summary of the properties of nonlinear systems to then evolve to review the various CAD tools – nonlinear device models and circuit simulators – available to assist the microwave circuit designer. Then, to facilitate the comprehension of these concepts, the course presents a practical perspective of the application of these tools presenting and discussing with the attendees all the steps comprising the design of a power amplifier from the active device model extraction, to the selection of bias and terminations, up to the performance verification. Therefore, the learning objectives and outcomes of this short course are to provide the attendees with the basics of nonlinear microwave circuit design, usually lacking in their college (and even some times graduate school) education, which will enable them to profit from the recent developments we have seen in nonlinear circuit simulation algorithms, active device model formulation and dedicated laboratory instrumentation for nonlinear model extraction and design verification.

Differential manifolds could be naturally introduced in Radar Signal Processing by considering Information Geometry theory based on seminal paper of Rao, where the Fisher Matrix defines a metric in parameters space of density of probabilities. This Fisher differential metric defines a natural “information” manifold for raw radar data. These geometric tools lead to greater insight and better Radar signal algorithms performances due to their “intrinsic” properties to solve complex problems, where classically Linear Algebra uses adhoc projections approaches. The tutorial will introduce these new geometries in the framework of Radar Signal Processing. These new innovative Radar Processing methods will be illustrated for different applications like joint highDoppler-resolution and ordered statistic CFAR, ordered statistic STAP (Robust STAP), Riemannian Anti-Jamming processing, Riemannian Polarimetric data segmentation, Multi-Parameter SAR processing, Non-linear tracking and Nonstationary signals processing.

Rigorous method: Method of Moments for a 2D problem (Maxwell’s equations, boundary integral equations, discretization from the Method of Moments, some examples) II. Numerical examples: Circular and elliptical cylinders in free space, plate in free space, one-dimensional random rough surfaces III. Focus on Radar microwave scattering from sea surfaces and GPR for 2D problems Abstract Electromagnetic wave scattering from random rough surfaces is an active, interdisciplinary area of research with countless practical applications in fields such as optics, acoustics, geoscience and remote sensing. In the last four decades, considerable theoretical progress has been made in elucidating and understanding the scattering processes involved in such problems. Numerical simulations allow us to solve the Maxwell equations exactly without the limitations of asymptotic approaches, whose regimes of validity are often difficult to assess. The objective of this course is to present both asymptotic approaches, such as the Kirchhoff approximation, and numerical methods, such as the Method of Moments (MoM), in order to solve the scattering from rough surfaces. In part I, the MoM is presented to solve the boundary integral equations. The formulation is extended to the case of a rough layer (2 rough interfaces separating homogeneous media). This part also presents the necessary statistical parameters to generate a one-dimensional random rough surface such as a sea surface. In part II, the MoM, presented in part I, is tested on a cylinder of infinite length along one direction. In addition, the MoM is compared with the physical optics (PO) approximation for the scattering from an elliptical cylinder, a plate and a onedimensional rough surface. In part III, the numerical tools presented in parts I and II are applied for 2D problems to the Radar scattering from sea surfaces and in the GPR context. In part IV, several asymptotic models for calculating the field scattered by random rough surfaces are presented, and a focus is made on the Kirchhoff-tangent plane (or PO) approximation. Then, the coherent and mainly incoherent contributions to the NRCS (normalized radar cross section) are calculated, for both two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) problems. In part V, applications for both 2D and 3D problems to sea surfaces and to GPR problems are presented. 10:10h - 10:40h Coffee Break 10:40h - 12:05h Radar electromagnetic scattering modelling from random rough surfaces (Parts IV, and V) Nicolas Pinel, Alyotech, France IV.

GPU computing applied to radar signal generation has shown that it is possible to simulate, in quite real time, a dynamic sea with ships in motion. Concerning target simulation, the use of a dynamic sea surface is a way to simulate realistic motions and sea-structure coupling phenomena. The drawbacks of uncertainties associated to real acquisitions can, for a part, be overcome by the perfect knowledge on the “ground truth”. These advanced simulation approaches permit to develop and validate: - Processing techniques such as motion compensation or focusing algorithms for moving targets based on ideal situations and then study and improve robustness while adding more and more realistic phenomena encountered in operational conditions. - Explore new fields like target classification based on CAD models. Concerning maritime radar clutter, the use of a physical model for the sea is an outstanding disruptive concept, as it permits to overcome some drawbacks of statistical models that cannot handle in a satisfactory way the spatial complexity of real situations. It also closely relates complex EM phenomena, such as breaking wave phenomena and spikes to surface conditions. This workshop aims, considering these examples, to open discussions about state of art in maritime scene simulation and the possible uses by radar experts.

Abstract Multi-Beam Antennas (MBAs) find application in several fields including wireless and satellite communications, RADARs for electronic surveillance and remote sensing, science (e.g. radio telescopes), RF navigation systems, etc. Beam-Forming Networks (BFNs) play an essential role in any antenna system relaying on a set of radiating elements to generate a beam. Depending mainly on the antenna mission (i.e. operational frequency, pattern requirements, transmitting and/or receiving functionality, number of beams to be generated, etc.) different MBA architectures may be selected: from antenna systems completely based on independent feeds illuminating a number of reflectors, to hybrid systems based on both arrays and reflectors, from phased arrays to lens antennas. The trade-off on the antenna solution largely involves the BFN interconnectivity and flexibility requirements, with a wide range of applicable BFN architectures with different complexity and performance. The objective of the course is to present design principles and state-of-the-art in MBAs and BFNs.

Examples of codes: sub-carriers, OFDM codes, PN (pseudonoise), Hadamard codes Abstract MIMO (multiple-input and multiple-output) radar refers to the use of multiple transmitters and receivers, for sensing the environment and the targets present in this environment. Basically MIMO radar uses multiple antennas that transmit correlated or uncorrelated waveforms. For the last ten years MIMO has led to extensive research and publications, both in communications and Radar domains. Why such interest for MIMO in radar? Beside the prolific amount of publications, how to assess the interest of MIMO to overcome the current limitations of conventional radar? The short course attempts to answer these questions, as well as to provide the tools to understand the link between theoretical considerations and radar system design. After a summary of the state of art – we may notice that MIMO was invented more than 25 years ago – the course will provide the fundamentals of MIMO radar, how to define a MIMO radar configuration, introduce the signal model, waveform design, signal processing, detection and localization. A particular emphasis will be put on the coherent MIMO in conjunction with the unique properties of the MIMO steering vector.

Automatic detection and analysis of hopping sequences is helpful for validating radar systems. However, modern systems cover a wide frequency range. Equipment with an analysis bandwidth of up to 2 GHz is needed. The same is true for FM chirp signals, which are used in automotive radar sensors that make use of the 24, 77 and 79 GHz bands. The following topics are covered: • Radar waveforms • Wideband signal analysis • Automatic detection of hopping parameters • Automatic detection of chirp parameter • One-box solution for spectrum analysis up to 85 GHz Tuesday 8th September 2015 16:15h – 16:45h LAN Enabled Power Measurements New power sensors, that offer, in addition to USB, the capability to control the sensors via LAN, allow remote monitoring of a system over large distances using a power over Ethernet (PoE) switch.

The WLAN 802.11ad standard for very high throughput (6.75 Gbps), short-range transmissions of a few meters is available in the 57 GHz to 66 GHz frequency range. 5G is a name used in some research papers and projects to denote the next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards beyond the upcoming 4G standards, where similar frequency and bandwidth ranges are discussed. Generation of signals for such high frequencies can be addressed using a vector signal generator together with an additional upconverter unit. Spectrum measurements such as the spectrum emission mask measurement and adjacent channel leakage ratio are challenging in these frequency bands. An analyzer is needed where the spectrum is unambiguous, without unwanted mixing products or images. Preselection up to 85 GHz helps here as do internal attenuator stages to adjust the input level at the downconverter for maximum dynamic range. In addition, the measurement of modulation accuracy of the signal makes a wideband signal capture (1.76 GHz in the case of WLAN 802.11ad) necessary to calculate EVM performance. All these requirements are covered by modern signal analyzers in combination with digital oscilloscopes. The following topics are covered: • Wideband signal analysis • What is behind WLAN 802.11ad • 5G requirements and technology options • Vector signal generation between 56 GHz and 67 GHz • One-box solution for spectrum analysis up to 67 GHz or 85 GHz www.eumweek.com 97 EXHIBITOR WORKSHOPS & SEMINARS Wednesday 9th September 2015 11:00h – 11:45h Modern Methods of Phase Noise Testing In this session, the fundamental concepts and ideas of measuring phase noise parameters on a wide range of devices under test (VCXO, OCXO, etc.) is introduced and demonstrated using a stateof-the-art phase noise analyzer and a signal and spectrum analyzer. The combination of an analyzer with a very good internal reference signal source, high-performance analog-to-digital converters, and sophisticated algorithms such as cross-correlation results in a measurement tool for all modern phase noise measurement needs. The following topics are covered: • Fundamental concepts of RF and digital processing related to phase noise • Cross-correlation technique for increasing dynamic range • Special phase noise measurement functions – spot noise, residuals, spurs, limits • AM suppression and AM noise measurement Wednesday 9th September 2015 12:45h – 13:30h Phase Noise Measurement of Pulsed Signals Phase noise is one of the most crucial parameters in radar systems. The performance of the oscillators in the system influences the range and Doppler resolution. The detection performance of the radar system and its fixed target suppression is also mainly determined by the oscillator performance. This makes phase noise measurement for these applications very important. In this session, the fundamental concepts and ideas of measuring pulsed phase noise are introduced and demonstrated using a state-of-the-art phase noise analyzer. The following topics are covered: • Phase noise influences in radar and measurement needs • Fundamentals of pulsed signals • Cross-correlation technique for increasing dynamic range • Phase noise of pulsed signals Wednesday 9th September 2015 15:00h – 15:45h Phase Noise Measurement with Spectrum Analyzers Measuring phase noise with a general-purpose spectrum analyzer is discussed in this session. Due to the excellent internal phase noise performance, recording of baseband I/Q data and today’s digital signal processing possibilities, a lot of tasks formerly addressed only by phase noise analyzers can now be covered with a spectrum analyzer and a phase noise measurement software option. The same measurement software can also be used on mid-range instruments to cover measurements with lower phase noise requirements. The following topics are covered: • Quick introduction to phase noise • Software concept, DSP details • Phase noise measurements (spurs, residual noise, spot noise, AM rejection) • Tracking/digital PLL and measurement performance Thursday 10th September 2015 11:00h – 12:00h Challenges in Millimeter-Wave Measurements Measurements at millimeter-wave frequencies are more demanding than at microwave frequencies. In addition to system error correction, active device characterization requires precise power calibration, which is a special challenge for on-wafer testing. The workshop gives an overview of the current status of millimeter-wave solutions, focusing on active and frequency-converting device characterization and on-wafer calibration. Frequency converting measurements on components, e.g. for 5G applications up to 90 GHz, are another challenge that will be discussed in this presentation. 98 www.eumweek.com Thursday 10th September 2015 12:00h – 12:45h Measurements on Nonlinear Devices and Envelope Tracking Systems In this session, measurements on state-of-the-art amplifier systems are described. These systems are typically driven by modulated power sources and thus produce a significant nonlinear output signal. By combining a spectrum analyzer with analog baseband inputs and a digital modulation signal generator, all effects of such amplifiers (power-aided efficiency, AM/AM and AM/PM effects…) can be described, and nonlinear effects can be compensated in realtime using the signal generator’s digital predistortion functionality. The following topics are covered: • Fundamentals of nonlinear devices • Important measurements on conventional amplifiers • Envelope tracking (ET) – differences and challenges • Digital predistortion (DPD) Thursday 10th September 2015 12:45h – 13:45h Insight into Nonlinear Device Characterization From Modeling and Waveform Engineering to Active Harmonic Load Pull Systems – in cooperation with Increasing the efficiency of active components such as amplifiers is becoming more and more important in today’s communications systems. To accomplish this, S-parameter characterization has to be supplemented by nonlinear device characterization. This workshop gives an overview of the different nonlinear solutions available from Rohde & Schwarz and Mesuro. Thursday 10th September 2015 13:45h – 14:45h Configurable Signal Conditioning for Network Analyzers Getting Complete Amplifier or T/R Module Characterization with a Single Connection – in cooperation with Amplifiers and, in particular, complex devices such as receivers, transceivers and T/R modules require a large number of test parameters and different test setups for complete characterization. This workshop presents solutions for T/R module tests based on the R&S®ZVA network analyzer. The equipment can be tailored to individual requirements, and components such as internal combiner or pulse modulators can be added as separate options and controlled during the test sequences. Thursday 10th September 2015 15:45h – 16:45h Economical High-End Multiport Solutions Increasing demands in mobile communications or even in component testing for radar and surveillance systems require an increased number of test ports, high RF performance and short measurement times. Thanks to its 4 to 24 integrated test ports, the R&S®ZNBT8 network analyzer features unrivaled RF properties and test time. The RFFE/MIPI GPIO interface allows direct control of integrated semiconductor devices, mainly frontends of mobile phones. Automatic calibration units with up to 24 ports are the basis for economic and accurate multiport calibration.
