Dear Electronics Marketer,
Trade shows are experiencing a resurgence as the need for face-to-face contact is becoming more and more apparent. The Microwave Theory and Techniques Society premier event - the International Microwave Symposium for 2006, will be held in San Francisco on June 11-16. May is RF Design's official MTT-S show issue, including a special preview feature examining the products that exhibitors will be unveiling.
Design engineers will travel to San Francisco from all over the world, looking to RF Design and the show for the latest in microwave and RF technology. Advertisers in this issue can be assured their message will be seen by 40,000 loyal readers and show attendees. The May Issue will be distributed in a handy carryall bag and will feature bonus distribution at our booth and in publication bins on the show floor. Ten sponsors will have the chance to drop a piece of literature or CD in the bag, and thus distribute their information to thousands of attendees!
We are also sending out a Pre-Show Newsletter with a sneak preview of some of the exciting new products that will be unveiled at the show. We are only accepting ten sponsors on a first-come, first-served basis. Sponsorships begin at just $500. With all that is at stake at this show and for all the money you are investing, this is a very inexpensive way to be sure that the attendees stop by your booth first!!
The May issue will also include our magnastripped supplement, Emerging Wireless Technology edited by Cheryl Ajluni. New and emerging RF and wireless standards and technology will one day be used in everything from high-speed Internet access and smart homes, to biometric-based wireless networks. These standards are literally changing the technological landscape in which today's microwave and RF engineers work to design, test and verify next-generation systems and subsystems. In the process, they are redefining the world in which we live.
In addition to bonus distribution at MTT-S, the May issue of Emerging Wireless Technology will focus on the evolving wireless broadband technology known as WiMAX. It will address one of the areas of interest on every design engineer's mind:
- How can WiMAX-based SoC be configured to support FDD or TTD mode in the design of a multi-sector base station?
- Will WiMAX 802.16e OFDM create a new fixed-to-basic mobility market?
Your presence in this issue of Emerging WirelessTechnology will quickly establish your company as the leading supplier of compliant solutions for wireless applications. I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!
Best regards,

Microwave/Millimeter Wave Technology
Recent Advancements in Surface Mount Plastic Packages for Microwave/Millimeter Wave Devices
Market pressure is driving manufacturers of microwave and millimeter wave devices to use cost-effective plastic packages. The article looks at recent advances in plastic packaging and their use in devices such as power amplifiers and doublers, performing as high as 45 GHz.
Signal Processing
Evaluating High Performance Drivers and ADCs for Multi-Carrier IF Sampling
The advent of multi-carrier receivers and software defined radios (SDRs) is forcing equipment designers and IC designers to strive to design systems with ever increasing dynamic range. This results in receivers which must accommodate large or small input signals while maintaining distortion and noise to a minimum. As the resolution of IF-sampling analog-to-digital converters (ADC) increases from 12-bit to 14-bit, the amplifiers which drive them must keep pace and deliver lower distortion and noise. While this presents a challenge to IC designers, performance levels required are often a challenge to measure as they push the capabilities of the test equipment employed to evaluate the circuits. This article explores the performance balance that must be achieved between ADC drivers and ADCs, along with the challenges associated with measuring ever-increasing device performance.
Design Tools/Software
Models to Optimize Wireless Communication Designs
Global optimization of the design of a wireless communication system requires exploration of a multi-domain design space encompassing signal processing and communications algorithms and RF subsystem design. Using the physical layer of the IEEE 802.11a Wi-Fi wireless LAN as an example, this article shows how a multi-domain simulator can be used to explore the design space and reach the optimum trade-off.
Tx/Rx Technology
Multi-Gigabit Wireless Technology at 70, 80 and 90 GHz
In October 2003, FCC made a historic ruling that 13 GHz of previously unused spectrum at 71 to 76 GHz, 81 to 86 GHz and 92 to 95 GHz was available for high density fixed wireless services in the US. For the first time, true gigabit-speed wireless communications with carrier-class performances over distances of a mile or more became realizable. New markets for fiber replacement or extension, point-to-point wireless local area networks, and broadband Internet access at gigabit data rates and beyond have been opened up. This article explores the significance of the 70, 80 and 90 GHz bands, and describes a new wireless scheme that supports the fastest radios available today, offering full-duplex data rates in excess of 1 Gbps with carrier class 99.999% weather availability at distances of 1 mile or more.

May’s Emerging Wireless Technology supplement discusses how a WiMAX-based SoC can be configured to support FDD or TTD mode in the design of a multi-sector base station, and whether or not WiMAX 802.16e OFDM will create a new fixed-to-basic mobility market. The supplement also examines test and measurement issues for the emerging wireless standard as well as a look at the latest news and products recently introduced to market.
