DESCRIPTION:The talk will concern recent developments based on slow-wave tr
 ansmission lines\, in PCB and silicon technologies (CMOS or BiCMOS)\, from
  RF to mm-waves. After a brief description of current and future applicati
 ons in RF & mm-waves\, challenges in the design of RF & mm-wave passive ci
 rcuits will be discussed. Then slow-wave concept will be described. It ope
 ns the way for the design of small size and high-electrical performance ci
 rcuits. Three topologies of slow-wave transmission lines will be detailed:
  S-CPW (for Slow-wave CPW)\, S-µstrip (for Slow-wave µstrip lines) and S
 W-SIW (for Slow-wave Substrate Integrated Waveguides). Finally\, several c
 ircuits built with this kind of transmission lines will be presented: powe
 r dividers\, filters\, couplers\, phase shifters\, VCOs and power amplifie
 rs.\n\nCo-sponsored by: NRF KIC\n\nSpeaker(s): Philippe Ferrari\, \, Phili
