IEEE North Jersey Section AP/MTT Jt. Chapter Co-Sponsors the TALK: "Enabling Multi-Functional and Reconfigurable RF and Microwave Technologies with Integrated Thin-Films and Techniques"

 

The rapidly expanding wireless communications market is witnessing significant shifts in the demands and capabilities of radios, particularly with the advent of 6G and subsequent technologies. Various functional RF passive technologies are paving the way for new possibilities, supporting diverse communication standards in current and future wireless systems. The upcoming webinar will explore the advancement of agile frequency and electrically tunable compact RF and microwave passive components. These advancements facilitate multifunctional and adaptable radios by integrating thin films (such as ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials), on-chip tuning methods (like diodes and transistors), and innovative design frameworks. The designs' effectiveness and applications will be showcased through an in-depth examination of RF and microwave passives, including versatile and multi-purpose transmission lines, phase shifters, filters, and antennas.

Topic:

Enabling Multi-Functional and Reconfigurable RF and Microwave Technologies with Integrated Thin-Films and Techniques

The wireless communications market is rapidly evolving, experiencing significant shifts in radio demands and capabilities, particularly with the emergence of 6G and subsequent technologies. Various RF passive technologies are unlocking new opportunities and supporting a broad array of communication standards for current and future wireless systems. The upcoming webinar will explore advancements in agile frequency and electrically tunable compact RF and microwave passive components. These innovations facilitate the development of multifunctional and adaptable radios by integrating thin films (such as ferroelectric and ferromagnetic materials), on-chip tuning methods (like diodes and transistors), and novel design frameworks. We will highlight the effectiveness and applications of these designs through an in-depth examination of RF and microwave passive components, including versatile transmission lines, phase shifters, filters, and antennas.
