Workshop Program

This introductory seminar is organized to help microwave engineers in practical understanding of the basic distributed circuit design. Focusing on one of important equations described in general text books, a lecture for sufficient understanding of the basic distributed circuit will be experimented describing the theories from stub circuits and impedance transformers to broadband directional couplers.

IEEE802.11ad/WiGig applications are widely discussed since the Si integrated circuit, IC, technology has become practically available for mm-wave systems. Thanks to the mm-wave ICs, the development of mm-wave systems seems to become much easier than before. However, because of its high frequency, there is still to be done for productizing mm-wave systems, such as antenna design,　efficient evaluation, cost reduction, and so on. In this talk, some key enabling technologies for the mm-waves are picked up and overviewed so as to give some motivational tips for beginners who are interested in the high speed communication technologies.
