General Chair’s Invitation to theIEEE Radio and Wireless Week

RWW 2013 Steering Committee

I have the great honour and pleasure to invite
you to the 2013 IEEE Radio and Wireless Week
(RWW). This will be the seventh RWW and thefirst one in Texas.
RWW2013 will be held at the Renaissance Austin Hotel in Austin, TX, January 20-23, 2013.
Austin is an appropriate site for RWW since it isa vivid center for high-tech and businesses contributing to the whole food chain of the continuously expanding wireless and radio industry.
This is supplemented by University of Texas atAustin and other well known Universities nearby preparing for the future together with startups. This kind of environment fits well with thefocus of RWW. RWW2013 will consist of five
related conferences that focus on the intersection between radio systems and wireless technology, creating a unique forum for engineers
to discuss hardware design and system performance of state-of-the-art wireless systems
and their end-use applications. The conference
targets to bridge the gap between digital andRF and hardware and software which need to
be seamlessly combined to keep wireless industry and mobile applications growing. This
multidisciplinary IEEE event will offer the latest
information on wireless communications andnetworking, associated enabling technologies,
and emerging new services and applications.
Four diverse IEEE Societies are cosponsorsof the RWW events: Microwave Theory andTechniques Society (MTT-S), Antennas andPropagation Society (AP-S), Communications
Society (ComSoc), and Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS).
In addition to the traditional podium technical talks and poster sessions, there will be anIEEE Distinguished Lecturer track, workshops,
panels on hot wireless subjects and a relevant
industry exhibition. It is especially worth mentioning that the podium sessions include very
high quality Late News Papers due to the very
rigorous review process applied. A highlight on
Tuesday will be the plenary talk on “System
Approach to RF and Microwave Design” by Dr.
James Truchard, co-founder and current president and CEO of National Instruments (NI).
On Sunday and Monday evenings there will
be panel sessions free of charge for all wireless professionals The demo track Tuesday
afternoon will provide an interactive forum withhands-on demonstrations of the latest wirelessexperiments and innovations. For the first time
an attractive “Wireless OTA Technical Tour” isoffered (pls. see “Highlights” at www.radiowirelessweek.org for tour and registration info). We
have added a RWW New Attendee Reception
to welcome attendees new to RWW.
To support the future of wireless activities, eachconference will have a student paper competition with awards that will be presented at theTuesday Joint RWW Banquet. On Monday
afternoon, all the student finalists will present
their work in the poster session.
I would like to invite everyone to join us for 3½
days of great technical presentations, careerbuilding networking, informative commercial
exhibition, and some fun at 20–23 January
2013 in Austin, TX.

The 13TH Topical Meeting on
Silicon Monolithic Integrated
Circuits in RF Systems
Message from the SiRF General Chair:
Welcome to SiRF 2013!
The IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems heads
into its 13th installment. During its lifetime, theart of monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMICs) has seen a dramatic development,
largely driven by Silicon technology progress.
While in the 1990’s the lossy Si substrate wasseen as a significant implementation hurdle,
and the emerging Silicon-Germanium heterojunction bipolar transistor was just beginning to close the speed gap between Silicon
and group III-V semiconductor technologies,
Silicon MMICs are now common place, in consumer applications where it can harness the
economy of scale of Silicon production processes, or in lower volume applications where
Si ICs are not necessarily cheaper than their
GaAs competitors, but offer an impressive onchip complexity combining many high speed
analog circuit functions with on-chip digital
control, signal processing, or DC-DC conversion for increased design flexibility.
With the introduction of radio frequency microelectro-mechanical structures (RF MEMS) as
a monolithic option into state-of-the-art Si/
SiGe BiCMOS foundry processes, the door
is wide open for true single chip radio frequency microsystems. The same micromachining techniques needed for RF MEMS or
through-Silicon via connections can produce
highly efficient on-chip antennas, which in the
millimeter-wave range no longer come with ahefty chip real estate penalty. The fully selfcontained 122 GHz radar front-end which connects to the embedding system only for DC
supply and a digital control bus is thus justaround the corner.
The rapidly maturing Silicon RF technology
is not necessarily good news for SiRF. Once
comfortably in the realm of specialists’ workshops, where you met the same group of colleagues every year, SiRF now competes withestablished biggies like ISSCC or IMS which
recently attract large numbers of papers on Si
RFICs. Thus, SiRF has to constantly re-invent
itself.
Its main niche is that it was never a technologists’ or a circuit designers’ conference. It was
and is the place where these two worlds meet,where new processes can be benchmarked
against the needs of circuit designers at the
bleeding edge of RF systems, where today’s
design compromises can trigger tomorrow’s
advanced technologies.
So I am looking forward to three stimulatingdays with you all here in Austin, TX.

Machine-To-Machine (M2M) communication is
set to be a major growth area: It is a new andemerging technology for designing and implementing fully automated systems and networks.
In the M2M approach, devices automaticallyrecognize their circumstances and environments, such as the surrounding people andobjects, and communicate accordingly throughautonomous information sharing. There is a major consensus that new wireless services basedon new ways of using wireless technologies,
such as M2M will grow exponentially in next
few years.

Software Defined Radio has moved from an obscure research and military system to become
the primary receiver and transmitter system ofchoice for most radio communication systems.
There are only SDR cellular base stations now
and most public safety communications systems
are adopting SDR architecture. From military to
space exploration, SDR provides more flexibility
and better signal recovery than conventional
analog communications. It is also the basis ofcognitive radio.

Metamaterials have recently gained popularity
in many different research communities. Several interesting phenomena such as negativeindex of refraction, backward wave propagation,
epsilon and mu near zero and nearfield amplification have been reported. A multitude of new
types of antennas, couplers, filters, phase shifters, hybrids, diplexers and sensors have been
introduced and studied based on these unusual
properties of Metamaterials.

This workshop gives an insight to new wireless M2M devices and opens the discussions
on different M2M scenarios and applications.
Workshop speakers will interact with the attendees and emphasize on the RF opportunities for
implementation of M2M technologies. The workshop starts with short overview followed by presentations on M2M evolution and its impact on
smart-grid, healthcare, transportation and otherday-to-day applications. Presentations will also
include device, system and security challenges;
IEEE standardization efforts as well as wirelesspositioning systems for real-time monitoring.

The niche field of Terahertz Electronics is rapidly
approaching what promises to be a revolutionary change in circuit design, fabrication, costand component availability. For over three
decades it has only been possible to produce
one or two function circuits using expensive
III-V materials and custom two or three terminal devices. Over the last few years, new fully
integrated photonic-to-RF devices and siliconand silicon germanium CMOS circuits have broken the submillimeter-wave barrier. Complex
multi-function transceivers have been realized
at frequencies above 300 GHz and are quickly
heading towards demonstration at 1 THz. These
circuits can be designed and fabricated throughcommercial foundries at 1% of the cost associated with GaAs or InP processing. The mostwidespread near term commercial application
for these high speed circuits is in the area of
wireless communications. This Workshop is
intended to introduce some of these new THz
device and circuit concepts as they apply toultra-high speed communications and wirelesstransmission. Notable THz experts from Asia,
Europe and the US will present their latest results and their thoughts on where the field isheaded.

Abstract:

The complexity, cost and size of the RF frontend in cellular phones develops more and more to a bottle-neck which may impact future revenue of related industry as a whole unless disruptive solutions can be found. The vision to replace the many parallel fixed tuned receive andtransmit RF signal paths of today by one tunable path for low-band and another one for high-band exists for long. Tunable device technologies based on BST, SOI or MEMS are maturing. Tunable and reconfigurable filters are a subject of intense research. Despite of this currently
available solutions do not yet meet requirements for cellular phones. The panel will discuss cellular requirements, available solutions, theirlimitations and measures to overcome current barriers.

Austin Attractions
Blanton Museum. The Blanton Museum is part of the University of Texas at Austin and presents an impressive art collection that spans three continents and several centuries. Thursday is free to all.
Texas Capitol. 309 feet tall, and modeled after the USA Capitol in Washington D.C., this is the nation’s tallest capitol in the country. It was designed by architect Elijah E. Myers and constructed of local red
granite. It was completed in 1888 and it has been recently renovated to bring back the original typical color of the Texas stone. Free 30-45 minute daily tours describing the story of Austin and of Texas are offered
every day.
Zilker Botanical Garden. Zilker Botanical Garden features several themed garden areas, free and open to the public most of the year. The focus here is on exotic plants.
Barton Springs Pool. Located in Zilker Park, Barton Springs Pool is a favorite Austin swimming hole for locals and visitors. It’s a natural spring with three acres of water, lots of room for the numerous swimmers it attracts every moment of the year. It remains cool all year round, due to the natural water.
Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. Lady Bird Johnson, Texan first lady, was an advocate of preserving the natural beauty of regional gardens. She founded these gardens in 1982. Today, they’re279 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, trails, and pretty buildings, including a cafe and a neat little gift shop. Native plants dominate the scene.
Harry Ransom Center. Also part of the University of Texas at Austin, the Harry Ransom Center is an impressive art collection focused on multimedia artifacts. Rare books (including one of the early Gutenberg’s Bibles), films, photographs and much more is available in this impressive center.
Salt Lick Barbeque. A bit away from downtown Austin, it is one of the all-favorite Texan Barbeque, with its famed barbeque sauce and the brisket meat cooked for over 16 hours. It is worth the 20-mile drive
just to see the massive outdoor barbecue pits. A tourist favorite.
The University of Texas at Austin Campus. Located downtown, north of the Capitol, the campus is a pleasant area to visit and walk through. At its center, the famous Tower, symbol of the university,
27 stories high, it glows orange in celebration of UT sport victories.
Alamo Drafthouse. Independent theater with interesting movies that you can watch while enjoying food and drink delivered to your seat.
Broken Spoke. World-class country music in an authentic, typically Texan, dance hall. Sand-covered wood floors and train chandeliers complete the scene.

MO2A-2 Towards Greener Smartphones with Microwave Measurements
D. Schreurs,
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Div.
ESAT-TELEMIC
Today’s smartphone handsets offer awide range of functions (phone, GPS,
Bluetooth, WiFi) to customers, although
are still perceived as expensive andenergy consuming (requiring a daily recharge). The aim of this talk is to show
how microwave measurements impact
smartphone design. By optimally engineering the type of measurements
made before and after design (linear,
nonlinear, loadpull, modulation), the efficiency of the design process not only
increases, but tougher specifications
such as smaller form factor and lower
energy consumption can be met moreeasily. This observation is especiallyvalid in the design of green multi-mode
wireless radios, due to the delicate balance between energy efficiency andlinearity (that is, cross talk between
channels). The didactic level of this talkwill be adapted to the background of theaudience.

Abstract:

With advances in wireless connectivity between suchdevices as PC’s, PDA’s, printers, etc., the realization ofa wireless personal area network (WPAN) for interconnecting such devices in an individual’s workspace has
improved since 1994. The demand for high speed connectivity at home or office has pushed the WPAN technology to new milestones and created new challenges. In
this panel, we have attempted to create a stage to foster
new ideas and technical insights in the design, analysis
and development WPAN. Panelists who are experts fromacademia and industry will discuss theoretical and practical aspects of WPAN. They will discuss the latest breakthroughs, antenna systems, power limitations, standardization, and specific WPAN routing requirements.

According to the Business Software Alliance (BSA), 42%of the world’s software is pirated with a commercial valueof over $63B per year. How do these figures scale down
within the Wireless and microwave design communities and what is the cost impact to those that use legal
software? Are there variations by geographic region orcompany size and how might these variations impact job
growth and/or outsourcing of engineering jobs. What canbe done to better protect software and intellectual property? Who uses pirated software, and what are the risks
for employees and employers? Come hear interesting
stories from the front lines in the battle to prevent software piracy.

Abstract:

While many take base station designs for granted, there are some aspects of the current technology that give opportunities for dramatic change
and impact on the wireless industries. These are in the areas of compatibility with suburban infrastructure and in evening out power flux density/
field strength in the service areas. Zoning, permitting, and neighbor opposition have been a key factor in preventing the rollout of wireless infrastructure and hence limiting spectrum efficiency. Too often suburban infrastructure is bulky and looks like it was “designed by engineers”. Custom
designed installations reduce this problem but are very expensive. Some speakers will address technical and visual design options for lowering
the visual impact of suburban base stations.
While regulators have classically limited eirp of base stations to control interference, there is a real impact from high pfd/fs near base stations thateither limits spectrum efficiency or causes interference to adjacent band systems. When mobile radio used VHF and low UHF the wavelengths
involved limited viable antenna design options. However, the growing use of 1-5 GHz for mobile wireless gives new design options to decrease“power on the ground” variation throughout the intended service area.
Moreover new challenges start to appear with new proposals of Radio over Fiber, and Femtocells, that will create an even more crowded spectrum
occupancy and will penetrate the indoor scenarios with improved energy efficiency for the communication operator, but not necessarily for the
final user.

Plenary Speaker:
Dr. James Truchard is the co-founder andcurrent president and CEO of National Instruments (NI). NI provides an integrated
hardware and software platform to simplify
systems for measurement and control. It isa pioneer in the concept of “virtual instrumentation”.
James Truchard earned a B.S. and an
M.S. in physics, and a Ph.D. in ElectricalEngineering from the University of Texas
at Austin. He is a member of the National
Academy of Engineering and the Royal
Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences.
After two years of working as a managing
director of a research lab, Dr. Truchard realized that there was little room for promotion unless one of his coworkers retired.
As he often remarks, he “didn’t see a job
I wanted [in Austin] – so I created one!”.
In 1976, working in the garage at Dr.
Truchard’s home, he co-founded National
Instruments along with Jeff Kodosky andBill Nowlin and began designing an interface board. In 1986, in conjunctionwith
Kodosky, Dr. Truchard played a pivotal
role in the development of the LabVIEW
graphical development software, whichallows scientists to quickly build solutions
for their measurement and automationneeds.
The graphical programming interface thatLabVIEW provides have revolutionized
the way engineers and scientists work. Today, National Instruments is a global company with over a billion dollars in sales.
