RF Compound Semiconductor Industry Status and Outlook
This webinar is available for sponsorship: 781.619.1940 or kanderson@mwjournal.com.
GaAs is the enabling technology for wireless, consumer, automotive, defense and other market segments. This webinar presented by Strategy Analytics will examine the impact of 2008-2009 market dynamics on the GaAs industry, looking at existing market demand and exploring future drivers for growth in 2010 and beyond. On the other end of the spectrum, GaN is an emerging technology that offers potentially significant leaps in terms of performance and capabilities, but is at an early stage of commercial deployment with the primary pull coming from the defense sector. The session will highlight the threats and opportunities for both GaAs and GaN technologies from both a market and technology perspective and discuss the wider implications for the RF compound semiconductor industry.

CST STUDIO SUITE version 2010 - A Real Breakthrough in High Frequency Electromagnetic Field Simulation
Presented By: Dr. David Johns, Vice President of Engineering and Support, CST of America Inc.
This free 1-hour webinar uses 4 challenging real-world applications to show the features and benefits of the brand new version 2010 of CST MICROWAVE STUDIO®, the industry's easiest to use and most comprehensive electromagnetic design and optimization tool. The models used in this presentation will include a large navy frigate with multiple antenna systems, an automotive instrumentation panel, an Airbus jet and a combined high speed PCB and package system. With these examples, we'll be looking at installed antenna performance, EMC/EMI, lightning strike and signal integrity. CST's complete technology and high performance computing (HPC) will show how such complex systems can be modeled efficiently and accurately.
Addressing Emerging CATV and FTTH Networks with 75 Ohm-Specific Solutions
Presented by: Brian Bauer, Product Marketing Manager, TriQuint Semiconductor
To be competitive with Telecom triple-play service offerings, CATV operators must upgrade their network speed and intelligent spectrum management capabilities. This webinar looks at frequency management systems and deep fiber approaches, particularly how they impact requirements on RFIC amplifiers. Fiber deep approaches are well served with newer Gallium Arsenide processes, with very low noise and inherent stability through high trans-conductance. Use of head end frequency management systems such as Edge QAM is increasing the need for high density and low power consumption. We’ll look at new on-chip linearized and other solutions that simplify the design process and reduce the number of amplifier stages required to provide highly-efficient solutions.
