RFIC'08

The 2008 IEEE RFIC (Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits) Symposium will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, on June 15-17 in conjunction with the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS), as part of the Microwave Week 2008.

The IEEE RFIC Symposium is one of the most important IEEE conferences dedicated to the latest innovations in RF and microwave integrated circuits.

The technical areas of RFIC 2008 include RFIC design, RFIC circuits, design methodology, system engineering, RF testing and packaging... And I wish to hightlight that one of the topics explicitly mentioned in the Call for Papers is "Modeling and CAD: RFIC Modeling, Characterization of Active and Passive Devices".

Certainly, RFIC'08, as well as IEEE MTT-S IMS, will allow an easy interaction between high-frequency compact model developers and their potential users.

The deadline for paper submission is January 3 2008.

IMS 2008

The IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium 2008 (IMS 2008) will be held in Atlanta, Georgia from June 15 to June 20 2008.

IMS is the largest conference in the field of RF and microwave theory and techniques.

IMS'08 will include workshops, to be held on Sunday June 15, Monday June 16 and Friday June 20 2008. The IMS 2008 Technical Sessions will take place from Tuesday June 17 to Thursday June 18.

In such a large conference, there are many parallel sessions. The scope of IMS is large, and papers on compact modeling of semiconductor devices in the RF and microwave regime can be presented at IMS. In fact, IMS is a very adequate forum for that, because of the presence of the potential users of the device models (designers of RF and microwave circuits).

IMS will be part of the Microwave Week 2008, which will also include a microwave exhibition, the RFIC Symposium and the ARFTG Conference.

The deadline for paper submission is December 7 2007.

Last but not least, IMS'08 includes a very interesting social programme, and a guest tour roster.
Certainly Atlanta is an exciting city that offers many places and activities to enjoy!
