EVENT DESCRIPTION - Solid-State Circuits Directions (SSCD) is a new technical committee within the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (related article). Its charter is to promote forward-looking topics, build new communities and stimulate interaction with others. Following SSCD’s inaugural event on hardware security and the workshop on democratizing the IC design, the upcoming workshop will look at the new trend toward active antennas at millimeter-wave up to terahertz frequencies.
Integration of antennas on silicon becomes feasible at frequencies above 100 GHz due to wavelength-related size reduction. The goal of this workshop is to give a vision on potential emerging applications towards THz and present the latest developments on integrated antennas, co-design with active circuits at high mm-wave frequencies. The workshop comprises two days, each rounded up by a panel discussion. The first day will be rounded up by a panel discussion, to discuss the following points: does it make sense to go to frequencies above 100 GHz? Which applications might profit by this? Which frequency bands become available? Does it make sense from the commercial point of view? The second day will be rounded up by a discussion on where and how shall we realize antennas.
AGENDA – DAY 1 “Breaking THz Frontiers”
6:00 AM PDT Welcome & Introductions (Vadim Issakov, TU Braunschweig, Germany)
6:05 AM PDT Vision towards 6G communication and secure channels at THz frequencies (Gerhard Fettweis, TU Dresden, Germany)
6:35 AM PDT Vision on CMOS and BiCMOS technologies towards THz applications (Ned Cahoon, Globalfoundries, USA)
7:05 AM PDT Coffee break
7:15 AM PDT Reconfigurable THz Sensors and Surfaces: Opportunities in a New Design Space (Kaushik Sengupta, Princeton University, USA)
7:45 AM PDT Minimalism in a Demanding THz Era: Multi-Functional and Multi-Resonance Antennas On Silicon Chips (Ruonan Han, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA)
8:15 AM PDT Coffee break
8:20 AM PDT Panel Discussion: “Do we really need THz frequencies?”
Panelists:
