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 2 “Merging Antennas and Active Circuits”
6:00 AM PDT Circuit/antenna co-design for 140 GHz CMOS radar (Ilja Ocket, imec, Belgium)
6:30 AM PDT Advances in Full-Physics Simulation for Active Beamsteering (Devin Crawford, ANSYS)
7:00 AM PDT Interactive Session using Jupyter Notebook
7:05 AM PDT Virtual Coffee break
7:15 AM PDT Vision on mm-Wave Packaging, co-Design and embedded Antennas towards THz (Thomas Zwick, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany)
7:45 AM PDT Holistic Co-Designs of Mm-Wave Circuits with Electromagnetics and Radiation (Hua Wang, ETH Zürich, Switzerland)
8:15 AM PDT Coffee break
8:20 AM PDT Panel Discussion: “Where shall our antennas be and what shall we do with them?”
Panelists:
Thomas Zwick (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), Devin Crawford (ANSYS), Ned Cahoon (Globalfoundries), Ilja Ocket (imec), Hua Wang (ETH Zürich), Sorin Voinigescu (University of Toronto), Gabriel Rebeiz (UC San Diego)
9:00 AM PDT Adjourn Day 2
