The IET, Savoy Place, London, UK

This event will focus on discussing the key technological and commercial drivers in the area of wideband receivers and components.

Key topics that will be addressed include:

System design for wide bandwidths
Components (wideband oscillators, low noise amplifiers, highly linear devices, DDS etc) and emerging semiconductor technologies
Simulation tools and design optimisation
Miniaturisation of wideband receivers and components
Packaging and implementation
Future development and issues
Reduction in size, cost, etc.
Frequency licensing

This event has now taken place.
