2016 46th European Microwave Conference (EuMC 2016)

The 46th European Microwave Conference (EuMC) represents the main event in the European Microwave Week 2016, the largest event in Europe dedicated to microwave components, systems and technology.

The European Microwave Conference is a premier event to present the status and trends in the fields of microwave, millimetre-wave and terahertz systems and technologies. A broad range of high frequency related topics, from materials and technologies to integrated circuits, systems and applications will be addressed in all their aspects: theory, simulation, design and measurement. Examples include the latest developments for fi lters and passive components, modelling and design of RF MEMS and microsystems, high frequency and high data rate microwave photonics, highly stable and ultra low-noise microwave and millimetre-wave sources, new linearization techniques, 5G, IoT and the impact of new packaging technologies on development applications. Special emphasis will be placed on emerging technologies and materials for microwave components such as nanotechnologies and graphene, metamaterial structures and devices, tuneable RF components, reconfigurable RF systems and systemin- package. The scope also includes electromagnetic field theory, theoretical and experimental developments in wave propagation and antenna systems, and advanced simulation and characterization techniques. An additional focus will be put on the system implications of future microwave communications, wireless power transfer, radar with wireless communication capability, millimetre-wave imaging systems and microwaves in industrial and medical applications.

The European Microwave Conference provides many opportunities for networking and interaction with international experts in a wide variety of specialties, attracting delegates with academic as well as industrial backgrounds. With carefully selected papers in more than 40 oral and poster sessions, the conference represents an exciting forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent advances in the microwave arena. In addition to scientific papers, contributions on industrial applications are also encouraged, covering the fields of instrumentation, medical, telecommunication, radar, space, automotive and defense systems.
