The 9th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC) will be held on 6 and 7 October 2014 in Rome, Italy, as part of the European Microwave Week 2014. Started by the GAAS® Association in 1990 and renamed in 2006, it is at its Silver Jubilee edition. The EuMIC conference is jointly organized by GAAS® Association and EuMA and is the premier European technical conference for RF microelectronics. It has proven to greatly contribute to the European Microwave Week success and will remain the largest scientific event in Europe related to RF microelectronics. Aim of the conference is to promote the discussion of recent developments and trends, and to encourage the exchange of scientific and technical information covering a broad range of high-frequency related topics, from materials and technologies to integrated circuits and applications, that will be addressed in all of their aspects: theory, simulation, design and measurement. Technological innovations are challenging for the modeling and simulation as well as for the characterization techniques both on device and circuit levels. While GaAs and silicon-based IC technologies are extensively used in today’s systems, emerging technologies such as wide band gap (SiC, GaN, etc.), InP/Antimonide CNT and Graphene-based devices are expected to become commercially available within a few years, with a huge impact on system performance. Moreover, new materials and devices push the integrated circuits to millimeter-wave and even to THz bands, and high speed digital and optoelectronic integrated circuits bridge the gap to new information and communication applications. To provide short time-to-product, first-pass success in the design becomes therefore critical. Accurate component modeling and efficient CAD/CAE tools are vitally important. Success in these technologies will enable new services in the areas of safety and security, high bitrate wireless access, and multi-gigabit/s low-cost wireless links. In such a swiftly changing environment, it is essential to be well informed about the latest technological developments. In the modeling area, topics related to device and system small and large signal characterization, set-ups and modeling approaches up to THz applications are focused with a particular emphasis. In the technology area, papers on wide-bandgap devices and technologies, as well as on devices for microwave photonics and space-aspects of IC technologies are specifically solicited. Finally, in the circuit design and applications topics, millimetre- and submillimetre-wave devices and circuits, mixedsignal, tunable and reconfigurable IC’s as well as integrated receivers and transmitters are in the spotlight. If you are interested in anything about microwave and RF IC’s, the EuMIC conference is an exceptional venue to learn about the latest advances in the field and meet recognized experts from both Industry and Academia.
