Dr. Klaus Werner, RF Energy Alliance’s (RFEA’s) executive director, will present the state of the Alliance during European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2015. Conference attendees may join Dr. Werner and member spokespeople for one of six brief sessions hosted by exhibiting member companies Huber+Suhner, MACOM, NXP Semiconductors and Rogers Corporation.
Audiences will learn about RFEA’s vision, goals and development status of the:
- Q4 2015: RF Amplifier Specification, defining amplifier size, component specifications, cost targets, and paths to efficiencies greater than 65 percent versus standard HPA modules.
- Q1 2016: System Integration Guidelines, definingthe small signal RF generator and controls, power supply units (PSUs), thermal parameters, module interfaces and system integration guidelines.
Additional takeaways include power amplifier capabilities and system design overviews, solid-state RF energy’s measurable impact on various applications and standardization importance. The schedule is below.
Membership Growth
RFEA also announces four new members:
- Cardiff University: Leading UK university renowned for research excellence in the fields of RF power amplifier design and RF energy applications.
- Comba Telecom: Leading supplier of infrastructure and wireless enhancement solutions that extend mobile operators’ and enterprises’ wireless communication networks.
- RJR Polymers: Industry-leading supplier of air cavity Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) electronic packaging and pre-applied epoxies solutions, enabling communications infrastructure, RF Power and RF energy applications with higher frequencies and better thermal performance at an overall lower cost.
- WIN Semiconductors: Leading global provider of pure-play GaAs and GaN wafer foundry services for the wireless, infrastructure and networking markets.
