abstract

  • The lunchtime panel sessions at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) provide a platform for a spirited discussion on topics of interest to the Microwave Theory and Techniques community. During each 80-min session, short presentations by a number of leading experts will set the stage for a debate with an emphasis on audience participation. Today's standard approach utilizes separate filters for each band and band group amplifiers while using antennas that attempt to cover the full bandwidth. While this architecture scales linearly, it is quickly becoming untenable. The cellular network is rapidly evolving, driven by the immense global consumer appetite for data. Bandwidth across the spectrum is auctioned and then rolled out to support these needs. Effectively leveraging this bandwidth requires RF hardware that can operate across the current and future (LTE-A) multiple frequency ranges.
