“RF Technology applied in space & ground systems”

SSBV Space & Ground Systems provides innovative space and ground system solutions. The ground based activities include Earth Observation and TTC modems. In the space segment SSBV
is involved in the development of instruments and electronics for a new generation of smallsat SAR imaging radar. RF technology plays a crucial role in the front-ends of all of these systems,
which will be elaborated in the presentation.Laurens Bierens, SSBV Space & Ground Systems on behalf of

“Testing & Troubleshooting for WiFi 202 11 . Embedded Design”Millions of IEEE 802.11 devices are in use and they operate in the same frequency bands. This makes the need for their coexistence critical. Testing a new chipset, designing a new
WLAN module, or integrating a module into your latest design, requires testing interoperability. This presentation provides an overview for each of the 802.11 standards,
including 802.11/ac 160MHz@5GHz, PHY layer characteristics and testing requirements.Saliou Dieye, Tektronix on behalf of C.N. Rood

“Miniature Ceramic Microwave Filters”

This presentation describes the design and manufacture of surface mount miniaturised filters offering performances up  to 20GHz+. The Process of “prototyping before manufacture” will be described, based on a
realisation on high dielectric constant ceramic substrate using a 2.5D solver together with full characterisation of the x,y and z components of dielectric constants. Manufacturing of these filters use industry
standard MIC processing techniques.Gavin Ripley, BSC Filters on behalf of Heynen

“Passive Intermodulation (PIM), an interference challenging the radio access network performance”

Passive Intermodulation (PIM) is not a new phenomenon. Non linearity within cables, components, connections and antennas create 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th order disturbances conflicting with signals of receiver channels. With multiple transmit carriers and the use of multi-technology sites (GSM, UMTS, CDMA and LTE) by several operators, PIM issues are getting more serious and more complex. This presentation gives a
full overview off the fundamentals of intermodulation, problems caused by PIM, solutions to reduce PIM and new testing techniques to improve the radio access network performance.Johan Nordhall from Kaelus of behalf of Livingston

“Harmful RF Discharge in high power vacuum systems: What is the Multipactor Effect?”

The Multipactor phenomenon is a harmful effect since it degrades the transmitted signal, it can damage and even destroy RF devices. The design of Multipactor free components is critical
for industries like Space, Vacuum Electronics, Radar, Satellite Systems and Particle Accelerators. This lecture introduces the basics of Multipactor and its dependence on several factors.
The fundamentals of Multipactor testing will also be outlined.Dr. Sergio Anza, Aurora Software & Testing on behalf of AR Benelux

“Superfast & Accurate EMI measurements thanks to FFT & Time Domain Scan Techniques suitable for both precompliance & conformance testing”By using FFT based real-time frequency analysis in modern EMI receivers, measuring times are highly reduced compared to traditional EMI receivers. A great benefit for EMC test labs by increased
efficiency and thus lower costs in product development and certification tests. A same powerful FFT implementation in high-speed oscilloscopes contribute in an early stage of electronic product
development to detect possible EMI problems. This presentation gives an overview of the theory and technology behind real-time EMI testing.Jos Westhof – Jacobs, Rohde & Schwarz

“A user introduction to GPS theory & simulation”A short discussion about how the global positioning system works, showing some of the complex theory behind getting a GPS fix on a receiver, and an introduction and demonstration of some of the
latest hand held equipment that can be used for multi-satellite GPS simulation (GPSG-1000).

“One RF measurement science for Multiple instrument Form Factors”The evolving wireless market demands improved performance, speed and efficiency across various stages of the product life cycle with more functionality, lower cost and faster time to market.
Determining which form factor is best suited for testing needs is dependent upon several qualities: speed, performance, cost, footprint, user interface, and more. There is not one of these form factors which
is the best, so users need to choose based on the most important needs for their stage of the product lifecycle. By sharing the same measurement science between these form factors, engineers can now create synergies instead of creating inefficienciesGustaaf Sutorius, Agilent Technologies on behalf of

“Prediction of Co-Site interference in complex RF environments”Predicting cosite interference and analyze multi-antenna platforms in complex RF environments such as commercial aircrafts, UAVs or ships can be a challenging task.
This talk will demonstrate how software tools such as CST STUDIO SUITE® and EMIT can help engineers to analyze and mitigate interference effects. A complete workflow starting from the
simulation of the antenna coupling to the system co-site interference of the RF-Systems will be presented.Dr. Frank Demming-Janssen, CST AG Germany on behalf of Hi-Tech Rf & Microwave Solutions

“Fast & Accurate RF component characterization enabled by FPGA Technology”To address the needs for increased performance and complexity, RF instruments leverage field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). These FPGAs are typically closed with fixed personalities
designed for specific purposes and allow little customization.RF Instrumentation with user-programmable FPGAs can bring significant speed and flexibility advantages to users as will be highlighted in a RF
component characterization application.
