ADVISORY/Wavestream Corp. to Discuss Emerging Power Amplifier Technology for Communications and Radar Applications at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium.Business Editors/Assignment Desks/High-Tech Writers ADVISORY...for June June: see month. 12, 2003 IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. International Microwave microwave, electromagnetic wave having a frequency range from 1,000 megahertz (MHz) to 300,000 MHz, corresponding to a wavelength range from 300 mm (about 12 in.) to 1 mm (about 0.04 in.). Like light waves, microwaves travel essentially in straight lines. Symposium symposium In ancient Greece, an aristocratic banquet at which men met to discuss philosophical and political issues and recite poetry. It began as a warrior feast. Rooms were designed specifically for the proceedings. --(BUSINESS WIRE)
WHAT: Lawrence Chun-Tung Cheung, an RF engineer at Wavestream
Corp. (www.wavestreamcorp.com), will address design and
performance of transmission-mode and reflection-mode Grid
Amplifiers operating near 60 GHz during the presentation
titled, "V-Band Transmission and Reflection Grid Amplifier
Packaged in Waveguide," on June 12 at 1:30 p.m. at the IEEE
International Microwave Symposium being held June 8-13, 2003
in Philadelphia.
Providing unique insight for this emerging sector, Cheung will
discuss the results of transmission- and reflection-mode Grid
Amplifiers operating near 60 GHz, showing the first
demonstration of gain from packaged single-chip Grid
Amplifiers in this frequency band. These power amplifiers
enable low-cost millimeter-wave transmitters for
communications and radar applications.
WHO: At Wavestream Corp., Cheung is developing high-power,
millimeter wave amplifiers. Cheung received a bachelor's
degree in electrical and electronics engineering from the
University of Hong Kong in 1997. He received his master's and
Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the California
Institute of Technology in 1998 and 2003, respectively,
researching Grid Amplifiers as part of his dissertation.
During his tenure at Caltech, Cheung developed the world's
first Grid Amplifiers packaged in waveguide enclosures
operating from Ka-band through W-band.
Wavestream Corp. designs and manufactures high-power
solid-state millimeter-wave amplifiers for broadband
communications, radar and imaging applications. Wavestream
solves today's power-combining issues through its patented
Grid Amplifier products, which spatially combine the outputs
of a large number of transistors on a single chip, enabling
transistor arrays to radiate output power into a free space
beam with very low loss combining.
WHEN/
WHERE: IEEE International Microwave Symposium
Thursday, June 12, 2003
