As part of the technical program, the Student Design Competition (SDC) is one of the most energetic parts of IMS. The SDCs have proven to be very successful events in the past 12 years, as evidenced by the ever increasing student participation and the support it has enjoyed from the organizers, both logistically and financially. […]

Date: Sept 29th – Paris – Porte de Versailles Session: WS – 04 Chair/Vice-Chair: Kazutaka Inoue / Kazuya Yamamoto Abstract: Various RF front-end technologies based on GaN, Si-CMOS etc. for 5G new radios (NRs) base stations have been discussed in major conferences up to now. Now, the 3GPP has announced that 5G standards have been […]

Date: Sept 29th – Paris – Porte de Versailles Session: WS-08 Chair/Vice-Chair: Gabriele Formicone / Guillaume Callet Abstract: Latest or emerging trends in radar and communications take advantage of operation over multiple frequency bands to achieve system capabilities unobtainable through operation over a standard frequency band. One example of such trend is clearly manifested in […]

Session: WMC – June 3rd Organizers: Didier Belot, Eric Kerhervé Organizers organizations: CEA-LETI, IMS (UMR5218) Abstract 5G spectrum is presently open world-wide to sub-6GHz and mm-Wave bands at 26GHz, 28GHz, and other bands at 40GHz, 60GHz (V) and 71-86GHz (E) are under evaluation in most parts of the world.
