2007 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium

Monday 8 Jan., 2007
8:30 AM- 5:00 PM

Abstract:
The overall workshop will provide key information on EMI concerns as they pertain to present and future wireless/cellular phone technologies and associated packaging issues. More specifically, this workshop will address the electromagnetic interference (EMI) aspects of the proliferation of modern wireless devices such as current radio and cell phone technologies. It will address both EMI from product to product such as cellular phones, wireless radio devices and packaging, as well as relevant spectrum allocation issues. Topics to be discussed will include:

EMI from licensed cell and wireless transmitters
EMI for unlicensed cell and wireless transmitters
Telecom Certification Body (TCB) issues with EMI and wireless/telecommunications devices
EMI and future wireless and cellular technologies
International and regulatory aspects of EMI and wireless/cellular device

The first part of this workshop will introduce and define the concept of Platform and Cellular Device RF/Microwave Interference. It will include presentations on the concept of RF/microwave EMI for wireless systems including measurement techniques, design methodologies and case studies to establish risks and determine mitigation requirements for platform and device-generated RF/microwave EMI.

The second part of this workshop will address specific device issues particularly as they relate to radiated electromagnetic interference and immunity for modern communications systems including cell devices, as well as the impact of new communications device technologies and dynamic frequency selection. Additional specific case studies will be presented along with a focus on selected wireless/cell technology, EMI packaging considerations, spectrum and laboratory measurement methods.
