largest exhibition dedicated to RF and Microwave technology.

General Chair WelCoMeOn behalf of the IMS2013 Steering Committee, it is my privilege to welcome you to Seattle! Thank you for joining us for Microwave Week .

It has been eleven years since IMS was held in Seattle, and so much has changed . The city of Seattle has grown and its character continues to evolve . You will find it even more active, more vibrant and fun than it was in 2002 . The Northwest Microwave community has evolved as well, with major industry con-tributors in RFID, Avionics, Semiconductors, and Test and Measurement .

In addition, our local companies have had a great part in expanding the scope and capability of our global wireless imprint . We can now create and commu-nicate almost anywhere in the world as a result of the collective work of IMS attendees, presenters and exhibitors . The Pacific Northwest has participated in the most recent wireless revolution in a very significant way . Local companies based in Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, BC, have been at the forefront of key advancements such as the implementation of LTE, and the development of semiconductors that have enabled new technology . You will witness significant participation by the Northwest community in the Plenary and Closing Sessions, in the Historical Exhibit and on the Exhibition floor .

3Technical program

Microwave Week has countless opportunities to present, learn and connect with other members of our growing industry . No other event in the RF and Microwave world offers as much tech-nical information, has as many exhibitors, or provides as good a forum to exchange ideas and meet key personnel who truly move our industry forward .

Co-located with IMS as part of Microwave Week are the Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuit Symposium (RFIC), and the Auto-matic Radio-Frequency Techniques Group (ARFTG) Microwave Measurement Conference . RFIC brings focus to the techni-cal accomplishments in RF circuits, systems, and devices and showcases the latest innovations in RF integrated circuit design . RFIC is held Sunday, 2 June through Tuesday, 4 June . The ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference is a single-day event, it will be held on Friday, 7 June . ARFTG is focused on the RF and micro-wave test and measurement community .

The Plenary Session will be held in the early evening on Monday . Our Plenary address is being given by Patrick Ennis, the Global Head of Technology for Intellectual Ventures . Dr . Ennis will de-scribe how researchers from a variety of scientific and technical fields can optimize the value-creation chain . He will be sharing new models such as Open Innovation and Invention Capital that are necessary to successfully commercialize technology in todays challenging environment . These models have become increasingly important as the speed of technology development and adoption has accelerated such that even leading technol-ogy companies find it hard to just keep up . This presentation is an opportunity for researchers to understand the latest trends in managing valuable IP and bringing it closer to commercialization .

Leonard Hayden, the IMS2013 Technical Program Chair, and the Technical Program Committee attracted the best papers, sessions, workshops and short courses from around the world . We received over 925 papers and a large number of workshop and short course proposals . Following a rigorous review process provided by the 270 members of the Technical Paper Review Committee with 40 subcommittees, the Technical Program Com-mittee has crafted an excellent program . Topics include circuit theory, passive components, active components, systems and applications, and emerging technologies .

The Student Paper Competition, Student Design Competition and Graduate Student Challenge are organized to highlight the outstanding contributions of the new generation of researchers from our academic community . These activities have always at-tracted large crowds in the technical sessions, interactive forums and special presentations .

Our closing Session address will feature two speakers; Dr . David Tennenhouse, Corporate Vice President, Technology Policy, Mi-crosoft Corporation; and Michael Thorburn, Head ALMA Depart-ment of Engineering & Joint ALMA Observatory Project Manager . The Closing Session will be held at the last session of IMS on Thursday this week .

exhibition

IMS2013 hosts the worlds largest exhibition dedicated to RF and Mi-crowave technology . Visiting the exhibition is a great opportunity to get to know your suppliers and their products . Even better, spend some time in a more relaxed setting at the Industry Hosted Cocktail Reception held on the exhibition floor at 1700 on Wednesday night .

Centrally located on the exhibit floor you will find the MicroApps Theater (Booth 1443) . These commercial presentations will focus on product and service advances with relevance to the exhibi-tors in attendance . We encourage you to stop by and enjoy presentations on groundbreaking products that may suit your current or future needs .

Toms pick for what not to miss in seattle!

Seattle has so much to offer visitors . Seattle offers entertainment for all tastes, as well as great variety of restaurants and activities . My favorite picks are: for oysters on the half shell, the Brooklyn Restaurant; for beef, the Metropolitan Grill (table 43 gives one a good view of the interesting crowd theres always something going on plus they have a great happy hour); for Thai food, the Wild Ginger; for seafood the Palisade Restaurant (a taxi ride - get the king crab legs) . The Washington State Convention Center is located in the heart of the downtown area, close to all the action . Hotels are all within easy walking distance .

On Thursday night we have a special excursion planned to a renowned Pacific Northwest attraction - a traditional Northwest native salmon bake at Tillicum Village on Blake Island, a Wash-ington State Park accessible only by boat . Begin your 4-hour adventure with a narrated cruise from downtown Seattle, Pier 55 to Blake Island State Park . Upon arrival to Tillicum Village, you are greeted with steamed clams in nectar . Make your way into the longhouse and watch as whole salmon are cooked in a traditional style . Enjoy a fabulous salmon buffet meal followed by a show that highlights the Coast Salish tribes through storytelling and symbolism . Afterward, youll have free time to explore the grounds and gift shop before returning to Seattle . Bring your camera as the view of the Seattle skyline from the water during our return cruise is memorable!

Wander a little further: a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island starts on the Seattle waterfront . On a good day you will enjoy views of Se-attle, Puget Sound, the Olympic and Cascade Mountain ranges, and, of course, Mt . Rainier . Take a train to Portland, Oregon, or Vancouver, BC, both are exceptionally vibrant cities with much to see and do . Or spend a day speeding up Puget Sound on the Victoria Clipper to Victoria, BC . There, you can enjoy high tea in the Empress Hotel or tour the Butchart Gardens .

These are just a few suggestions . Our Social Program has a wide variety of interesting activities to choose from and can be found on pages 14-20 of this book .

I hope that you enjoy and take advantage of all that Seattle and Microwave Week have to offer!

The iconic Space Needle, displaying the fairs optimistic vision of a technological future, has become synonymous with Se-attle and its skyline . In 2013, the Emerald City is excited to welcome the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) for the week of June 2-7th . Nestled between the Olympic and Cascade Mountains, the Puget Sound refers to both the 100-mile region around Seattle and the salt water inlet from the Pacific Ocean . It is marked by deep lakes, rainforest, hundreds of islands reached by a large ferry boat system, and booming international businesses including Boeing, Microsoft, Expedia .com, Paccar, Nintendo of America, T-Mobile USA, Weyer-

haeuser, Costco, Starbucks, Jones Soda, Eddie Bauer, Car Toys, R .E .I ., and Alaska Airlines . Visitors enjoy the Seattle area for its natural beauty and outdoor activities, diverse dining (try the seafood!) and shopping and world-class arts, such as the Pacific Northwest Ballet, Seattle Opera, numerous theatres, and music performances at Benaroya Hall . Seattle is also known for a vigorous live music scene . Some of the famous acts from the area are Alice in Chains, Foo Fighters, Heart, Kenny G, Jimi Hendrix, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Queensryche, Sir Mix-A-Lot, and Soundgarden . The Experience Music Project, designed by architect Frank Geary and disguised as a colorful, smashed guitar, thrills locals and visitors sharing the excite-ment that is Seattles music .

With 620,778 residents estimated in 2011, Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest region of North America . The entire Seattle metropolitan area has over 3 .5 million inhabit-ants, making it the 15th largest metropolitan area in the United States . In June, average temperatures range from 70 F to the low 50s F . Although famous for its rain, Seattle in June receives less than 1-1/2 of precipitation so some light sprin-kles could be in the forecast .

The Seattle International Airport, called Sea-Tac (SEA) is Wash-ington States international airport and closest to the convention center . All major U .S . and international carriers fly into Sea-Tac . The airport is 13 miles from downtown Seattle . The drive to

downtown will take 20-30 minutes, depending on traffic . A trip to downtown Seattle from the airport on public transportation takes 30-40 minutes . The Downtown Airporter provides service from Sea-Tac to many of Seattles finer hotels . Other options including shared-van rides on Shuttle Express, taxis and limou-sine service are also available . Average cab fare from the airport downtown is $40US, not including tips . An elevated train service, Link Light Rail can whisk you to downtown Seattle in about 35 minutes, 7 days a week . At about $2 .50 a ride, it is the best deal to travel between Seattle and Sea-Tac . For visitors who decide to rent a car, hotels will charge about $20/day for parking .

Getting around

When visiting an environmentally sound city, public transportation is often the easiest and most rewarding way to get around . King County Metro can get visitors from Sea-Tac Airport to downtown in a short train ride; city buses, many of which are electric, move people around all points in the city; and theres even a monorail that ferries folks to and from Seattle Center .

Metro buses travel to nearly every corner of Seattle . They are easy to ride and offer an affordable and greener way to get around . For bus schedules and information, visit metro .kingcounty .gov, which provides bus schedules and regional trip plan-ning . Or call (206) 553-3000, 24 hours a day .

King County Water TaxiWater taxi service across Seattles Elliott Bay between Pier 50 at the foot of Yesler Way on the downtown Seattle waterfront and Seacrest dock in West Seattle . The crossing time between Pier 50 and Seacrest is approximately 10 minutes . One-way passage is $3 .50 . Operation is seasonal .

Sound TransitRegional service is available through Sound Transits pro-grams: ST Express Bus, Sounder Commuter Rail and Tacoma Link . Visit www .soundtransit .org for more information .

Central Link Light RailNew Link light rail trains now offer service from downtown Seattle to the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with eleven stops in between . Round-trip tickets from Sea-Tac International Airport to downtowns Westlake station cost $5 . Visit www .soundtransit .org for updates .

Seattle Center MonorailThe Seattle Center Monorail zips passengers between downtown Seattle and Seattle Center in about two minutes . Departures are every 10 minutes from two stations: Seattle Center station (across from the Space Needle) and Westlake Center Mall station (Fifth and Pine sts .) . Tickets are $2 each way . Hours: SundayThursday, 0830 - 2030; FridaySaturday, 0830 2300 .

StreetcarThe South Lake Union Streetcar is the first in a planned street-car network . It travels from downtowns Westlake Center to Fairview and Campus Dr . in the South Lake Union neighbor-hood, with 11 stops along the way . It runs seven days a week at 15-minute intervals during the following hours: MondayThursday, 0600 1700; FridaySaturday, 0600 2300; Sunday, 1000 1900 Fares are $2 .50 .
