Schreurs , K.U.Leuven, Belgium 16:00 - 18:30 This informal discussion group is devoted to sharing information and issues related to instrumentation utilized in vector large-signal network analysis of microwave circuits and systems that contain non-linear elements. The purpose of the meeting is to exchange opinions and ideas on developments in this research field. While interactive discussion is the focus of the meeting, a limited number of research groups are given the opportunity to present their latest achievements. This is followed by a short, interactive discussion on a selected Ph.D. research topic, where problems encountered by the student may be discussed informally. Finally, researchers have the possibility to show small demos of (mainly software) tools that they developed in-house. Short announcements of interest are also communicated during this time. The discussion topics will be chosen in accordance to preferences that will be expressed at the 4th NVNA Users’ Forum, scheduled during the IMS2004 week in June 2004 and organised in connection to the Spring ARFTG 2004 conference. 05 mins: Introductions 25 mins: Discussion topic 1 25 mins: Discussion topic 2 25 mins: Research updates from 5 groups 15 mins: Discussion of Ph.D. research in one area 25 mins: Demos, announcements and open discussion EuMC05 Room: N1+O1 Electromagnetic Analysis and Synthesis Chairperson: A.G.
