Microwave Journal and roughly 130 exhibiting companies were in Austin during the third week of August for the 2009 IEEE EMC Symposium. Barbeque, musically-gifted engineers and that good 'ole Austin weirdness, combined with the topic of electromagnetic compatability made the event a productive and memorable one.

Green technology has the potential to drive the next generation of research and development, boosting the high-tech economy, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, lowering carbon emissions and addressing global warming. With these benefits in mind, RF-driven plasma lighting is gaining interest. The microwave light has an efficiency of more than 50 percent, compared with fluorescent tubes' efficiency of about 15% and traditional light bulbs, which emit only about 5 % of their energy conversion as light. This week we look at Ceravision Ltd., a leading innovator in this technology. Ceravision leads the RF lighting revolution>>

At last year’s IMS in Atlanta, both TriQuint and Cree rolled out competing GaN foundry services amid strong interest in the high-power RF technology. This year, RFMD took the stage to introduce their own GaN foundry services, which they did in a press conference hosted by Robert Van Buskirk, President of the company’s Multi-Market Products Group. As reported in this month’s cover story, “The New Power Brokers”, interest in GaN devices is being fueled by the high power density and high-temperature operation of these transistors.
