Workshop Background This workshop, the fourth in a series, aims to address the status of millimeterwave devices for automotive radar sensors and what is required to drive their costs down to achieve consumer acceptable price levels. Since the last workshop in October 2004, significant changes have been and are taking place in this equipment sector. Firstly, the FCC has endorsed changes in the use of the 76-81 bands as well as the 24 GHz band allocations for this application although the extent to which these will encourage a commitment to each of the bands worldwide is still subject to question. As many as 10 short range radar sensors will be needed for future vehicles. This workshop will address the implications of these changes for the automotive markets, technology and equipment and will explore ways, both business and technological, to stimulate lowering the costs and increasing the volumes of the sensors. Automakers continue to look for low cost solutions which can survive the very stringent demands of electronics at such high frequencies. A key element of this is the availability of low cost millimeterwave semiconductors and integration and packaging technologies. If your business is anywhere in the supply chain for future millimeterwave automotive or communications applications, you MUST actively participate in this unique IWPC Interactive Technical Workshop. |
||
Workshop Goal The GOAL of this workshop, is to bring together senior leaders from THE ENTIRE SUPPLY CHAIN to facilitate and stimulate breakthrough thinking on emerging technologies and manufacturing methods which, when coupled with market needs and timings, and key system cost drivers, can substantially drive down the cost of the equipment needed for millimeterwave automotive radars. In short, the goal of this workshop is to create an open, interactive environment, where the entire supply chain can communicate, network, share technology requirements and capabilities, and achieve mutually desired goals. |
