SiRF 2012 - 12th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF2012)

This 12th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF2012) continues to be the only conference devoted to Si-based devices, passives, integrated circuits, and applications for high- frequency systems. Over three days, papers and sessions will highlight the significant technological advances of this dynamic field, as well as provide a unique forum for the presentation of new ideas and candid exchange on emerging challenges and opportunities. Invited tutorial talks from international experts will be presented in key topical areas. A student paper competition will be held, and prizes will be given at the conference banquet.

SiRF is part of the IEEE Radio Wireless Week (RWW), which also includes the Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS) and the IEEE Topical Conferences on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks (WiSNet), Biomedical Radio and Wireless Technologies, Networks, and Sensing Systems (BioWireleSS), and Power Amplifiers for Wireless and Radio Applications (PAWR).

We’ll continue posting updates and information about the conference on this website. Make sure you visit this website frequently to keep track with the latest news about SiRF 2012!
A New U.S. Visitors Tax Begins in September 2010:

Effective 8 September 2010, travelers entering the United States from visa-waiver countries via the newly established Electronic System for Travel Authorization program will be subject to a $14 USD fee once every two years.
