The 2012 IEEE Radio and Wireless Week (RWW2012) will be held during the week of January 15, 2012 in Santa Clara, CA. During RWW there are multiple conferences touching on the intersection between radio systems and wireless technology and applications, which creates unique forums for engineers to discuss hardware design and system performance of the state-of-the-art wireless systems. In addition to oral presentations and posters, RWW 2012 includes workshops, panels and an exhibition. This year, a new demo track will be held to provide an interactive forum for hands-on demonstration of latest wireless experiments and innovations.

*** SiRF2012 ***
continues to be the only conference devoted to Si-based devices, passives, integrated circuits, and applications for high frequency systems. Over three days of the conference, 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. Our popular single session format will further allow active interactions between all participants. Invited
tutorial talks from international experts will provide overviews of related key topical areas, and a best student paper competition will be held to promote contribution from academia. For more details on the conference, visit: http://www.silicon-rf.org/sirf2012.
Technical papers related to, but not limited to, following areas are solicited:

- Materials, Devices, IC Technologies, Circuits, Passives, MEMS/NEMS
- Reliability Issues
- Measurement and Modeling
- Applications
- Si photonics
- Nanoscale microwave
