CARTS Europe 2008: One of a Kind

In its 22nd year, CARTS Europe 2008, 20–23 October in Helsinki, Finland, promises to be more dynamic than ever, addressing the technologies, applications and issues driving the passive components industry today and tomorrow. This year's conference has technical papers from leading engineers in Europe and around the world on more than 33 topics. Here is a sampling:

• high-voltage tantalum polymer capacitors
• broadband filters for 24GHz applications with LTCC technology
• antenna design for multiband WiMax applications
• electrolytic film designs for automotive and high-temperature applications
• thermal design of power MLCCs
• equivalent circuit models for passives
• DC link capacitors for industrial applications
• various AC/DC converter applications and considerations
• flexible termination and reliability in stringent environments
• soft termination for MLCCs
• and more (see Conference Program above)

Tuesday Keynote

With CARTS Europe 2008 being held in Finland, it makes sense that we’d call upon top managers from a Finnish company that’s a worldwide leader in a critical passive components market to keynote the conference: T. Suorsa and S. Vesala of Nokia Siemens Networks in Espoo, just outside of Helsinki, will present “Passive Component Manufacturers in a Rapidly Changing Telecommunication World.”

Monday Seminars

This year’s technical seminar focuses on a topic that is hovering in everybody’s mind and is set to burst into the components market in a big way: embedded passives.

Attendees at CARTS Europe 2008 will be able to tap into the ultimate source for marketing information and forecasts: Dennis Zogbi of Paumanok Publications.

Special Tutorials

Capacitors and resistors are always of interest to designers, component engineers and others. Two tutorials at CARTS Europe 2008 will provide overviews in these key areas: “Discrete Resistor Technologies and Potential Future Advancement” and “Special Capacitor Application Considerations.”
