Summary
High frequency electronics in the frequency range of 1 –100 GHz is the basis for many important industrial applications in radio communication, mobile telephony, optic fibre communication, radar and sensor systems. Swedish industry has a strong position in these fields. New industries can be created for new types of components, for instance for microwave ovens and short-range communication links. The research programme provides the foundation for ensuring that Swedish industry remains at the cutting edge of technology for future wireless communication systems, sensor systems and new consumer products. In the programme, research is carried out in semiconductor transistors, monolithic circuits and new components and materials as well as in construction methods for electronics.
