MEDIA ADVISORY, Oct. 1, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) --
WHAT: Wavestream Corporation vice president of marketing Heidi
Thelander will address spatially power-combined solid-
state approaches to high-powered applications during her
discussion, "Shrinking the Size and Cost of High Power at
Ka-Band with PowerStream Grid Amplifier" at the 10th
Annual Ka and Broadband Communications Conference Sept.
30-Oct. 2, 2004 in Vicenza, Italy.
Highly regarded in the millimeter and microwave
technology industry, Thelander will address how Ka-band
communication systems can take advantage of the
significant millimeter-wave frequency spectrum available
to offer higher data rates. Thelander will also discuss
Wavestream's recent accomplishments, including test
results for a spatially combined Grid Amplifier
providing 15 Watts of saturated power from 30-31 GHz.
WHO: Heidi Thelander joined Wavestream from Centerpoint
Broadband Technologies, where she performed the entire
range of marketing functions for a fast-paced
telecommunications equipment start-up. She was
formerly a strategic business manager for Lockheed
Martin Western Development Laboratories and a product
line manager for commercial Ka-band wideband
communication systems at TRW. Thelander also served
as a system engineering team leader, section head and
lead system engineer, also at TRW. She earned a
master's of science degree in electrical engineering
for communication systems from the University of
Southern California and a bachelor's degree from
Marquette University.
Wavestream Corporation (www.wavestreamcorp.com) designs
and manufactures high-power solid-state millimeter-wave
amplifiers for defense, commercial satellite
communications and terrestrial applications.
Wavestream solves today's power-combining issues
through its patented Grid Amplifier products, which
spatially combine the outputs of a large number of
transistors on a single chip, enabling transistor
arrays to radiate output power into a free space beam
with very low loss combining.
