Event: MEMSWave and RF Cluster Meeting Location: Technical University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain Speaker: John Clark, Staff Engineer, Discera MEMSWave Topic: Vibrating RF MEMS - Oscillators and Beyond at MEMSWave Date/Time: Wed., June 27, 9:00 - 9:20 a.m. Cluster Meeting Topic: RF-MEMS research and industrial status and perspectives in the U.S. Date/Time: Fri., June 29, 9:00 a.m.About Discera Discera is a fabless analog semiconductor company that offers tiny, high performance silicon resonators for the frequency and timing control markets. These resonators act as the heartbeat or pulse for a variety of devices from consumer products such as cameras and MP3 players to specialized equipment for the military. The company's PureSilicon™ resonator technology is a fundamental building block that offers, according to Semico Research, "a better mousetrap" for creating fully integrated, low cost, small form factor wireline and wireless products, such as oscillators, filters, and RF components. Unlike crystal based oscillators, Discera's PureSilicon™ based CMOS oscillators can be integrated into other CMOS-based circuits. Founded in 2001 and headquartered in San Jose, California, Discera is a privately held company with investments from Ardesta, Partech, 3i, Qualcomm Ventures, Horizon Ventures, and Scale Ventures.
