Katie Huang joins the Microwave Journal editorial staff as the Managing Editor of Microwave Journal China edition. Operating from Beijing, Huang will be responsible for translating technical features from international companies into simplified Chinese as well as collecting China specific news, events, interviews with in-country executives and other unique...

Radio frequency micro-structured inductors are currently being developed to optimize the transmission and filtering features for microwave applications like RFIDs, radars, satellite communications and medical sensors. This technology is also of interest for the next generation wireless communication devices and biomedical instruments. To fulfill these requirements, different design techniques...

Thermal management in microwave printed-circuit boards (PCB) is more important than ever, with the growing demand for higher levels of circuit integration and PCB power densities. Understanding proper thermal management of a microwave PCB requires some basic theory regarding heat flow in a PCB, as well as the thermal...

Current advances in modern wireless communication systems have created the demand for smaller, more reliable and low cost microwave components. Meanwhile, many communication systems operate in dual-bands, which necessitate complicated technologies to realize such components. Dual-wideband bandpass filters (BPF) are one of the most popular components increasingly investigated in...

The diplexer, commonly used to make receiving and transmitting share a common antenna, is an essential three-port device and typically consists of several bandpass (BPF) and bandstop (BSF) filters. Consequently, the performance of the BPF determines the comprehensive performance of the diplexer to a great extent. However, with recent...

RF and microwave switches based on PIN diodes or GaAs FETs have been key microwave design components for decades, with each type establishing itself in specific applications based on its inherent characteristics. In short, GaAs FETs offer fast switching speed and can operate down to DC, but can handle...
