Software Configurations Focus on RF Circuit and System Design at Unmatched Price

In recent years, wireless communications have progressed very rapidly. The IEEE 802.16 Working Group has created a new standard, commonly known as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), for a low cost, broadband, wireless access at high speed, which is easy to deploy. 1 WiMAX technology can reach a...

There is an increasing demand for broadband multimedia components to satisfy the ever-increasing capacity of wireless networks. In particular, for dense local communications, the 60 GHz band for wireless personal area network (WPAN) applications is of special interest for short-range communications, due to the RF attenuation of the atmospheric...

Microstrip patches are an attractive type of antenna because of their low cost, conformability and ease of manufacture. The aperture-coupled configuration 1 also provides the advantage of isolating spurious feed radiation by using a common ground plane. The primary barrier to the implementation of these antennas in many applications,...

Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today introduced a new solder paste inspection system that enables manufacturers of printed circuit board assemblies to slash inspection time in half, without compromising capability.

The short backfire (SBF) is a highly effective aperture antenna of simple and compact construction. Basically, it consists of three elements: two parallel reflectors, large and small, spaced a half-wavelength apart, which form a leaky resonant cavity, and a cavity feed (half-wave dipole, 1–3 waveguide or horn, 4,5 or...

The wireless communication industry is developing rapidly and wireless communication products, PDAs, laptops and cell-phones are becoming a necessity of life. Communication systems need a wide frequency bandwidth to transmit and receive multimedia information at high data rates. Mobile wireless communication products must be easily portable and cheap to...

For many years, military applications have required broad bandwidth communication links, incorporating antennas that have a similar broadband capability. Often the antennas must operate over a frequency range of several octaves. Consequently, antenna structures that have multi-octave capability have been designed and manufactured and these techniques are now proving...
