"We could not have hoped for a better start to European Microwave Week,” Professor Chris Snowden, EuMW chairman, exclusively told the EuMW Online News Service . He added, "The Week is benefiting from record advance registration in all areas – the conference and the workshops, together with record numbers...

Today’s modern vector network analyzers (VNA) are the product of evolutionary advances in technology that literally span decades — a marrying of the latest developments in microwave, integrated circuit and software technologies. To a great extent, the precise nature of vector network analysis results from its highly developed calibration...

WiMAX, which offers high speed data access to large geographical areas — covering distances up to 30 km — is defined by the IEEE 802.16 family of standards. It uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to attain the high data rates. Consequently, the composite signal envelopes of the data...

A novel defected microstrip structure (DMS), which behaves in a way similar to the known defected ground structure (DGS) unit cell, 1–10 is studied in this article. The unit DMS 3,4 is made by etching slots in the microstrip line, which then exhibits the property of rejecting microwaves at...

Next-generation mobile phones are capable of downloading music and video programming, displaying global positioning system (GPS) mapping and sharing high resolution photographs. These new applications are becoming increasingly popular as teenagers and others learn to manipulate photo and music files. Applications involving heavy display usage (such as mobile television)...

Today’s transmitters for earth imaging micro-satellite systems demand higher communication quality and higher data rates to be capable of transmitting pictures or data with an appropriate quality, a higher frequency of operation and more channels per unit bandwidth. Low power consumption and small size are also required for this...

MTI Wireless Edge , a leader in the development, production and marketing of high quality, low cost, flat panel antennas for fixed wireless and RFID applications, announces the availability of its new ultra low cost omni directional antennas in the ISM bands.
