EMS Technologies Inc. held a groundbreaking celebration this week for a new, 30,000-square-foot expansion of its Defense & Space Systems Division (D&SS) facilities, located in Gwinnett’s Technology Park. More than 300 employees and special guests attended the event on September 29. The expanded facility is scheduled to be completed...

Ceragon Networks Ltd. , a provider of high-capacity wireless backhaul solutions, has announced that its leading-edge wireless trunk solution, FibeAir 3200T, has been selected by a telecom operator in Eastern Africa. The solution will be used for ultra-high-capacity links that will support nationwide transmission of voice and data services....

OEwaves Inc. has been awarded a contract by UCLA to develop a wideband, high dynamic range EO resonator modulator prototype that is highly sensitive and small in size, weight and power (SWAP), ideal for high performance receiver front-end applications. OEwaves will prototype the EO resonator modulator and integrate it...

Fabless semiconductor company Lime Microsystems has joined the Femto Forum, the independent industry and operator association that supports femtocell deployment worldwide. The Forum promotes the adoption of femtocell technologies through open standards, market education and ecosystem development. Lime Microsystems’ technology is ideally suited to femtocells as its reconfigurable multi-band...

Those still undecided or putting the finishing touches to their paper submissions for the next ARMMS conference being held on Monday 24 and Tuesday 25 November 2008 at the Hotel Elizabeth near Rockingham, Northamptonshire, UK, are reminded of the imminent 3 October deadline . This two-day conference, sponsored by...

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a form of digital modulation used in a wide array of communications systems. This paper will explain what OFDM is, why it’s important, where it’s used, and what test instrumentation is required to maintain it. Perhaps we should first explain what is so...

There will be increasing need for high confidentiality, integrity, and authentication for the wide deployment of the next generation of RFID. Beside these issues, focus will also be on avoiding encryption algorithms; which require more complex modulation, to secure communication between RFID’s tags and readers. In this paper, we...

It all started with the idea of revolutionizing time measurement in motor racing, using a portable lap-timing system. After two years of research, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Heuermann and his colleague Dipl.-Ing. Kai Hanisch successfully tested their microwave transponder-based laptiming system, MicroLap. Unlike conventional systems, Microlap allows for accurate chronometry...

It is likely that femtocells and picocells will form an integrated part of the initial rollouts of Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks, say analysts at ABI Research. These cellular mini-base stations, which offer improved wireless coverage indoors, have been generating considerable interest in mobile wireless markets, and according to...
