May 5, 2008 Awaiting The Year Of The Femtocell — Jack Browne April 24, 2008 Accelerating The Time To Market — Jack Browne April 2008 WiMAX May Not Live Up To The Hype WiMAX broadband-access technology might not be able to deliver on its promises after all. The broadband technology, in both fixed and mobile forms, has been billed as the ultimate vehicle for last-mile services. Mobile WiMAX was certain to be deployed in hard-to-reach rural areas. Nobly, it also would provide a communications jumpstart in emerging markets like Africa. At the end of March, however, the Australian edition of Communications Day (... — Nancy Friedrich April 10, 2008 Are GaN Devices Ready To Go? — Jack Browne March 27, 2008 Will Two Motorolas Be Better Than One? — Jack Browne March Making Better Microwave Materials Microwave materials form the foundations for almost all high-frequency circuits and systems. Although they are often treated as commodity items, such as the FR-4 printed-circuit boards (PCBs) that are a “necessary evil” required for holding delicate metallized circuit traces and components, advances in microwave materials are as essential to the future of this industry as research and development in test equipment or semiconductor devices. In fact, without improved... — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 EM Simulators Have Become Mainstream Tools — Jack Browne February 21, 2008 Fine Tuning Those Microwave Materials — Jack Browne February Prepare For The Worst, But Expect The Best With the bubble bursting in the home market, talk of a recession is everywhere. Remembering the telecom burst of the not-too-distant past, it is easy for people in the microwaves industry to get concerned. During that downturn, microwave companies did suffer tough losses of both profits and personnel. Yet few were wounded deeply enough to not be able to perform well in their areas of expertise. By concentrating on their strengths and focusing on relationships with ... — Nancy Friedrich February 7, 2008 Is WiMAX Really The Next Great (Wireless) Thing? — Jack Browne January 24, 2008 January 24, 2007 — Jack Browne December 2007 Tracking A Changing Industry For many, the hustle and bustle of the holidays coincide with some enjoyable days at home as they take those last vacation days. Taking such time makes people prioritize what work needs to get done before the holidays and what new projects await their return. Here at Microwaves & RF, December is a time to reflect on the most significant happenings in the microwave industry over the past 12 months. To recognize some of this year's key innovations, for example, we... — Nancy Friedrich November 2007 The Year That Has Come And Gone What happened to the rest of the year, you might be wondering? Why write a retrospective editorial in a November magazine? Time is very subjective, and it has been said by many much wiser (and older) than this writer that time seems to pass more quickly the older one gets. As engineers, of course, we understand that, empirically, this is nonsense. Time is simply what we measure it to be, whether in units as small as picoseconds or as long as years or the proverbial... — Jack Browne November 2007 Incorrect Figure FIGURE 2 in "Wireless Laboratory Aids Students And Research" by Hüseyin Arslan (October 2007, p. 59) was incorrect. The figure has been corrected for the online version. The corrected figure can be found on the Microwaves & RF website at http://mwrf.com//files/ 30/17222/Figure_02.jpg. We apologize the author and to our readers for the error. The... — The Editors of Microwaves & RF October 2007 Combine Resources To Increase Reach Oftentimes, an individual or a small company is better able to foresee an industry’s future needs than larger organizations. It also is small and agile enough to properly prepare to satisfy those needs. The electronicdesign- automation (EDA) industry, for example, has survived and flourished mostly because the bigger companies acquired and therefore expanded startups that were working on what would be needed next. In any industry, however, such acquisitions are often looked... — Nancy Friedrich September 2007 Wireless Adoption Surges Despite Fears About a year ago, I received a phone call from a man who was looking for backup material for his son's science-fair project. The project asserted that exposure to a wireless local-area network (WLAN) would prevent living things from flourishing. The student had set up a wireless network in his home and then bought two of the same plants in seemingly identical condition. He placed one in an anechoic chamber while the other one was left in the open right next to it.... — Nancy Friedrich August 23, 2007 Software On The Go — Jack Browne August 23, 2007 August 23, 2007 Newsletter August 23, 2007 Newsletter — Jack Browne August 2007 Living Life Like A Microwave Legend Microwave Legends are made, not born. This year, the list of notable people, places, and things that have made their contributions to this industry has grown through the addition of five outstanding figures (see "Microwave Legends"). Each lived life with energy and conviction, sharing ideas and advances that would influence the rest of the industry for years to come. But one name not on that list, which may make its way... — Jack Browne July 2007 Hawaii Gets A Thumbs Up After All When the Honolulu, Hawaii location for this year's Microwave Theory and Techniques Symposium (MTT-S) was revealed some years ago, people reacted with both anticipation and disbelief. Among the folks with whom I spoke, there seemed to generally be a positive, excitement-filled reaction. As 2007 got closer, however, some companies vowed that they would not exhibit if the society stuck to the Hawaii location. In addition, rumors were widely circulated that the location had... — Nancy Friedrich  prev. page
