Nearly two centuries after Doctor Frankenstein – the fervent young man in Mary Shelley’s gothic novel – proclaimed that he would walk through the footsteps of earlier scientists in bringing his creature to life, wireless engineers are taking a si...

Measurements are an essential part of any design process, but they become challenging in the millimeter-wave range, especially when attempting to connect test gear to a device under test (DUT). For that reason, W. L. Gore & Associates have...

The 2016 IMS exhibition floor provides an opportunity to assess the current state of the art in many different high-frequency technologies, including high-power semiconductors, such as gallium nitride (GaN) pulsed transistors. Claiming the highest...

As bandwidth is devoured by an increasing wireless communications of voice, data, and video, communications network developers seek new solutions in the form of Fifth Generation (5G) cellular communications systems. One wideband radio integrated...

Armed with new software from Keysight Technologies, engineers will have the ability to test antenna arrays that employ algorithms to shoot wireless signals in specific directions. Keysight will include the new tool in the latest version of its po...

For a long time, cooking meals with solid-state radio waves seemed little more than a parlor trick to display new wireless power amplifiers. That was until Freescale built a concept oven and offered to license the radio emitters inside to applian...

From two young engineers forming Intel nearly fifty years ago, to software programmers at Facebook leaving to build a question-and-answer website, the story of Silicon Valley is largely the story of engineers leaving large corporations to strike ...
