These rugged rectangular waveguide filters provide low-loss passbands from 27 to 86 GHz for a growing number of applications at mmWave frequencies.

Optimizing the cost and operating time for portable electronic systems running on batteries often comes down to one critical system-level parameter: efficiency.

This first article in a multi-part series on modern synthesizers describes basic phase-locked-loop operation along with various topologies.

MileTek, a manufacturer and supplier of interconnection components for military and avionics applications, has taken on Spirit Electronics as its value-added distributor.

A broken-heart-shaped microstrip patch antenna provides frequency coverage suitable for UWB applications from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz.

Growing reliance on electronic devices in industrial and commercial applications is fueling the use of RF energy harvesting as a source of power.

To demonstrate the performance of 3D-printed plastic waveguide components at V-band frequencies, two prototypes manufactured using 3D-printing technology were examined.

By using smart antennas, IoT devices can gain the most benefits from operating on a cellular communications network, such as 4G LTE or 5G, especially for demanding situations.

The third installment of this series focuses in on microstrip antenna arrays, with analysis of both four-element and two-×-two arrays.

Qualcomm, the largest supplier of modem chips used in mobile devices, introduced the X50 modem in 2016 to connect smartphones to 5G networks, which are expected to be 10 to 100 times faster than current LTE technology. But as it attempts to move...
