IEEE Microwave Magazine – February 2019 The February issue of the IEEE Microwave Magazine is out! And this issue focuses on Full-Duplex technologies. Here Full-Duplex means not just transmitting and receiving information at the same time – but within the same frequency spectrum. The key to this is for a radio to sample its transmitted […]

IN MEMORIAM Tom Brazil (1952-2018) MTT-S President-Elect Dominique Schreurs writes, “It is with great sorrow that I must inform you that MTT-S President Tom Brazil passed away unexpectedly on Friday, April 13th. Funeral services will be held on April 20th in Dublin, Ireland. Let us remember him as a great mentor, an excellent leader, a […]
MEASUREMENT Time-Domain Ultra-Wideband Imaging A fully automatic time-domain measurement system for ultra-wideband microwave imaging uses a pair of movable antennas to transmit and receive. Each antenna can be independently controlled to complete a full measurement (of both incident and total field) within 20 minutes. Comparison with a frequency-sweep method shows that both methods allow for […]
ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY Antennas for an Intraoral Tongue Drive A new arch-shaped intraoral Tongue Drive System (iTDS, a tongue-controlled wireless assistive technology operated by a user-defined tongue gestures to issue control commands) occupying the buccal shelf space in the mouth, without limiting the available space for tongue motions, with the design, characterization, and comparison of three […]
Organizers: SungWon Chung, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA Hermann Boss, Rhode & Schwartz, Munich, Germany Noriaki Kaneda, Nokia Bell Labs, Murray Hill, NJ, USA This workshop overviews the recent advancements in digital pre-distortion (DPD) and digital post-correction (DPC) techniques over a broad range of spectrum from DC to mmWave. Beyond the classical […]
MESSAGE FROM 2018 PRESIDENT TOM BRAZIL “An Amazing Time for Microwaves” The remarkable communications advances we’ll see during the coming year rely on electromagnetic energy in the RV, microwave, mm-wave, and terahertz bands. The coming of 5G will mean mm-waves everywhere, and we may even cut some power cables to harness wireless power transfer. This […]
Submit papers by 18 February for the Power Transfer Conference (WPTC2018), running 3-7 June in Montreal with the Workshop on Emerging Technologies: Wireless Power (WoW), and the Wireless Power Congress (WPC). Read more
A new method combining terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) with metamaterials detects concentrations of the pesticide carbendazim as low as 5 mg/L, sensitivity about 4 orders of magnitude better than squash THz-TDS. Read more
Development of a synthesizer to support planetary science instrumentation using a CMOS system-on-chip to deliver at least 10 microwatts across the 177–205 GHz lock range while consuming 249 mW of dc power. Read more
The remarkable communications advances we’ll see during the coming year rely on electromagnetic energy in the RV, microwave, mm-wave, and terahertz bands. The coming of 5G will mean mm-waves everywhere, and we may even cut some power cables to harness wireless power transfer. This year’s IMS in Philadelphia will feature state-of-the-art research and the largest […]
KT Corp. (formerly Korea Telecom), the 2018 Winter Olympics Games’ official sponsor, has announced plans for the first big test run of networking technologies that could herald peak download rates up to 100 times as fast as today’s 4G systems, with delays as low as 1 millisecond. KT’s competitors SK Telecom and LG U+ are […]
THZ Imaging Human Corneas In Vivo Two papers from UCLA outline optical design and prototype development and evaluation of a new system of reflection-mode terahertz imaging for early, accurate, non-contact detection and study of corneal diseases in humans. The system reveals corneal-tissue water content and geometry while avoiding the problems caused by direct contact with […]
5G Power, Linearity, and Efficiency Prediction for MIMO Arrays Since MIMO array elements are electromagnetically coupled, the waves fed to the antennas also drive the power amplifier (PA) output ports, creating an apparent variable load at each PA output. Simulation is a powerful tool in understanding how these MIMO systems behave. Such simulators should be […]
