Message from President Ke Wu Time to Renew, Time to Expand Have you renewed your IEEE/MTT-S membership? If you have, I thank you for your loyalty to MTT-S. If not, you can easily renew on-line. You can also help MTT-S by recruiting friends and colleagues as new members of our Society. We have been working […]
Proof-of-Concept Demonstration of Vector Beam Pattern Measurements of Kinetic Inductance Detectors An international team of researchers from the U.S., the Netherlands, and Japan presents the first vector beam pattern measurement of microwave kinetic inductance detectors (MKIDs). The method should facilitate vector beam pattern measurements using direct detectors, reducing systematic error and allowing near-field as well […]
RFID Perfect Isolation: Coping with Self-Jamming in Passive RFID Systems Passive RF identification readers transmit a continuous-wave signal to remotely power up batteryless transponders. At the same time, they receive a backscattered signal at the same frequency. Strong continuous-wave signals can leak into the receiver, drowning out backscattered signals. Fixing the problem requires high-dynamic-range capability […]
THZ TECHNOLOGY Wireless Transmission at up to 60-Gb/s in the 400-GHz Range Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark, with colleagues from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University, moved frontiers of optoelectronic transmission past the 300 GHz range by demonstrating scalable data transmission of Nyquist quadrature phase-shift keying signals at 60 gigabits per second […]
TECHNOLOGY China Launches First Quantum Communications Satellite The first spacecraft designed to perform quantum communications was launched from the China’s Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on 16 August at 1:40 a.m. local time. The mission, dubbed Quantum Experiments at Space Scale (QUESS), is a milestone for researchers building the technology needed to create unhackable large-scale quantum […]
Full-Duplex Chip Will Create a Wireless Bandwidth Bonanza Today’s radio technology has almost nothing in common with its counterpart from a century ago. Countless advances have produced gear that is fantastically smaller, more reliable, and more efficient in its use of power and bandwidth. And yet, one enormous limitation remains from long ago: Radios still […]
SOCIETY Understanding MTT-S’s Worldwide Member and Geographic Activities Today, MTT-S has some 200 chapters in every part of the world. These may be Single Society, Joint Society, Technical Council, or Student Branch Chapters. The 36-member MTT-S Member and Geographic Activities committee helps form and support these chapters and promotes membership in the Society as a […]
