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 […]
Mr. Mehmet Parlak, please tell us a little about yourself, your work at Broadcom, your interest areas? I did my bachelor’s degree at Middle East Technical University, Ankara which had a significant impact in my engineering career. Following my degree, I started my M.Sc. in TU Munich, and then decided to continue for a PhD […]
The Israel Young Professionals affinity group was established in April, 2016. The importance of the new group is clear: Israel is a major technological hub with a significant number of high-quality engineers who, until now, have been without official representation in IEEE. Despite the fact that the YP group is still in its infancy, the […]
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 […]

NEMO rotates around the globe very three years, […]
Dear MTT-S Members and Colleagues, As you probably know, the IEEE Annual Election has begun on 15 August. The referendum on the Proposed Constitutional Amendment) will be an important question on this year’s ballot. This issue has been hotly debated and rejected by an overwhelming majority of the IEEE Societies/Councils (25 to 1) and IEEE […]
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 […]
NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER’S HAM RADIO When cell phones, internet and other modern systems of communications are down or overloaded, Amateur Radio can still get the message through. Radio amateurs, often known as “hams”, enjoy radio technology as a hobby and as a vital service that has saved lives when regular communication systems failed. Whether it […]
