Ana Belén Amado Rey began to do her PhD at Fraunhofer IAF in February 2014, a research institute in Freiburg, Germany. Her research focused on the design of sub-millimeter wave integrated power amplifiers (at frequencies between 200 GHz and 300 GHz) for high resolution imaging and communication (radars) applications. “At the beginning, it was not […]
A SNEAK PEEK INTO LAMC 2016 LATIN AMERICA’S FIRST MICROWAVE CONFERENCE ORGANIZED BY IEEE MTT-S We have come a long way since that early morning call on 15th April 1912, when a high-pitched musical tone sang out for hundreds of miles across the North Atlantic in a desperate plea for help as The White Star […]
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 […]
An entrepreneur with the intention of uplifting society? Meet Dr. Quenton Bonds, an entrepreneur, educator, NASA engineer and the founder of Accelerated Density. Growing up in a disadvantaged and, at times, dangerous environment, young Quenton developed a maturity that sparked a meaning for his existence. He decided to abstain from the habits prevalent in his […]
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 […]
