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 […]
The IEEE Young Professionals Montreal section and IEEE Montreal Industry Relations co-organized an IEEE Multi-Generation Collaboration on Thursday, November 24th, 2016 at the McConnell engineering building at McGill University. Over 60 participants, coming from different disciplines and age groups, took part in the event of three sessions with frequent networking breaks and refreshments. Keynote Speakers […]
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 […]
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 […]
Tushar Sharma has been an avid IEEE volunteer for the past eight years. He made outstanding efforts to promote young professional member engagement and development by promoting IEEE MGA goals and strategies through activities and programs at the society, section, chapter and region levels. Currently, he serves as the Chair of IEEE Young Professionals¹ Southern […]
LAMC in Puerto Vallarta, new submission deadline: Aug. 29 LAMC-2016 is the First IEEE MTT-S Latin America Microwave Conference (LAMC), to be held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in Dec. 12-14, 2016 (www.lamc-ieee.org). LAMC is an international forum dedicated to in-depth scientific and technological discussions on a broad set of fields related to RF and microwave […]
On July 27-29, 2016, the 2016 IEEE MTT-S International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic and Multiphysics Modeling and Optimization (NEMO) (http://nemo-ieee.org) was held in Beijing, China. NEMO is a new annual focal event on electromagnetic- and multiphysics-based computer-aided design founded by IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S). 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 […]
