July 2008 Observations From The 2008 Atlanta MTT-S Microwave engineers (and even those who write about the industry) often use the annual IEEE Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (MTT-S) symposium and exhibition, otherwise known as the International Microwave Symposium (IMS), as the equivalent of “halftime” at a sporting event. It is a time to pause and ponder about the first half of the year. And it is an opportunity to take a peek at what competitors are doing, since many companies use the midyear MTT-S as... — Jack Browne July 10, 2008 Making It Cheaper Doesn't Always Make It Better — Jack Browne June 26, 2008 Attracting New Blood To An Aging Industry — Jack Browne June 19, 2008 Catching Up After That Week At the MTT-S — Jack Browne June 2008 Students Abroad Also Spurn Science It is widely acknowledged that US engineering companies are attracting more international than homegrown talent. The problem is that less and less US-born students are going into engineering-related fields. In fact, they are less inclined to study mathematics and science in general. This issue has largely been blamed on our education system. When it was recognized decades ago that fewer students were continuing in math and science, many argued that there should have... — Nancy Friedrich June 12, 2008 Making The Most Of The Atlanta MTT-S — Jack Browne May 29, 2008 The Simplicity And Power Of USB Compatibility — Jack Browne May 22, 2008 The Coming Of Mobile WiMAX — Jack Browne May 15, 2008 Striving For Wireless Device Co-Existence — Jack Browne May 2008 Making A Mid-Year Assessment At IMS Atlanta, GA is home to this year’s Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (MTT-S) symposium and exhibition, popularly known as the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) or Microwave Week. In many ways, it is a “microwave week,” since the event literally takes a slice from many people’s schedules and gathers together an interesting combination of RF/microwave industry representatives, including friends and enemies. It is a week that “stops the world” and allows colleagues to... — Jack Browne May 5, 2008 Awaiting The Year Of The Femtocell — Jack Browne April 24, 2008 Accelerating The Time To Market — Jack Browne April 2008 WiMAX May Not Live Up To The Hype WiMAX broadband-access technology might not be able to deliver on its promises after all. The broadband technology, in both fixed and mobile forms, has been billed as the ultimate vehicle for last-mile services. Mobile WiMAX was certain to be deployed in hard-to-reach rural areas. Nobly, it also would provide a communications jumpstart in emerging markets like Africa. At the end of March, however, the Australian edition of Communications Day (... — Nancy Friedrich April 10, 2008 Are GaN Devices Ready To Go? — Jack Browne March 27, 2008 Will Two Motorolas Be Better Than One? — Jack Browne March Making Better Microwave Materials Microwave materials form the foundations for almost all high-frequency circuits and systems. Although they are often treated as commodity items, such as the FR-4 printed-circuit boards (PCBs) that are a “necessary evil” required for holding delicate metallized circuit traces and components, advances in microwave materials are as essential to the future of this industry as research and development in test equipment or semiconductor devices. In fact, without improved... — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 EM Simulators Have Become Mainstream Tools — Jack Browne February 21, 2008 Fine Tuning Those Microwave Materials — Jack Browne February Prepare For The Worst, But Expect The Best With the bubble bursting in the home market, talk of a recession is everywhere. Remembering the telecom burst of the not-too-distant past, it is easy for people in the microwaves industry to get concerned. During that downturn, microwave companies did suffer tough losses of both profits and personnel. Yet few were wounded deeply enough to not be able to perform well in their areas of expertise. By concentrating on their strengths and focusing on relationships with ... — Nancy Friedrich February 7, 2008 Is WiMAX Really The Next Great (Wireless) Thing? — Jack Browne  prev. page
