December 17, 2008 Software Support That Overcomes Adversity — Jack Browne December 2008 Opportunities And Rough Times Lie Ahead Holidays are a perfect time to wind down and enjoy the small things that make life meaningful. Hopefully, most of us can take this time to enjoy the company of friends and family and be grateful for life’s blessings. In that vein, the editors of Microwaves & RF traditionally use the December issue to look back at the achievements of the past year with our list of “Top Products”. With the New Year approaching, it... — Nancy Friedrich December 4, 2008 Diversification Helps Handle Economic Blues — Jack Browne November 19, 2008 Don’t Toss Those MW Tubes Just Yet! — Jack Browne November 6, 2008 Don’t Count Out UWB Technology — Jack Browne October 23, 2008 Selling A Technology Has Never Been Easy — Jack Browne October 2008 Bluetooth Re-Invents Itself Again Bluetooth has turned out to be the “little engine that could” of wireless technology. Most folks in the wireless industry considered it an example of what happens to a technology that is overhyped. It was credited with too many capabilities too early and almost died off before it could find any winning applications. Defying expectations, though, Bluetooth did manage to find some successful niches. More than five years later, the technology continues to evolve to... — Nancy Friedrich October 9, 2008 Practicing Partnerships During Challenging Times — Jack Browne September 25, 2008 Recognizing That Daily Reliance On RF — Jack Browne September 2008 Transistors Depend On Thermal Flow Thermal management is a key phrase tossed about by solid-state amplifier designers. With the increasing power levels possible from solid-state RF devices, heat dissipation becomes a main limiting factor in the size of an amplifier, since too much heat can dramatically shorten a transistor’s lifetime. Earlier this year, for example, Freescale Semiconductor (www.freescale.com) introduced its model ... — Jack Browne September 11, 2008 Building That Perfect Web Site — Jack Browne August 21, 2008 Superconductors May Be Forgotten, But Not Gone — Jack Browne August 14, 2008 With High-Speed Requirements, MM-Wave Bands Have Appeal — Jack Browne August 2008 Software Has Become A Large Part Of The Job Software is now an essential part of our lives. Unless one is still plying a time-honored craft such as handrolling cigars, the chances are that each working day involves the use of software somewhere along the line. In an RF/microwave electronics house, for example, it may be on the production line, embedded within a pick-and-place machine that has to be supervised from time to time... — Jack Browne July 31, 2008 The Heightened Status Of Software In RF Engineering — Jack Browne July 24, 2008 There Is No Substitute For Innovative Thinking — Jack Browne 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 |
