Optimize Testing Of Multi-Standard-Radio Devices
With a single multi standard radio (MSR) base station unit now able to transmit GSM, WCDMA, and LTE multiple carriers simultaneously, the accurate and efficient testing of those MSR base station transmitter devices has become critical to their success.
Develop Software For Radios In Space
Researchers have an opportunity to develop software according to the STRS architecture for radios for a new, flexible testbed on the International Space Station while reconfiguring how the radios communicate on-orbit.
DARPA GaN Contracts Go Head To Head
This work in Near Junction Thermal Transport (NJTT) is expected to set the stage for substantial MMIC performance enhancements including reduced size, weight, and power consumption.
Control Lights From Afar
As the demand for remote control of lighting rises, shipments of RF-embedded light bulbs and their associated remote controllers will climb.
Synthesizer Consumes 400 μW To Support ISM
In this paper, several design techniques are presented that may overcome the challenges in the design of 0.5-V, ultra-low-power frequency synthesizers for implantable medical devices.
MM-Wave Receiver Precisely Detects AOA
A millimeter-wave IC angle of arrival detector and six-port radar receiver front end has been developed and characterized on wafer, covering 75 to 100 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of at least 9 GHz.
X-Band Antenna Arrays Enrich RHCP
To minimize radiation loss for long-distance communication, SIW-based antenna arrays have been employed while sequential feeding is adopted to enhance RHCP characteristics.
Video Travels Easily Between Devices
Smartphones have become essential tools to many consumers—acting as a phone, camera, e-mail provider, schedule-keeper, and social-media enabler, among other things. Given that consumers are increasingly using their smartphones to take photos and videos, it is only natural that they should be enabled to easily share them with an audience via a bigger screen.
Missile Defense Succeeds From Sea
Missile defense systems must identify and respond to incoming threats in a short amount of time. Although they have reached great heights, US missile-defense efforts have thus far been contained to land. Recently, however, a US Army and Navy test demonstrated that Raytheon Co.’s Joint Land Attack/Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensors (JLENS) can integrate with the defensive systems currently in the Navy’s inventory.
