THE FIRST SYMPOSIUM sponsored and financed by, and designated as the Annual Meeting of the Professional Group on Microwave Theory and Techniques of the Institute of Radio Engineers, was held at the Western Union Auditorium in New York City on May 9 and 10, 1957. However, from the formation...

Modern complex modulation schemes have the disadvantage of requiring linear power amplification characteristics, which compromises overall system efficiency because RF power amplifiers (RFPA) are much less efficient when operating in the linear region than they are at maximum power. The power amplifier and its associated components consume up to...

ABSTRACT This paper presents design, simulation and test results of a modified corporate type Wilkinson power divider / combiner in microstrip configuration where all the λ/4 branch line impedances have equal characteristic impedances (Z o ) instead of conventionally used π2Z . Electronic Band Gap (EBG) structure employed by...

Motorola’s Board of Directors has commenced a process to create two independent, publicly-traded companies. The move follows evaluation of the structural and strategic realignment of the company’s businesses and represents affirmative steps to position its Mobile Devices and Broadband & Mobility Solutions businesses for success, while creating value for...

Research organizations TNO (the Netherlands) and SINTEF (Norway) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop and market their joint services in a number of fields of technology. The agreement was signed by Tini Colijn, member of the TNO Board of Management, and Unni M. Steinsmo, president and...

Test equipment manufacturers are constantly challenged to develop new solutions for testing their customers’ latest devices, but they’ve traditionally developed specialized hardware to meet this challenge. The communications market is still more challenging due to the rapid development of new standards, which often require new stimulus and measurement capabilities....

ANSYS and Ansoft Corp. have signed a definitive agreement whereby ANSYS will acquire Ansoft for a purchase price of approximately $832 M in a mix of cash and ANSYS common stock. Under the terms of the agreement, which was unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies,...
