Published Tuesday, April 15, 2008 | Last Update 4.15.08 Here are your replies to the April Expert Advice column Dan Nehring - VP of Engineering, Valpey Fisher Corporation. Oscillators are like cars. Some are powerful, sleek (expensive) performers, some are just economy clunkers (clockers), and most are in between....

In this article the use of cross monopole antennas is discussed. These antennas are known for their wide impedance bandwidth and good omni-directional radiation pattern. A novel dual-band-rejected design for cross semi-elliptic monopole antenna is proposed and experimentally studied. The proposed antenna consists of an ultra-wideband cross semi-elliptic monopole...

1. Introduction As wireless carriers start to move towards 4G mobile technology, it is placing huge demands on their backhaul infrastructure. The multiple, high-bandwidth, quality-sensitive services that carriers have planned for 4G technology requires an infrastructure that is packet-based, scalable and resilient, as well as cost-effective to install, operate...

I. INTRODUCTION The integrity of shielding enclosures is compromised by apertures and seams required for heat dissipation, cable penetration, and modular construction, among other possibilities [1]. These perforations allow energy to be radiated to the external environment from interior electronics, or energy coupled from the exterior to interfere with...
