The Technical University of Munich is dedicating a lecture hall to Dr. Lothar Rohde, which will honor the pioneer of radio frequency engineering on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Not only was Dr. Rohde founder of Rohde & Schwarz together with Dr. Hermann Schwarz in Munich in 1933,...

Pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistors (PHEMT) have shown excellent microwave and noise performance and are very attractive for millimeter-wave and optoelectronic applications. The complete characterization of these devices, in terms of noise and scattering parameters, is necessary for computer-aided design (CAD) of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMIC) or optoelectronic...

The development of 3G services is requiring a constant increase in network capacity from the mobile operator. Dense access microwave networks, in terms of links per square kilometer and spectrum occupancy, are needed to connect UMTS nodes to the core network. Any introduction of a new link or any...

Analysis performed with traditional electromagnetic-field software might give a good sense of the operation of a microwave component from the perspective of pure electromagnetics under ideal conditions. Real-world operating conditions are not ideal, however, and the physical phenomena that affect a component’s performance often go beyond electromagnetics alone—effects from...

Most of today’s wireless applications call for a reduction in the physical size and an increase in the functionality of RF and microwave components, forcing designers to adopt a host of new materials and structures. These densely packed circuits present a number of engineering challenges from increased electromagnetic coupling...

The growing trend toward the use of smaller components in high-end microwave applications is being driven fervently by end-user demand for easier mobility and serviceability of equipment. Within the military realm especially, tactical agility in the field correlates directly to the use of certain types of equipment that are...
