The requirements for higher and higher data rates and the saturation of existing frequencies and networks are pushing applications higher and higher in frequency. This is true for both the "traditional" frequency bands around 38 GHz, but also at frequencies higher than 40 GHz. This movement has been consolidated...

In recent years, advances within two fields have had a major impact on how filters are designed today. One is the advent of powerful electromagnetic (EM) software, which provides results that are close to measurements. However, analysis and optimization of complete filters is often too resource and time consuming...

Blogging: My first experience at blogging came with an invitation from editor David Vye to contribute a guest blog on the Microwave Journal website. It was like a jump into the deep end of the pool! I had never blogged prior and certainly not imagined such a prominent place...

Figure 1 Basic components of a transceiver front end. Modern communication systems need new filters, diplexers and multiplexers to meet electrical performance, size and manufacturing cost requirements, which are difficult to achieve using classical topologies. Diplexers are widely used in communication systems for reducing mass and volume of the...

The number of mobile operators who have committed to deploy LTE advanced mobile broadband systems has more than doubled in the past year, according to the Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) as confirmed in the April 2010 update of its Evolution to LTE Report . There are now 64...

The Netherlands Defence Materiel Organization and Thales Nederland have signed a contract for the delivery and installation of an Integrated Mast that is to be installed on the Joint Logistic Support Ship (JSS). This Integrated Mast is an I-Mast 400, identical to those that are to be installed on...

Alcatel-Lucent has enhanced its microwave packet radio portfolio for the North American market with additional features and support for additional frequency bands to better address the needs of mobile service providers as they deal with the data increase caused by the rapid growth of high-bandwidth interactive consumer applications. The...
