As merger mania has hit the RF industry, we head into the fall season and back to school. We had a slow end of the summer for webinars and trade shows but Sept kicks off with Autotest and Super Mobility Week plus we have a bunch of webinars coming up on a variety of topics.

On the editorial side, the October Government and Military Electronics issue will feature some very interesting technology from the DARPA sponsored program, Mobile Hotspots. Authors from Millitech and L-3 Communications West describe the performance benchmarks they set through the development of a system for a scalable, mobile, self-forming and managing network of millimeter-wave air-to-air and air-to-ground gigabit class data links utilizing UAVs.

The November Passive and Control Components issue will feature various new switch/filter technologies that the Dover Companies are working on to meet the current market challenges such as agile tuning, co-site interference and more. This issue will also feature the return of the Mobius Resonator developed by Drs. Rohde and Poddar at Synergy Microwave that was our cover story last year and generated much conversation about their new approach to oscillator design. Also in November is our Mobile Communications and Infrastructure supplement that will feature mmWave technology for next generation 5G communication systems written by Ted Rappaport of NYU WIRELESS, host of the Brooklyn 5G Summit.

To finish off the year, our December Industrial, Scientific and Medical Applications issue will feature a cover story that tackles one of the hottest topics of the year, the Internet of Things (IoT). The story will be made up of a contribution from Linear Technology covering IoT for industrial applications and a second piece from Si Labs covering IoT for consumer applications including low power consumption design.

If you have not seen our Frequency Matters video update series, our latest episode is out now. We hope that everyone had a great summer and look forward to seeing at the one of the upcoming trade shows or press tours.
