January 2012 Look For Positive Changes Counterfeit parts. Factories in poor countries, where wages are minimal and working conditions are terrible. — Nancy Friedrich December 2011 Of Memory And Growth How does one properly summarize 50 years of publication for one magazine? — Jack Browne 50th Anniversary Issue Where Do We Go From Here? A year ago, when we started talking about how to celebrate our 50th anniversary, we all agreed that it should not be about us—the people who bring you this magazine and its associated website, newsletters, supplements, etc. — Bill Baumann 50th Anniversary Issue Looking Beyond These 50 Years Some members of this industry are visionaries. — Jack Browne 50th Anniversary Issue It’s People Who Make These Years Unique Looking through filing cabinets crammed with 50 years worth of magazines can bring back memories—certainly, at least, for the three decades that this editor has been associated with Microwaves & RF. — Jack Browne 50th Anniversary Issue A Glimpse Of Tomorrow, Today The microwave industry was largely born out of a very proud moment in history: the discovery and application of radar, which helped the Allies to win World War II. — Nancy Friedrich November 2011 Counterfeiting Could Happen To You The threat of counterfeit parts hangs over the entire electronics industry. — Nancy Friedrich October 2011 What If Analog Goes Away? “No analog! No analog!” Those words echoed throughout a fair-sized electronics repair shop in Upstate New York. They were triggered by the front cover of a service manual I had presented to the shop’s proprietor, which displayed a high-mileage analog reel-to-reel multitrack audio recorder. Said proprietor was surrounded by digital consumer electronics devices, and he clearly wanted nothing to do with the ancient technology embodied in that reel-to-reel recorder. Not terribly... — Jack Browne September 2011 Remembering Steve Jobs Having read countless news articles, blog posts, and personal reminiscences about Steve Jobs since last night, the prospect of commenting on his life, passing, and legacy is certainly a daunting one. — September 2011 Vigilance Aids Public Safety Ten years have passed since September 11, 2001. Undoubtedly, most people have been thinking back to that day—remembering where they were, what they were doing, and how much everything changed in just a few short hours. Even though so much was altered by those events, however, much remains the same today. We still face a looming threat of terrorist attacks. The US and its allies are still struggling for the upper hand in the resulting global “war on terror.” And public-safety... — Nancy Friedrich August 2011 When Analog And Digital Worlds Collide Good models require great imaginations. Whether at the device, circuit, or system level, computer-aided-engineering (CAE) software simulators will only take you so far when trying to model a design. The rest must come from good old-fashioned engineering imagination. it is being able to foresee parasitic circuit elements, or time delays in certain types of transmission lines that can result in phase shifts in the frequency domain. And it used to be simpler, with the analog... — Jack Browne July 2011 Does GPS Need To Be Saved? Lately, it seems as if my inbox has been abuzz with press releases, statements, and observations about LightSquared and its potential impact on the Global Positioning System (GPS). LightSquared has a unique business model because it is a wholesale-only, integrated, fourth-generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE wireless broadband and satellite network. According to some, its chance of financial success is rather dicey—especially given previous gambles gone wrong over the... — Nancy Friedrich June 2011 Celebrating Radar Technology Radar is one of those special application areas for RF/microwave technology: it serves not only the military, but commercial, industrial, and sometimes even medical users. It has come a long way over its lifetime, a lifetime that largely coincides with the history of this magazine. Radar systems, whether for military or commercial purposes, have sustained more than a few of the companies in this industry, and should continue to do so for years to come. The basic... — Jack Browne May 2011 More Women Take The Helm Recently, an engineer in the microwave industry proudly showed his father a Microwaves & RF article that reflected his work. Both this engineer’s father and mother were engineers. In fact, his mother was part of the Johns Hopkins team that developed the vacuum-tube proximity fuse during World War II. Upon reviewing the issue, the father was of course impressed by his son’s work. What also stood out for him, however, was my editor’s column and picture. Before children, when... — Nancy Friedrich May 4, 2011 Generating Signals With Less Noise — Jack Browne April 20, 2011 Spring Signals New Opportunities — Jack Browne April 12, 2011 Volunteers Help Spread The Wealth — Jack Browne April 2011 In Search Of Lost Time Memory can be deceptive. especially as we grow older, it is easier to “color” pictures of the past in a certain way. at times, the remembrance may be complimentary—at other times, negative. only those who are truly objective can recall their personal history with impartiality, clarity, and precision. In particular, while assembling more “looks back” in celebration of Microwaves & RF’s 50 years of service, the report on amplifiers evoked strong memories of... — Jack Browne April 6, 2011 Seems Like More Digital In That RF — Jack Browne March 23, 2011 Industry Follows Sinewave-Like Cycles — Jack Browne  prev. page
