A Job Well-Done Congratulations on your article dealing with microwave materials ("Microwave Materials Help Build An Industry," March 2008, p. 98). It has come to my mind those past times, trying myself to go beyond gigahertz with FR-4 materials. I really enjoy reading your articles. All are the product of an experienced engineer in MW and RF. ...  — Various Readers

Please Explain Correction In the February “Feedback” under ‘Misleading Survey Results,’ what are you trying to say in the last paragraph? It is a negative statement and is not easily understood. Bob Langley Hello Bob, To summarize, we ran a quick online survey to see what people thought of AVX acquiring American Technical Ceramics. First of all, I was “leading the...  — Various Readers

No Attribution Needed It has been brought to our attention that a reader of Microwaves & RF called into question the original artwork source for Figure 5 in our article, “Evaluate Test System Impedance Matching And Switch Quality,” originally published in September 2007. He stated we had “obviously” used a tool from his web site to create the figure. While we acknowledge that some similarities exist between the figures, we did not use his tool in...  — Jaideep Jhangiani , et al.

Misleading Survey Results SURVEYS SOMETIMES CREATE false impressions, and this was the case with an online survey recently conducted on the Microwaves & RF website and reported in this column in the December 2007 issue. The Quick Poll, which concluded last Nov. 28, asked the question, “Is the acquisition of American Technical Ceramics by AVX a good thing?” concerning the merging to two key RF/microwave-industry component ...  — Various Readers

Article Corrections I WAS PLEASED to learn of the induction of my father to the Microwave Legends. I don't know who nominated him, nor who wrote the biographical sketch. It is mostly right, but one glaring error does exist. In the sentence, "This ‘hobby’ quickly grew into the Bliley Piezo-Electric Co. in Carlisle, PA," the city should be Erie, PA—where the company still exists. For future information, please look at my history of the...  — Various Readers

No Apology Necessary
In the "FEEDBACK" column of October ("Breaking The Hatred Cycle," October 2007, p. 13), while referring to Jack Browne's article "The War Against IEDs" (improvised explosive devices) in Penton's Military Electronics, September 2007, John Evans expresses his opinion that social and cultural issues have nothing to do with the motives of Islamic terrorists. Indeed, he shows that these terrorists have been killing non-Muslims for...  — Alan Bensky

YOUR SEPTEMBER 2007 article "Evaluate Test System Impedance Matching And Switch Quality" by Jeremy Meier and Jaideep Jhangiani (p. 84) has an interesting image for Fig. 5 on p. 90. Interesting to me because it was generated from a free download at my website. A very similar image is used by me on this page: www.microwaves 101.com/encyclopedia/vswr.cfm. It...  — Steve

Breaking The Hatred Cycle
Please keep your pc mealy mouthed opinions out of your tech reviews. I’m speaking of the very last paragraph of the subject article (“Fighting The War Against IEDs,” Final Thoughts, Penton’s Military Electronics, September 2007). To say we need to “address social and cultural pressures” is ridiculous when speaking of Islamic terrorists trying to kill non- Muslims for hundreds of years. The attacks...  — John Evans

Claire Wainwright
I have been a reader of Microwaves & RF for more than 30 years, and I was very sad when I read your editorial ("The Odyssey Of Claire Wainwright," Editorial, June 2007, p. 17) about my very good friend Claire Wainwright. Apart from being a representative of Hewlett-Packard in Catalonia, I also represented Telonic Industries. Claire was a very kind person and also a good engineer, especially in sweep generators and filters. It is very gratifying...  — Julio del Olmo

MTT-S Editorial
A correction is needed in regard to your July editorial ("Hawaii Gets A Thumbs Up After All," Editorial, July 2007, p. 17). The acronym MTT-S has always represented Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, never MTT Symposium. The conference held in Honolulu was the 2007 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium, or, as it is frequently shortened to, simply the 2007 IMS. Also, information on the radar that detected the Japanese...  — Dick Sparks

WiMAX Article
I was looking over the WiMAX article that you graciously published as the Cover Story in the June issue ("Single Chip Holds WiMAX Transceivers," June 2007, p. 96), and I found one typo and a misplaced figure reference. The typo occurred on the last page in the middle column, the second line from the bottom—the part number should be MAX2837. Somehow, the numbers got scrambled. As for the misplaced reference, you have Figure 7 referenced in the...  — Dave Bursky

Waveguide Components
It is very rare that I am driven to write to the media but your recent piece in Microwaves & RF supposedly reviewing the world of waveguides ("Waveguide Components Cut Losses While Passing Power," July 2007, p. 40) has certainly raised some eyebrows here at Credowan. We have manufactured waveguide products here since the early 1950s and now, combined with our French factory known as Hypertechnologies, are the dominant force in space and...  — Nigel Bowes

Title Correction
Thanks for the opportunity to get on the June cover. The cover and the article ("Single Chip Holds WiMAX Transceiver," June 2007, p. 96) look great. There was one error in the article that I'd like to correct. My title is actually "Director, Wireless Data Products" and not "WiMAX Business Manager" as was listed in the article's author information. Walter Lau MAXIM Integrated Products Editor's Note: Walter, thank you...  — Walter Lau

Claire Wainwright
Thanks for a very nice article about my dad ("The Odyssey Of Claire Wainwright," Editorial, June 2007, p. 17). We're all very proud of him, and he would've loved this article. Wendy Swenson Claire Wainwright's oldest daughter Jack Browne responds: Thanks very much for writing, Wendy. Your father's time here was well spent and an inspiration. I just wanted to let more people know what it means to live "a good life" the way your...  — Wendy Swenson

PTS Synthesizers
MICHAEL LOHRER is right on the money about Programmed Test Sources and their synthesizers ("Survey Omission," Feedback, May 2007, p. 13). We love them here at CEC and use them as essential components of many of our transmitters. They're about the most reliable units we've seen over the years. And we've never had a case where a PTS unit didn't live up to its specifications. The phase noise is always within specifications as is the accuracy. Another great thing about ...  — J.

Antenna Report
Just a short word regarding your news report ("Antennas Set Patterns For Wireless Growth," p. 48) in the May 2007 issue of Microwaves & RF. "So the antenna, so the radio station" was an old saying that proves still worthy applying. Ghislain...  — Ghislain Ruy

Demesne?
In reference to Jack Browne's article on page 104 of the April 2007 issue of Microwaves & RF ("LDMOS RF IC Amplifiers Boost 100 W At 90 MHz"): You sent me to the dictionary. Who actually uses "demesne" in this day and age? Particularly odd in that Microwaves & RF is a technical journal and not a literary journal. Dan Griffin Avago Technologies Jack Browne responds: Hello, Dan. Thanks for reading. I was hoping...  — Dan Griffin

A Correction
In the June issue of Penton's Military Electronics, there are two errors in the writeup on the MwT MMA022030B MMIC in the new product section ("MMIC Power Amplifier Spans2 To 20 GHz," New Products 1). The following are the corrections to the product release: "The MMIC amplifier delivers typically +28.5 dBm output at P-1dB compression from 2 to 6 GHz, typically +28 dBm output at P1dB compression from 8 to 16 GHz, and typically +29 dBm output power at P-2dB compression point...  — Don Apte

Survey Omission
I picked up my March edition of Microwaves & RF with much anticipation, and put it down shortly thereafter with much dismay at our omission (from the frequency-synthesizer survey, "Frequency Synthesizers Fit Many Formats," p. 33). On page 43, there is an advertisement from the company that I am willing to wager has delivered more frequency synthesizers than any of those surveyed in your article— 40,000 plus over 30 years and still...  — Michael G. Lohrer

UWB Development
Thank you for printing my comments in your March issue concerning Yeap Yean Wei's article in the December 2006 issue ("Design A Simple, Low-Cost UWB Source," p. 68) and for his response to my comments as well. It seems to me that we both have similar experience with the matching problem of sources and antennas to be used in UWB technology. I am looking forward to Yeap Yean Wei's future paper in which he promised to describe the "real-world" problems and...  — Jiri Polivka
