Antenna polarization, much like polarization with light, and nothing to do with arctic weather, and everything to do with the transmission and reception of electromagnetic radiation based on its orientation. With light polarization, a film or glass will appear darker, and block, light which is polarized in a certain direction, while allowing correctly polarized light ..

It is no surprise that current and upcoming mobile wireless standards and methods are leveraging multiple technologies to increase the throughput to user equipment (UE) and the availability of high-speed data services. Some of the major challenges to overcome for high speed wireless data to be offered are limited spectrum availability, interference, and the sheer ..

The skin effect and skin depth is a rarely discussed topic, considering as it is an essential phenomenon to be aware of when working with any conductor, or semiconductor, at RF frequencies, or really anything other than DC. Essentially, the skin effect is the term to describe the way current is distributed in a conductor ..

Waveguide interconnect and assemblies are used in a wide variety of microwave and millimeter-wave applications. These applications include military, aerospace, Satcom, radar, microwave/millimeter-wave imaging, industrial heating/cooking, and more. In several of the applications and specific cases, a rigid waveguide assembly, or interconnect routing, must be done in a geometry which would require a waveguide structure ..
