Like all waveguides, ridged waveguides carry electromagnetic radiation in the form of a transverse wave. The fundamental mode of most waveguides used in interconnect and RF devices is the transverse electric (TE) mode with no electric field in the direction of propagation. This means that the electric field is pointing from one of the side-walls ..

Though 5G comes with many promises of a ubiquitous high-speed experience with dramatically improved performance over 4G systems, there are several necessary upgrades to underlying technology and infrastructure that are necessary to achieve those desired ends. One such area is with timing and synchronization. In order to realize the desired 5G network responsiveness for high ..

Chirp Radar is a type of radar that uses frequency modulation and pulse compression (which may confuse many as chirp has also been used as a synonym for “pulse compression”), which combines the capabilities of frequency modulation and pulse radar. Some of the benefits of a Chirp radar over a simple pulse radar are range ..

A continuous wave (CW) Doppler radar can be augmented via the use of frequency modulation. This type of radar is known as a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. The use of frequency modulation allows for the detection of both range and target velocity, as well as the ability to discriminate between multiple targets. A ..
