Antenna calibration and chamber validation have been a popular topic at EMC test and measurement facilities around the world. While the leading technical standards issued by ANSI C63 and CISPR have detailed descriptions on the test methods and test procedures, the technical background and cross-references between the two standards and general practices are not so well understood and shared among international communities. This webinar is intended to bring the experts representing industry and government metrology institutions together in order to…

Inside Microwave Measurements with Dr. Jon Martens
On June 30th the AP/MTT and ED/CAS Chapters of the IEEE Foothill Section are hosting the Distinguished Microwave Lecture:What is My Measurement Equipment Actually Doing? Implications for 5GPresented by Dr. Jon Martens, Engineering Fellow at Anritsu.As broadband microwave measurements become more prevalent in the 100+ GHz range, the limitations and challenges related to nonlinearities, dynamic range, calibration, and processing algorithms become topics that uW and mmW engineers must better understand. This presentation shall discuss many of the "under the hood"…

AbstractThe ability to store, transfer, and process quantum information promises to transform how we calculate, communicate, and measure. In the past two decades, superconducting microwave circuits based on Josephson junctions emerged as a powerful platform for quantum computation. However, these systems operate at low temperatures and microwave frequencies, lack compact memory elements, and require coherent optical interconnects to transfer quantum information across long distances.In this talk, I will discuss how MEMS can address some of these open challenges for realizing…

Abstract:With the increasing number of vehicles and traffic accidents, driving safety has become an important factor that affects our daily lives. As the primary cause of driving accidents, driving fatigue could be prevented by a sensing and alarm system built in the vehicle. In this talk, we propose to exploit radio frequency identification (RFID) tags as low-cost wearable sensors for driving fatigue detection. Unlike traditional video camera based solutions, this approach does not require lighting in the driving environment and…

Abstract: Electrical generation, transmission, and distribution systems all over the world have entered a period of significant renewal and technological change. There have been phenomenal changes/deployments in the technology of generation driven by the worldwide emphasis on energy from wind and solar as a sustainable solution to our energy needs. Increasingly energy demand from heating and transportation is being met by electricity. These changes have significantly influenced the planning, design, operation, and control of the power distribution system. Accommodating uncertainties…

We live in times in which we're bombarded with information of all sorts vying for our attention and sometimes intended to move us to action. If we're not careful, we are acting on someone else's best interests--not necessarily your own. And if you are an engineer, or in a technical field, then critical thinking is all the more important to ensuring you're using the right information, data and insights to deliver the most effective and potentially novel, break-through solution you…

The drive to enhance human interactivity and reduce weight of electronic systems has led to the use of non-conventional substrates. As the substrates become thinner, more flexible and economical, the thermal stability of the working substrate is significantly lowered. As such, the conventional modes of component attachment are no longer functional. To bridge this gap, anisotropic adhesives and tapes, as well as low-temperature solders and conductive epoxies, have been developed. However, in terms of performance, conventional soldering is still the…
