Addresses issues involving diversity during the COVID-10 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed many inequities. In the United States, the rate of infection from the disease, the seriousness of the illness, and the death rate are higher for Blacks, Latinos, and Latinas than they are for the population at large. There is no single cause of this, but the type of work people do is clearly a factor

The articles in this special section focus on microwaves and microscopy. As the phrase implies, the topic lies at the intersection of two technical disciplines: microwave engineering and measurements on microscopic- length scales. Within the pages of this issue are many compelling images from a wide selection of application areas, including MOS devices, biological cells, acoustic wave devices, and

Corrections were made to reference material in the article, “5G communication technology and coronavirus disease,” (J. C. Lin, IEEE Microw. Mag., vol. 21, no. 9, pp. 16–19, Sept. 2020. doi: 10.1109/ MMM.2020.2999236).

For more than 50 years, Moore's law has creatively captured how the capability of electronics has expanded by creating ever smaller devices and exploiting new materials and devices. Critical to maintaining that trajectory of increased capability of electronics has been the creation of new and ever-more sensitive measurement techniques to guide invention and fabrication. Quantum effects, which are already

The optical characterization of nanoscale objects is challenging due to the Abbe diffraction limit. This limit constrains the achievable spatial resolution of a conventional microscope using visible light to ≈ 200 nm . 200 nm. The current era of nanotechnological research has been enabled by a host of experimental techniques that circumvent the diffraction limit. Since the Abbe limit scales proportional

Often, a student comes in excited by a revolutionary idea. When this happens, we invite the student to check the literature carefully and, moreover, to extend the search way back, for more than a century, in fact. For example, encouraged by Albert Einstein, Edward H. Synge introduced the concept of a near-field scanning microscope in the 1928 paper "A Suggested Method for Extending Microscopic Resolution

Atoms in all materials are constantly shaking, which is largely responsible for the transfer of heat and sound. In a uniform crystalline solid, the motion of the lattice can be decomposed into just a handful of normal modes of vibration or, in the language of quantum mechanics, a set of quantized eigenmodes of the elastic structure known as phonons [1]. In the frequency (f) regime of interest for microwave

The centuries-old field of microscopy has revolutionized and is now indispensable in the natural sciences, medicine, and many branches of technology. New techniques and approaches used for visualizing small objects and measuring their physical or chemical properties and their structures are in demand and constantly being developed. In the suite of modern microscopy techniques, nondestructive methods

In April, there were several odd reports coming out of the United Kingdom about 5G cellular communication towers being set on fire-allegedly linking the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic to the rollout of 5G communication technology [1]. It sounds rather bizarre; even as a conspiracy theory, it did not make sense!

The past few decades have shown great advancements in wireless communication systems; however, today's explosive increase in data traffic demands even further improvement in such systems toward next-generation platforms. Current 4G mobile systems provide stationary users with data speeds up to 1 Gbit/s and high-mobility users with speeds up to 100 Mbit/s for mobile online access and multimedia applications

According to a recent report [1], the United States is expected to see a fourfold increase in mobile data traffic between 2016 and 2021. Notably, the report suggests that an investment of roughly US$130-150 billion could be required over the next seven years, given that the current infrastructure is not adequate to support the expected growth in wireless data. Further, current transceiver architectures

With the development of wireless communication systems, the use of complex impedance transformers to convert one complex impedance into another is important for achieving the maximum power transfer. These transformers are exploited for impedance-transforming power dividers (PDs) and combiners [1]-[3], wireless power transfer [4] and energy harvesting, antenna feed lines, and power amplifiers. The simplest

Let's boot up a quantum computer. Far from being a simple push of a button, initializing a prototype quantum computer requires the precise tuning and calibration of many different parameters. Rather than switching transistors on and off, the controller of a quantum processor emits combinations of analog waveforms, each with a characteristic shape, frequency, and duration. These waveforms are used to

The articles in this special section focus on quantum computing. After decades of research and development, quantum computing has recently grown into one of the hottest and most promising of all emerging fields. While large-scale quantum computing was just a pipe dream even a decade ago, today there is an intense race around the globe to build a practical quantum computer. So, as a microwave engineer

During the past decade, quantum computing has grown from a field known mostly for generating scientific papers to one that is poised to reshape computing as we know it [1]. Major industrial research efforts in quantum computing are currently underway at many companies, including IBM [2], Microsoft [3], Google [4], [5], Alibaba [6], and Intel [7], to name a few. The European Union [8], Australia [9]

In superconducting quantum computing, qubit state information is conveyed via low-power microwave fields. As such, ultralow-noise microwave amplification plays a central role in measuring these fields to quickly and accurately infer the qubit state. To this end, parametric amplification, once a well-known concept for low-noise amplifiers during the 1960s and 1970s, has become the leading technology

Quantum processing has the potential to transform the computing landscape by enabling efficient solutions to problems that are intractable using classical processors. The field was sparked by a suggestion from physicist Richard Feynman in 1981 that a controllable quantum system can be used to simulate other quantum systems, such as the energy band structure of complex materials or the chemical reaction

This book is intended for a broad audience of indoor anechoic range users. It is both a reference and a useful source of information in which engineers can find answers and guidance for solving problems such as what size range to design and build, the best approach for measuring antennas and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and understanding the potential limitations of a given anechoic range.
