To accommodate growing user demand for faster data rates and extensive connectivity, modern wireless communication systems must evolve to support a sharply increasing number of subscribers, all requesting service at the same time. This trend encourages the broad application of multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) systems. In fact, MIMO techniques can increase data rates, coverage of service areas

Microwave imaging employs detection techniques to evaluate hidden or embedded objects in a structure or media using electromagnetic (EM) waves in the microwave range, 300 MHz-300 GHz. Microwave imaging is often associated with radar detection such as target location and tracking, weather-pattern recognition, and underground surveillance, which are far-field applications. In recent years, due to microwaves'

Wireless communication has become an integral part of our lives, continuously improving the quality of our everyday activities. A multitude of functionalities are offered by recent generations of mobile phones, resulting in a significant adoption of wireless devices and a growth in data traffic, as reported by Ericsson [1] in Figure 1. To accommodate consumers' continuous demands for high data rates

We present the design and hand fabrication of a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar that teaches practicing engineers and students the fundamentals of radar theory, microwave systems, and component design. The fabrication can be done by hand-cutting simple shapes of foil with a knife or by cutting more complex shapes of foil with a 2D cutter from a hobby store [1]. We provide a brief

For the last 25 years, my main technical focus has been RF semiconductors for mobile phones. In the mid-1990s, we were concerned with only four frequency bands. We referred to these as cellular, GSM, DCS, and PCS (or, alternatively, as the 850-, 900-, 1,800-, and 1,900-MHz bands). These names were a useful shorthand for specific frequency allocat ions. The numerical names seem more meaningful, but

Reports on initiatives of the FCC to address new standards to modify the existing limits of radiation exposure rules. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced in December 2019 that it reaffirms the RF radiation exposure limits it first adopted in 1996. The action was undertaken in the face of appeals

When the first commercial electromagnetic (EM) simulators appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s, we were thrilled to be able to accurately simulate a single microstrip discontinuity, even if the simulation ran overnight. Today, computer hardware is cheaper and much faster, and EM simulation software is more efficient and sophisticated. Even so, putting an EM simulator inside an optimization

The ever-increasing demand for high-datarate wireless systems has led to a crowded electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. This demand has successively spurred the development of versatile microwave and millimeter-wave integrated components possessing high selectivity, multifunctionalities, and enhanced efficiency. These components require a class of nonreciprocal structures endowed with extra functionalities

The next generation wireless network, 5G, is expected to provide ubiquitous connections to billions of devices as well as to unlock many new services through multigigabit-per-second data transmission. To meet the ever-increasing demands for higher data rates and larger capacities, new modulation schemes have been developed, and wider frequency bands, such as those at millimeter wave (mm-wave), have

Mobile data traffic is expected to triple between 2018 and 2021 [1]. To meet past and future growth targets in an increasingly limited electromagnetic spectrum, wireless communications systems have evolved at a staggering rate. Current mobile phone standards like 3rd Generation Partnership Project LTE and Wi-Fi exploit orthogonal frequencydivision multiplexing (OFDM) as a means of achieving the required

The number of available services in mobile devices has increased continuously over the past several years. Applications such as the 5G cellular network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS are standard in modern devices. As a result, RF front-end requirements have become increasingly complex. To save money and space, it can make sense to use one front end for several services, which requires components with

This book is intended to serve as a text for courses that provide a student’s first exposure to radar principles. It covers the broad concepts that underlie basic principles of operation for most existing radar systems and maintains a good level of mathematical rigor—suitable to convince readers without being so dense as to cause them to lose interest. The book provides an extensive exposition of techniques
