Artech author Ken Hintz gave us insight into today’s sensing environment: Today’s sensing environment not only contains the conventional military physical sensors such as RADAR, FLIR, LIDAR, ESM, etc., but also includes widely distributed physical environmental sensors in the internet of things (IoT). The number of civilian networked devices comprising the IoT was an estimated …
My published book titled Parameter Extraction and Complex Nonlinear Transistor Models concerns with the following three key topics: Small-signal model parameter extraction Large-signal device modeling Large-signal measurement techniques In my first post, dated December 17, 2019, I explained the limitation of using the standard 15-element FET model for modern high power multifinger GaN devices. Similar …
Artech House supports its authors long after their books publish, and our authors continue to make huge strides in their fields. Today, we highlight author Tom Otoshi, whose book, Noise, Temperature Theory and Applications for Deep Space Communications Antenna Systems, continues to be relevant today: In 1961, Mr. Otoshi joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at …
Cameron Coursey, who just released his second book with Artech House, The Practitioners Guide to Cellular IoT, describes what compelled him to write his book, and gives us a look at how he got into his field of IoT. What prompted me to write my book: There is a scene in the movie Apollo 13 …
Artech House author Uri Vered let us know why he wrote his bestseller, Intersystem EMC Analysis, Interference, and Solutions: Friends asked me, how did I come up with the idea of writing my book, so here is the story. I am an EMC specialist, mainly performing EMC surveys for tens of years. While doing so, I …
Some industries are rethinking offshore manufacturing because of the pandemic and the corresponding material and product shortages. Local manufacturing has the benefit of reducing the dependence on other countries and simplifying the supply chain. In countries where costs are high, however, it may only make sense to manufacture locally by taking advantage of capabilities …
Many comments and practical tips in my book are from my own experience, especially from my own mistakes. Two such cases are discussed in this blog. Grounding in RF Circuits In Section 8.6 of the book, an effect of the ground via location on signal integrity is discussed for a case where a signal …
5G-Advanced, 3GPP standardization phases and naming With the recent update from 3GPP [1] the new brand name and the logo have been introduced for the Release-18 (Rel-18) of mobile communications standards, namely 5G-Advanced. The work package for this standard release is still to be approved (the prioritization process on Rel-18 features should be completed …
What prompted you to write your book? In my EMC/RFI career I have conducted a multitude of inter-system interference studies and analyses, mainly for defense customers. One of my major difficulties was that available RFI calculation techniques and equations in the literature didn’t cover all my needs. Thus, I had to develop them by myself, …
We followed up with Artech House author Hamid Tayebi to learn where his research has led him today, and how that relates back to his publication with us, Applications of Geographic Information Systems for Wireless Network Planning: “After writing the book, we began to work on an enhanced web tool. This time, we focused on …
