Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are highly localized surface waves on the interface between metal and dielectric in the optical frequency band. SSPs do not naturally exist in the microwave and terahertz frequencies, so “spoof” surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs) are necessary for operations in those lower frequency bands. Like optical SPPs, microwave SSPPs exhibit highly localized […]

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (SWKS) in Woburn, Mass., and Seattle, Wash.-based Impinj, Inc. (PI) are gaining popularity in the Internet of Things (IoT) space. SWKS is a wireless semiconductor company that designs and manufactures semiconductor products for radiofrequency and mobile communications applications. PI provides RAIN radio-frequency identification solutions for identifying, locating, and authenticating wirelessly connected items,

Feature With demand for airborne bandwidth at an all-time high, thanks to ever-flashier streaming and our new Zoomified lifestyles, researchers, standards bodies, and equipment makers are keen to push on and create more capable radio systems. What these will look like, and what they’ll do, depends on new technology. The big move promised in the

In recent years, we’ve noticed a growing confusion in the industry over sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIF) design and performance requirements. Part 1 of this article is intended to bring some clarity to various documents and performance requirements from a radiofrequency (RF) shielding perspective to aid in the design and construction of these facilities.  Introduction

With an incredibly low loss of 0.2 dB/km, optical fibers made from silica have laid the foundations of today’s global telecommunication networks and

TECH TALK: A slowing of mobile phone sales should trigger important research into their impact, says BILL MAGEE Grand Theft Auto gamesters know well a stratagem called “You’ve Had Your Chips”, but beyond GTA’s twilight fictional world is a real-time drama, summed up by headlines declaring “A Global Chip Shortage”. COVID-19 is taking the blame for being uncomfortably close

The continued growth of wireless and cellular data traffic relies heavily on light waves. Microwave photonics is the field of technology that is dedicated to the distribution and processing of electrical information signals using optical means. Compared with traditional solutions based on electronics alone, microwave photonic systems can handle massive amounts of data. Therefore, microwave
