Pages: 6 - 7 Abstract: Welcome to the July issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine. Although I’m writing this “From the Editor’s Desk” column in early April, I predict that you and I attended the 2022 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), in Denver, Colorado. Making predictions is hazardous, especially about the future (with apologies to the originators of the quote, often attributed to a number of people, including Danish politician Karl Kristian Steincke and American baseball player Yogi Berra), but I am sure that everyone who attended IMS2022 was glad to be back in the conference scene of learning new technologies, seeing old friends, and making new ones. IMS is truly a unique conference, in that it blends our microwave engineering practices of theory, application, and hardware into a “see it all in one place” experience. And, as I mentioned in last month’s column, it looks like the trend toward more in-person conferences (or at least with a significant in-person component) is continuing, another sign that we are returning to approaching a prepandemic normal.

Pages: 14 - 15 Abstract: I was the general chair of the 2009 IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Boston. At the time, the largest hotel chain in Boston was Starwood Hotels and Resorts. The Boston Sheraton, two Westins, and the Boston Park Plaza were all Starwood hotels. It was important for us to include these hotels in our housing block. Similarly, Starwood wanted us to include its hotels in our block since we would be the dominant event in Boston for an entire week. PubDate:

Pages: 16 - 17 Abstract: Some years ago, IEEE Press published a selection of my columns as a book, From ER to E.T. [1], which carried the subtitle How Electromagnetic Technologies Are Changing Our Lives. Naturally, I was intrigued by science writer Brian Clegg’s new book Ten Days in Physics That Shook the World [2], subtitled How Physicists Transformed Everyday Life. Clegg describes [2] how 10 “key breakthroughs in physics—and physics-based engineering—have transformed the world we live in.” You may not agree with all the author’s choices, but it will be fun to take a quick tour of the book through the short quiz in the following. It is time to grab a pen and test your knowledge of the history of physics! No Googling allowed. The answers appear elsewhere in this issue. PubDate:

Pages: 30 - 46 Abstract: One main challenge for modern mobile communication systems is simultaneous demand for higher data rates (performance) and lower power consumption and size (cost). One way to increase wireless data transfer capacity is to employ frequency-division duplex (FDD) wireless systems where both transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) work at the same time but in two different frequency bands with sufficient amount of guard band between them. An FDD system requires sharing the antenna between Tx and Rx [Figure 1(a)]. Because of the simultaneous operation of Tx and Rx units, modern FDD front-end realizations face numerous challenges, as shown in Figure 1(b): PubDate:

Pages: 47 - 60 Abstract: Medical monitoring has improved over the last four decades to include increasingly less invasive techniques. In particular, Doppler radar methods are emerging as a means for remote sensing of respiration and heart activity, which until recently was restricted to science fiction. The potential for such nonintrusive accrual of biomedical data applies to a wide range of health/life monitoring applications and has motivated the development of a wealth of radio and signal processing research. Notably, there has been keen interest in addressing the challenge of simultaneously monitoring cardiopulmonary signs for multiple subjects in close proximity. PubDate:

Pages: 61 - 77 Abstract: The introduction of new technology in the wireless communication industry increases the number of frequency bands in the communication environment. Therefore, a communication system capable of functioning over several frequency bands, known as a multiband communication system, is required. In addition, multiband communication systems support technology upgrades by smoothly bridging the migration from the existing technology to a newer technology. A multiband communication system can be developed with the help of two approaches. The first approach is a multiband communication system that contains multiple microwave circuits, with each circuit optimized for a single band; for example, a dual-band communication system has two low-pass filters and two power amplifiers. But this approach increases not only the size but also the cost of the system. In the second approach, rather than using a separate power amplifier and filter for each frequency band, a single power amplifier, filter, and other components are used that can support more than one frequency band. These circuits are known as multiband microwave circuits. Multiband circuits not only minimize size but also reduce the cost of designing the multiband communication system. PubDate:

Pages: 78 - 82 Abstract: After a decade, it was a thrill to host the IEEE Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC) in Australia again. This time, the location was Brisbane, the largest city in Queensland, strategically located a 1-h flight between Sydney and Cairnes. Brisbane hosts the University of Queensland (UQ), one of the most prestigious universities in the country. At the UQ, the Faculty of Engineering is ranked five out of five and demonstrates keen interest and success in high-frequency engineering. The gates to Australian wildlife exploration also open from Brisbane. Tourists have an easy journey to Cairnes from Brisbane. No doubt, if you had to take a long-haul, 14-h flight from the west coast of the United States and even a 9-h trip from Hong Kong, Beijing, Seoul, or Tokyo, you would probably consider visiting the Great Barrier Reef, a must-see at least once.
