January 20, 2011 10:58 am | Articles | CommentsBy Mark Forbes, Mentor Graphics Corporation As is well known, maximum RF coupling occurs when impedances on each side of the coupling match. A perfect match occurs when the impedances are identical and the Complex Matching Factor (CMF) is 0dB. When the CMF is 0db, the imaginary terms of the complex conjugate cancel, and the resistance is equal.
WiMAX and LTE: Closer than You Think
May 19, 2010 11:04 am | by Joe Cozzarelli, Senior Director Broadband RF Products and Glenn Eswein, Director Of Product Marketing, Broadband RF Business, ANADIGICS | Articles | CommentsAfter three years of deliberation, the IEEE802.16m air interface definition will be ready for prime time in the next few months. This critical step toward creating true 4G cellular technology based on WiMAX is important enough to earn compliant products a new name: WiMAX 2. Further proof came last month, when an impressive subset of the WiMAX community created the WiMAX 2 Collaboration Initiative to "improve the economics of mobile broadband" and "to create a better value chain for service providers.

August 11, 2006 10:47 am | by Uriah Pollock, Bilal Shahid and Iftikhar Zubair | Articles | CommentsThe security and privacy we have come to trust (primarily through wired networks) has quickly been disappearing, resulting in the requirement for a new form of network connection security. Wireless Ethernet tackled this problem not once, but twice. The second attempt, so far, looks to put an end to security problems “in-the-air” for Wi-Fi.
