This week's Microwave and RF Engineering crossword puzzle contains the usual
collection of science, math, and engineering terms. Each week for two decades I
have created a new technology-themed crossword puzzle using only words (1,000s
of them) from my custom-created lexicon related to engineering, science,
mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, etc. You will never find among the
words names of politicians, mountain ranges, exotic foods or plants, movie
stars, or anything of the sort. You might, however, find someone or something in
the otherwise excluded list directly related to this puzzle's technology theme,
such as Hedy Lamarr or the Bikini Atoll, respectively. Avid cruciverbalists amongst us: the gauntlet has been thrown down.
Reproduction of this puzzle without the
