A Few Great RF & Microwave Engineering Articles for August 2017

August issues of the most popular electronics and RF magazines do not have a whole lot of really interesting (to me, anyway) articles. One titled Dead Meters Expose Battery Terminal Design Issues does strike a familiar chord that is worth reading if for no other reason than to see the comments by readers. Just about everyone has experienced the horror and inconvenience of opening a battery-powered device and discovering corrosion at the battery terminal contacts. Items move onto and off of all homepages quickly, so even if you visit Microwave & RF, Microwave Journal, Microwave Product Digest, High Frequency Electronics, et al, regularly, you might have missed something in the list below.

Here is a complete list of all featured RF & microwave articles in 2017.

• Microwave Material Measurements Without Cables, John W. Schultz
• RF/Microwave Amplifier Design Using Harmonic Balance Simulation with Only S-parameter Data, by NI/AWR
• Minimizing Temperature Drift in Your Current Measurement, by Dan Harmon
• Dead Meters Expose Battery Terminal Design Issues, by Paul Rako
• Understanding the Limitations of Modern Military Radio Testbeds, JFW Industries, Inc
• Build Your Own Oscilloscope Probes for Power Measurements, by Martin Brown
• mmWaves Hit the Highway, by Amarpal (Paul) Khanna
• Carrier Modifications Make Ultranarrowband Modulation, by Harold R. Walker
