There has been a growing interest in the deployment of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) not only in high-voltage transmission, but in lower-voltage distribution systems. For a Distributed Generation (DG) grid this would require deployment of PMUs at
This report studies the effect of frequency offset, quantization error, random additive noise, and random phase jitter on the results of sine fitting and performing Discreet Fourier Transforms (DFT) of measurements of sinewaves with Data Acquisition
A new approach to detect absolute radio-frequency (RF) electric fields (E-fields) that uses Rydberg atoms at room temperature in vapor cells has recently been demonstrated. The large transition dipole moments between energetically adjacent Rydberg states

We examine interference and coexistence testing issues, test methods, and the need to update and develop new test methodologies related to the use of wireless devices in critical infrastructure systems. A case study on interference is presented along with
In this era of inter-connectivity where almost everybody, everything, and anything are networked, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) also known as the Internet of Things (IoT) have emerged as vital systems that use information systems to observe and modify the

This work focuses on the accuracy of nonlinear de-embedding applied to microwave transistor time-domain waveforms. The waveforms are acquired with a mixer-based Large-Signal Network Analyzer (LSNA) and are corrected at the transistor's reference planes by
This incoming Editor In Chief's (EIC) message is expected to appear in the next issue of the IEEE wireless communications. The editorial team will be under the leadership of the new EIC for a period of three years.

In this work, an experimental study of the influence of Cu through-silicon via (TSV) diameter on stress build up was performed using synchrotron-based X-ray microdiffraction technique. Three Cu TSV diameters were studied; 3 µm, 5 µm and 8 µm, all of which

The Public Safety community is in a period of great transition. Over the next 20 years, technology advancements will enable data, video, and eventually voice communications to migrate from disparate Land Mobile Radio (LMR) networks to a nationwide public

We discuss the role of the wave impedance in temporal measurements in rectangular waveguide and present a simple rule-of-thumb for estimating the difference of the temporal electric and magnetic field waveforms supported by the dominant TE10 mode. We also

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a dynamic electro-thermal simulation and analysis approach for device design and short-circuit safe-operating-area (SOA) characterization using a physics-based electro-thermal Saber®* model. Model parameter
A 2x2 Mach-Zehnder optical switch design with a footprint of 0.5 um x 2.5 um using nanomechanical gap plasmon phase modulators [1] is presented. The extremely small footprint and modest optical loss are enabled by the strong phase modulation of gap

The miniaturization of photonic devices is fundamentally limited by the index of refraction of the constituent materials if light is confined in dielectric nanostructures. By coupling electromagnetic fields to metal's free electrons plasmonic devices
