What's
new for September 2008?
As is always the case, we've
been busy this month adding plenty of new features to Microwaves101.
We ain't been slack, Cap'n Walker!
To our readers who
are still earning thier degrees, welcome back, and party on!
- Limiters
have their own page
- When we refer to loss or gain
in decibels, often there is a conrolversuy surrounding whether
a minus sign is missing. That pesky minus sign is debate on
this page.
- New material in the Mortuary.
First is some pictures from Buenes Aires, courtesy of Marcel.
Then, From Lazslo in Budapest we have some pictures of a frozen
antenna, and a picture of a hangman.
- The Microwave Hall of Fame
has a new member, Seymour
Cohn. Recall that last month we used Seymour's article on
even/odd mode analysis to analyze the multisction
Wilkinson using Excel. Dr. Cohn wrote many papers for the
IRE on a wide swath of microwave subjects, including stripline,
ridged waveguide, filter theory; his papers were concise, quite
readable and above all just as relevant today as when he wrote
them. Thanks to Jack K. for nominating him!
- We have a new page on peak
power handling of coax.
- A new rule
of thumb has been added,
- The Unknown
Editor has leftover material from last month, on the topic
of phishing and "phish bowls" in restaurants. A public
service announcement that you'll only get here! Plus he shamelessly
posted a picture of eight young ladies in their prom dresses for
no good reason! What kind of microwave web site would do that?
- The following topics now
have their own pages but have limited or no content... why not
help us out and give us a data dump on one or more of these worthy
topics? These are listed in order of decreasing content...
-
We've got some new questions--and
answers--on our Microwave
Message Board. We've have hundreds of topics posted on various
microwave engineering subjects, with many more replies; our
message board is an industry resource. Post your own questions,
or help us answer some of the ones that are already posted.
Some of the posted material may eventually get captured in our
encyclopedia, so do your part for posterity! We'll remove any
postings that we consider inappropriate.
Attention forward thinking
microwave marketeers: check out information on advertising with
us. Sponsorship information
is but a click away... come and share the magic of 10,000
page views per weekday. Hey that rhymes! Join our best friends
in the Virtual Lobby!
As always, we want you to
sign up for
the MW101Stuff
newsletter, or submit a photo for our Microwave
Mortuary. We'd love to hear from you, whether you have nice
things to say about Microwaves101.com or just want to tell us
how we've ruined your life!
