With nothing more complex than a germanium point-contact diode and an oscilloscope, you can quickly, easily, and cheaply resolve microwave signals, as we are shown with a 2.4GHz wireless mouse.

The researchers have shown that the setup can amply the signal by a factor of up to 1,000. It could be used to receive data from spacecraft but also from microwave-emitting sources such as pulsars ...

The magnetron, which generates microwave signals, operates using a combination of electric and magnetic fields to control electron trajectories, allowing for high peak power generation.

Applied physicists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a photon ...

Microwave photonics is the practical application ... The device shows efficient, direct millimeter-wave to optical signal conversion over a wide frequency range and thus demonstrates the potential ...

He had done his PhD on using masers (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) to amplify and measure radio signals from the spaces between galaxies. He knew the Holmdel antenna ...

Microwave photonics is the vibrant and somewhat niche field that marries the high-frequency and analog nature of radio signals with the low-power requirements and better processing capabilities of ...

Quantum communication requires networks of quantum processors connected through low-loss, low-noise channels to share entangled states. Superconducting ...
