It was Ralph Waldo Emerson who reportedly said "If you build a better mouse trap the world will make a beaten path to your door"

Nothing epitomizes this quote more than the debate heating up in Ultra Wide band technology. This important technology brings the convenience of wireless communications to high-speed interconnect devices throughout the home and office. Designed for short-range personal area networks, Ultra Wideband is the leading technology for freeing people from wires in video, audio and other high-bandwidth data.

The entire July issue of Emerging Wireless Technology will be magnastripped inside RF Design and will be devoted to Ultra wideband technology. What we now have in the industry are two industry organizations, (WiMedia Alliance and UWB Forum), and both groups will see products out this year. Those companies that successfully introduce these products are likely to be the ones who flourish.

If you have an innovative new product , this is the issue to showcase it. We are offering a discounted rate to those who are members of WiMedia Alliance and UWB Forum . Please call me this week to be sure you have time to take advantage of the opportunity.

Aside from Emerging Wireless Technology, the regular issue of RF Design will have four feature articles that offer solutions across every sector of RF.

The cover feature on Sensing & Security, presents solutions that facilitate reliable sensing and control. The Time and Frequency article analyzes techniques to mitigate interference. The Next Generation Wireless feature presents a technique called Detect & Avoid, which mitigates interference potential by searching for broadband wireless signals and then automatically switching the UWB device. The fourth article, RF Microwave Switches & Connectors address multiband requirements of next generation handsets

This is information our readers simply cannot find anywhere else.

If you want to be sure that your message will be seen, read and acted upon, don't miss our July issue. There is still time to get your ad in this issue, and reach our audience at the moment they are reading and thinking about what vendors they will incorporate into their next design.

Sensing & Security
Integrated wireless microcontroller facilitates reliable sensing and control

Many mesh networking applications, such as home/building automation, industrial process control and pipeline security, are taping the benefits of ZigBee and IEEE802.15.4 standards. In this article, Paul Chilton, Jennic, Sheffield, UK, describes a highly integrated wireless microcontroller that facilitates low-power, low-cost implementation of wireless sensing networks in these applications with high reliability. While presenting both hardware and software as part of this solution, the article also focuses on encryption to secure wireless communications in such networks.

Time & Frequency
Impact of ultra-low phase noise oscillators on system performance

While discussing the significance of phase noise in today ’s electronics equipment, with this article, Ramon Cerda, Crystek Crystals, will present technology developed to achieve ultra-low phase noise oscillators. And its impact on the overall system performance.

Next Generation Wireless
Using novel detect and avoid technique to mitigate interference

Many concerns have been raised about the potential interference of UWB with WiMAX and 3G/4G cellular networks. Amir Freund, Wisair, presents a technique called Detect & Avoid, which mitigates interference potential by searching for broadband wireless signals and then automatically switching the UWB device to another frequency to prevent any conflict. Additionally, it also presents some findings from preliminary laboratory tests conducted with UWB devices and a WiMAX systems.

RF/Microwave Switches & Connectors
RF CMOS switches address multiband requirements of next generation handsets

Latest multiband mobile handsets with four frequency bands are pushing the limits of performance available with traditional PIN or pHEMT switches. UltraCMOS, a silicon-on-sapphire technology, shows promise for developing new, complex switching products that can address the complexity and RF requirements of next generation handsets. In this article, Rodd Novak, Peregrine Semiconductor discloses novel RF CMOS SOI switches capable of switching multiple high power RF signals with low insertion loss, high isolation, and superior linearity. Measured performance in the system is provided.
