A Few Great RF & Microwave Engineering Articles for June 2017

Many of this month's articles are written by engineers at the companies who either make the products being described, or make instruments that measure the products being described. Since it is the designers who have - at least initially - the greatest knowledge of the topic, they usually provide valuable insight into the details. Over time, if a particular product becomes popular, superior expertise often gravitates towards users as new, unplanned and/or enhanced uses are discovered. Manufacturers welcome the shift and benefit from feedback provided by what are essentially unpaid researchers (sorta like Nike having fans pay to wear T-shirts with their emblem on it). 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.
