[Webinar] Relativistic Field Theory for Microwave Engineers

Presented by Matthew Morgan
March 6

In my recent book, "Relativistic Field Theory for Microwave Engineers," I discuss the often-overlooked connection between Maxwell's equations and Einstein's theory of special relativity. Electrical engineers, especially those who work in the areas of microwaves and wireless radio technology, are well-positioned to have a unique perspective on these subjects, as it was wave solutions to Maxwell's equations, revealing for the first time that light is an electromagnetic wave, which motivated special relativity in the first place.

How is AI Changing EW?

Artificial intelligence burst into mainstream awareness less than three years ago with tools like ChatGPT and image generators such as Google Gemini. However, AI – particularly machine learning – has been shaping electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO) for decades. In this episode of From the Crows’ Nest, host Ken Miller dives into the cutting edge of AI in next-generation EMSO systems with Rob Hyland, Principal Scientist and Director of Program Transition at Charles River Analytics. Rob discusses how “hybrid” AI is revolutionizing EMSO, enabling systems to learn entire segments of the electromagnetic spectrum, accelerate upgrades and enhance adaptability. He also highlights the challenges of applying AI to modern threats, stressing the urgent need for specialized talent to model, train and integrate AI within the defense sector.

Presented by Bryan Clark
Feb. 6

Today’s wars in Ukraine and Israel highlight the criticality of sensing and understanding on the battlefield. Despite ubiquitous satellite, airborne and terrestrial surveillance, combatants on both sides of these conflicts have been surprised, with sometimes catastrophic results. The US military should embrace the resulting lessons as it considers how to counter Chinese forces in China’s own back yard. Survival in this highly-contested environment will depend on mobility and distribution, carefully orchestrated with electromagnetic warfare, while massing effects will require sensing and communications the enemy cannot detect and counter-target. This webinar will highlight current trends in US military force design and operational concepts and how they will rely on new approaches to EMSO.

[Webinar] Fast Switching Low Noise Synthesizers

Presented by Paul Jackson
Jan. 23

Fast tuning and low phase noise are typically opposing specifications for synthesizers. In this talk we will discuss modern synthesizers and how the tuning speed and phase noise coupling has been broken enabling both low phase noise and fast switching as attributes of the same synthesizer. We will discuss construction of small form factor, fast switching, low phase noise synthesizers.
