Defense And Security Symposium Highlights The Latest In Sensor, Imaging, Optics, And Laser Technologies
By Roger Allan, Contributing Editor
With hurricane season just around the corner, attendees at the 2006 Defense and Security Symposium were eager to hear how better sensors and innovative modeling could improve the forecasting of storms like Katrina, which less than a year ago left New Orleans in ruin. Boasting over 2200 technical presentations and 420 company exhibits, the 2006 Defense and Security Symposium, held April 17-21 in Orlando, Fla., saw the largest non-classified technical program and exhibition of infrared (IR) imaging equipment, sensors, and optical components in the U.S. From day one, speakers tackled issues ranging from the barriers of biometrics to device developments for fighter aircraft and emergency first responders...

Small Antenna Design, First Edition
By Dr. Douglas Miron
Most EEs today are educated in almost everything but RF and antennas. Some EEs even consider themselves lucky not to have had to endure a good electromagnetics course featuring the ever-popular Maxwell's equations. Yet with the rising demand for wireless embedded into every electronic product, many of you are wishing you had an RF course or two to fall back on. I have talked with more than a few engineers who have really had to learn RF and wireless related stuff on their own...
