Nesting isn’t just for Birds, Nested Enclosures Help to Determine Shielding Effectiveness!
The determination of the Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of a material at high frequencies/small wavelengths can give large variations in results based on the testing method employed. One of the methods used to get more consistent results is to use a "nested" testing chamber, meaning a testing chamber is divided by a shielded wall across the middle of the chamber, with a window/hole in it. On the receiving side, there is no mode stirring and the antenna is set up to...

Space Force Moves into a New Era, Partnering with Private Companies for Defense
The Space Force is smaller than the other military forces and will be very much more "technology dependent" in order to accomplish its mission of protecting the military on the ground by monitoring events occurring on earth from space. Much of the Space Force's mission will be accomplished with the use of satellites. The Space Force is planning to follow the lead of NASA, by partnering with private businesses that are already involved in the aerospace field like SpaceX and...

Humans and Machines both Need Testing before they Can Work Together in Groups!
Just as the Medical Profession currently struggles with the testing difficulties of determining the presence of a COVID-19 infection or antibodies to determine the presence of this serious condition before people can resume their normal social lives, Electronic Engineers must struggle to locate and eliminate RFI (Radio Frequency Interference) and EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) which can impede their new components from working smoothly with other system components before they can safely bring them together as a team. EMI, has been defined as...

Making Technology Strides and Preserving Natural Beauty, a Great Combination!
How valuable is satellite-provided broadband internet to the world? Is it worth those platoons of satellites providing the internet eclipsing the "view" of deep space objects from our research telescopes, which prefer darkness and radio silence for optimum performance? At this time there are at least 800 Low-Earth-Orbit satellites in space, ranging from the size of a table (SpaceX) to the size of a sandwich (Swarm Technologies) and a grand total of 2,218 satellites orbiting the earth currently. The FCC,...

Fly Me to the Moon….with the Least Amount of Interference Possible!
NASA has announced that its next moonshot will be a joint public-private project called Next Space Technologies for Exploration Project (NextSTEP). Eleven United States companies are being asked for help in designing the spacecraft systems that will facilitate the successful completion of this project. This project will culminate with the first woman and next man to walk on the moon arriving there in 2024. A portion of their work will be funded by NASA, and the companies will be expected...
