Graphene Infused Most Sensitive Microwave Sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/graphene-infused-most-sensitive-microwave-sensor/
A new microwave radiation sensor with the sensitivity of up to 1 single photon, has been developed by research funded by the US Army and various pristine universities. This sensor is a microwave bolometer that can improve thermal imaging, radio communications, and RADAR by 100,000 times. The Army, in part, funded the work to fabricate this bolometer by taking advantage of […]
SocioNext MN87900 is a Single-Chip 24 GHz Radio Wave Sensor for the Internet of Things
https://www.electronics-lab.com/socionext-mn87900-single-chip-24-ghz-radio-wave-sensor-internet-things/
The Socionext MN87900 from Socionext is a powerful and low-power single-chip microwave sensor at 24GHz with sophisticated sensing capabilities like motion detection, speed and direction detection and so many, that can quickly find applications in the Internet of Things sensing applications. Unlike PIR sensors like the popular HR-SR501 that can detect motion to about 3 […]
Teardown and experiments with a Doppler microwave transceiver
https://www.electronics-lab.com/teardown-experiments-doppler-microwave-transceiver/
Kerry Wong did a teardown of Microsemi’s C900502 X-band planar transceiver: I got a couple of Microsemi’s C900502 10.525 GHz X-band Doppler radar motion sensors a while ago. This batch was made in UK and had “UK patents 2243495 and/or 2253108 apply” printed on the case. I have seen a teardown of an HB100 Doppler […]

On-Chip Microwave Laser
https://www.electronics-lab.com/chip-microwave-laser/
Lasers are everywhere these days: at the checkout in the supermarket, in the CD player in the lounge – and quantum researchers need them to test qubits in the (future) quantum computers. For most applications, today’s large, inefficient lasers are a perfectly adequate solution, but quantum systems operate on a very small scale and at […]
Teardown and analysis of microwave (26.5GHz) electro-mechanical step attenuators
https://www.electronics-lab.com/teardown-analysis-microwave-26-5ghz-electro-mechanical-step-attenuators/
Teardown and analysis of microwave (26.5GHz) electro-mechanical step attenuators from The Signal Path: In this short episode Shahriar takes a close look at a pair of Hewlett Packard microwave electro-mechanical step attenuators operating up to 26.5GHz. Mechanical attenuators offer excellent repeatability, low insertion loss and nearly limitless linearity. The teardown reveals that the construction of […]
