Keithley Instruments has co-developed and sponsored the first Weblog, or Blog, designed exclusively for engineers interested in RF and wireless test. The RF Test Weblog keeps visitors abreast of the latest news in the RF and telecom industries through frequent posts of technical and business developments.
Jack Browne, Technical Director of Microwaves & RF, hosts, moderates, and updates items for the RF Test Weblog. "The nature of RF testing is changing constantly, due to emerging applications in commercial and military areas. With the support of Keithley, this Blog gives visitors to the Microwaves & RF Website a quick update on the latest trends and technologies in RF test," says Browne. "The growth of broadband communications is forcing test-equipment suppliers to design and produce new measurement solutions to meet these new test requirements. Just keeping up with the latest test developments is a challenge. We try to make it a little easier to stay informed on RF test with this dedicated Blog. The RF Test Weblog functions as a natural adjunct to our own Website and printed issue of the magazine, allowing engineers to problem-solve with each other."
Visitors to the RF Test Weblog can post responses to particular items or post questions to other Weblog visitors. There is also a link to a literature library and announcement of upcoming meetings and conferences of interest to the RF test and measurement community.
