[Webinar] HPM-Specific Antenna Issues

Presented by Alan Salari
April 3

While most antenna engineering focuses on communications and radar signals with known power and frequency requirements, High Power Electromagnetic (HPEM) systems present a design challenge with non-cooperative targets and starkly different criteria for "success." Therefore, the optimal design space presents with substantial differences relative to conventional antenna engineering and merits attention to specific details and solutions. This talk will provide a survey level overview of how HPEM antenna requirements differ from those of more conventional communications or radar systems and how the current state of the art attempts to address these issues.

[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.
