Keeping it short and sweet, as I was shown round a surface mount technology assembly line, the guy asked me before stepping forward if I have a pace maker. I said no, he quickly explained one of their colleagues finds it interferes with him being near the line because of the magnetic fields. But what would it do to me as an operator for 40 hours a week? What effect would it be having on me?

I get that this sounds like a tin foil hat question but im genuinely curious. Many thanks

I am working on a project and am looking for any engineers who have had to deal with thermal analysis on high frequency signal circuitry. I am designing an enclosure for a circuit that deals with signals in the GHz range. If anyone has any suggestions or has worked with anything similar let me know. The power is relatively low at 1 W and I am confused if I should focus more on insulating the casing so it doesn't change temperatures with the ambient temperature (it will be operating at room temp) or if I should be focusing on using heat sinks to allow any heat from the circuit to leave?

Hey! I love antennas, and want to pursue a Masters in the US to learn more on RF and antennas. I’m from the US. The problem is that, I used to be a horrible student and did not care about my courses. I failed Electromagnetics 1 a year ago inconveniently (I didn’t go to the final exam..)

I ended up finally locking in and did great in antennas, RFIC, circuits. After that I even did an antennas internship. Now I have a year left to graduate with a GPA of 3.0, a willingness to learn and get a Masters.

I’m retaking Electromagnetics right now but Masters applications are also happening now, and universities will see that I’ve failed it.

Any advice? Should I give up on a Masters? Is it possible to get in at a school that’s decent at antennas?

Hey everyone, wanting to simulate MCROS in ADS (Keysight) with width over 7mm I used FEM simulation. Going back and forth between normal ADS and FEM I noticed that results are very different. I decided to simply compare normal MLIN with emModel from FEM simulation. As shown on pictures results S21 differ around 7 degrees at 3GHz, which is in my opinion a lot. (I also lowered Delta error in FEM to 0.003.) Am I doing something wrong or is it normal? Thanks for any help.
