Could Quantum Computing Change Radio and Antenna Designs? Here is a forward-looking technology question for SARC members: could quantum computing eventually change the way engineers design radios, antennas, filters, and digital communication systems? IBM and several research partners recently reported three quantum-computing results that they say reached beyond leading classical methods while adding new ways …

Understanding Electromagnetic Waves Here is a useful physics idea for Schaumburg Amateur Radio Club (SARC) members: every on-air contact begins with an electromagnetic wave. Voice, continuous wave (CW) Morse code, and digital signals all depend on radio-frequency (RF) energy traveling from a transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna. Understanding that path makes frequency, wavelength, polarization, …
