Surface acoustic waves (SAW) in dynamic magnonic crystals (DMC) are considered for their use to create tunable spin-wave gadgets for processing of microwave signals. To understand the principles of operation of the proposed gadgets, the necessary basic properties of DMC created by a SAW in the structure of "yttrium iron garnet film on a substrate of gallium gadolinium garnet" are given. The prototype of the unique nonreciprocal notch filter working in the range of 3600-4100 MHz at the biasing magnetic field of 640 Oe is fabricated and its main characteristics such as dependences of the frequency and the depth of rejection pits on the frequency and power of the controlling SAW are measured. At the frequency of SAW of 41 MHz and power of 30 mW, the depth of the rejection pit reached 23 dB, the tunable shift of the notch frequency equaled to 7 MHz for a frequency change of SAW by 1 MHz. DMC with SAW may also be used for frequency shifting and modulation of microwave signals. Two configurations of prototypes of frequency shifting devices have been suggested, fabricated and their workability was shown experimentally.

The testing and modeling of semiconductor devices are the foundation of circuit design. The issue of high-power device testing urgently needs to be solved as the power level of the devices under test (DUTs) increases. This work proposes advanced measurement methods based on three aspects of "measuring capability, security, and stability" with a focus on the features of high output power, easy self-oscillation in mismatch tests, and safety risk in the measurement system of high-power transistors.

In the burgeoning field of spintronics, antiferromagnetic materials (AFMs) are attracting significant attention for their potential to enable ultra-fast, energy-efficient devices. Thin films of AFMs are particularly promising for practical applications due to their compatibility with spin-orbit torque (SOT) mechanisms. However, studying these thin films presents challenges, primarily due to the weak signals they produce and the rapid dynamics driven by SOT, that are too fast for conventional electric transport or microwave techniques to capture.

In the present study, dispersive solid phase extraction - hydride generation integrated with micro-sampling gas-liquid separator - flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed to determine lead in lake water samples taken in the Horseshoe Island, Antarctica. In scope of this study, microwave assisted NiFeO nanoparticles were synthesized, and the characterization of nanoparticles were carried out by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. All influential parameters of dispersive solid phase extraction and hydride generation were optimized to enhance signal intensity belonging to the analyte.

This work investigates the impact of rainfall on cellular communication links, leveraging smartphone-collected measurements. While existing studies primarily focus on line-of-sight (LoS) microwave propagation environments, this work explores the impact of rainfall on typical signal metrics over cellular links when the LoS path is not guaranteed. We examine both small-scale and large-scale variations in signal measurements across dry and rainy days, considering diverse locations and time windows.

Radio photonic technologies have emerged as a promising solution for addressing microwave frequency synthesis challenges in current and future communication and sensing systems. One particularly effective approach is the optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), a simple and cost-effective electro-optical system. The OEO can generate microwave signals with low phase noise and high oscillation frequencies, often outperforming traditional electrical methods.
