I am currently reading a paper on characterization of ultra-wideband antennas. I am amused by this paper because the authors of this particular paper have chosen to not use the words transmit and receive. Instead, they refer to the transmit and receive antennas using abbreviations.
Transmit = TX
Receive = RX
And yet, every time I see those abbreviations, I keep wondering why they’re talking about Texas and prescription medication.
Oh yes, and UWB (ultra-wideband) is the University of Washington, Bothell.
I also blog at Engineer Blogs, home away from home to some of the best engineering blogs.
