Misuse of Return Loss
May 19, 2009. Perhaps over 30% of all antenna papers submitted
to the Transactions in the past twelve months have used return loss
incorrectly. This misuse of the term is occurring in other allied
disciplines as well. For passive structures, return loss is a positive
quantity and has the opposite sign of reflection coefficient expressed
in dB. Read the full story.
Submission of Final Manuscripts Via ScholarOne
May 6, 2009. The final submission of accepted manuscripts is now via ScholarOne Manuscript (previously called Manuscript Central). From now on authors should submit their final material via ScholarOne Manuscript. The process is described in the decision email when a paper is accepted.
