The Microchip's MPLAB PICkit4 In-Circuit Programmer (ICSP) should be connected to a PIC MCU as shown in the following diagram. The programmer has 8 pins but only the first 5 pins are used for this connection. The pin number 1 on the programmer can be identified with the arrow symbol on the program as shown below. (PICkit4 Programmer*) Short male-to-male jumper wires can be used to create the 5-wire connection as follows. The programming might be successful without connecting the recommended 50 kohm resistor between the MCLR and VDD pins, but it is a good idea to follow the recommendations. *  The Microchip name and logo, the Microchip logo, MPLAB and PICkit are registered trademarks of Microchip Technology Incorporated in the U.S.A. and other countries.

MDPI Electronics Journal Special Issue "Advanced RF, Microwave, and Millimeter-Wave Circuits and Systems" Deadline for manuscript submissions (extended): 15 August 2023.

Dear Colleagues, RF/microwave circuits and systems play a crucial role in all modern wireless communication and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. It is no exaggeration to claim that not even a single aspect of our lives is untouched by RF/microwave technologies; they are ubiquitous—from the wireless doorbell to keyless entry to our cars, from cooking to industrial heating, from cell phone to computer systems, from medicine to space technologies, they are everywhere. The vast and rapid technological development at many levels (e.g., in semiconductor device technologies, simulation models, component miniaturization, and syst
