Our Secret Code [MicroBusiness]

IEEE Microwaves Magazine -

I was recently a guest at a meeting and during a break was introduced to someone. “He chairs the ILC” I was told. I should have asked for clarification because I had no idea what ILC meant. Instant Lunch Committee? Eventually I figured out that it was an acronym for Industry Liaison Committee.

IEEE Microwaves Magazine -

IEEE has many committees and boards involved in its operation and governance. One such board is the IEEE Member and Geographic Activities Board (MGA Board), not to be confused with the MGA Committee, which is within the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) structure.

Joining Hands With Other IEEE Societies and Councils [President’s Column]

IEEE Microwaves Magazine -

As you probably know, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) is part of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The IEEE is the largest professional association for electronics and electrical engineering in the world, and includes 39 technical societies and seven technical councils, representing a wide range of IEEE technical interests. The MTT-S consistently ranks among the largest IEEE societies, usually the fifth or sixth largest in terms of membership, and its prominence underscores not just the size of our discipline, but the significant standing and positive reputation of our community within the IEEE.

Research by Women in Microwaves [From the Guest Editor’s Desk]

IEEE Microwaves Magazine -

Since its inaugural issue in 2022, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) has each year published a focus issue on research by women in microwaves in IEEE Microwave Magazine. These focus issues highlight scientific articles by female researchers and spotlight their research. Through these focus issues, we hope to bring attention to these female researchers and their publications. From the perspective of gender science, we aim to undo/redo gender, counteracting the still-existing unconscious gender and publication biases [1], [2].

Electricity and Magnetism [Microwave Surfing]

IEEE Microwaves Magazine -

James Clerk Maxwell’s Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism was published in 1873. Last year, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the publication of this foundational work, the IEEE Foundation hosted a webinar [2] “James Clerk Maxwell’s Ether: From Wave Optics to the Electromagnetic Theory of Light” by Daniel Jon Mitchell, Senior Historian at the IEEE History Center. The hour-long presentation was recorded and may be viewed at [2]. The website also lists a number of useful resources.

Microwave Subsurface Imaging, Sensing, and Nondestructive Testing Using Metamaterial-Inspired Planar Sensors: Microwave Imaging Using Metamaterial-Inspired Planar Sensors

IEEE Microwaves Magazine -

In the early 1940s, electromagnetic (EM) waves in the RF and microwave frequency range were used to transmit messages between New York and Philadelphia [1]. Telecom operators and broadcasters immediately adopted this method because it made data transmission quite easy. Today, recent advances in satellite, cellular, and fiber-optic communication have significantly increased the data delivery rate. In the telecommunications industry, large numbers of RF and microwave technologies integrated with digital transmission have now been adopted. Meanwhile, RF and microwave technologies have also been extensively utilized for non-telecommunications applications, including the imaging and sensing of objects and structures of arbitrary shapes and dimensions. The process of using RF technology for imaging and sensing applications arises from the fact that microwaves can penetrate objects to provide valuable information.
