Getting into Microwaves and the MTT-S [Presidents' Column

Abstract

In this final “President's Column” as I end of my term as president of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S), I have cause to reflect on how I became a microwave engineer and on the role the MTT-S has played in my career and the careers of my colleagues. Perhaps the most important functions of the Society are the MTT-S Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML) program, our conferences, and our publications. All of these contributed to my career, and I hope they are doing the same in yours.
