The MTT-S Technical Areas: Striving for Scientific Excellence [President’s Column]

The field of interest of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) encompasses components and systems operating in the frequency range from megahertz to terahertz. Specifically, MTT-S interests include the theory and applications of radio waves and guided-wave and wireless technologies (comprising nanostructures, devices, integrated circuits, multicircuit assemblies, components, packages, transmission lines, and subsystems) as well as systems involving the generation, amplification, processing, modulation, control, transmission, reception, detection, demodulation, and effects of electromagnetic energy transport. Additionally, they include the interaction and interface of microwave signals with digital and optical circuitry and interconnecting transmission media.
