PROFESSIONAL NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES
One of the most important benefits of being an MTT-S member is the opportunity it provides for volunteer networking. This is especially true for members who choose to volunteer to support publishing and event organizing. Member volunteers gain opportunities to work and cooperate with other technical professionals outside their own organizations. Through event planning they often interact with microwave experts from all over the world. The contacts they make and information they get from these interactions are often extremely valuable to them as they navigate their career in the microwave industry.
Furthermore, the MTT-S Chapter structure allows you to meet with other professionals in your own geographic area and listen to excellent talks delivered by world-leading experts through our Distinguished Microwave Lecturer Program. Chapters organize many other activities and events.
SOCIETY PUBLICATIONS AND EDUCATION ACTIVITIES
Access to all of the Society’s publications. These include both a print and electronic subscription to the award-winning IEEE Microwave Magazine, which includes refereed technical articles of broad interest to the microwave community, focused columns by leading professionals in our field, and news and announcements of events and publications vital to microwave professionals. You also receive electronic access to the full range of Society Journals, including the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory & Techniques, IEEE Microwave & Wireless Components Letters, IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science & Technology, IEEE Journal on Multiscale & Multiphysics Computational Techniques, Journal of Lightwave Technology, IEEE RFID Virtual Journal and the IEEE RFIC Virtual Journal. In addition you have e-access to the MTT-S Conference Digital Library. In addition, MTT-S members are given discounts for overlength charges for journal publications, for instance, $185 per page for papers having one MTT-S member and $230 per page if no author is an MTT-S member for the mandatory overlength page charge for the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques in excess of 7 pages.
MTT-S also provides to its members a Newsletter as well as access to webinars through its Education Activities.
