Featured MTT-S Chapters

IEEE MTT-S MGA is pleased to announce the launch of a new column, “Featured MTT-S Chapters,” in IEEE Microwave Magazine starting June 2025.

This column will serve as the primary venue to highlight the activities of our remarkable chapters in a different region every month and to reach a wider audience. We cordially invite all our officers to submit their chapter events and overviews to share their impact broadly with the rest of the MHz-to-THz community.

On behalf of our chapters, MTT-S members, and all RF enthusiasts, we extend our sincere gratitude to Dietmar Kissinger, the Chair of the IEEE MTT-S MGA committee, and Robert Caverly, the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Microwave Magazine, for their immediate support and continual guidance.

To submit your contributions or request more information, please contact the column editor: damla.dimlioglu@ieee.org

IEEE Boston MTT/AP-S Joint Chapter: Keeping the Boston Hub Dynamic

IEEE MTT/AP-S Boston Joint Chapter is the first to be featured from Region 1 in Microwave Magazine!

Greater Boston is well known as a hub for microwave and antenna engineering. Because of the depth and breadth of expertise, research, and development activities that can be found in the region, it is further home to more than 700 students and 8,000 IEEE Members in a 50-mile radius as well as to a large number of world-class corporations, organizations, and universities.

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society Chapter has been operating continuously for approximately 15 years with regular elections and officer turnover, indicating healthy interest not just in the events but in service to the community as well. In September 2024, a merger with the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Chapter was completed in recognition of the common skills and interests of the two Societies. The Joint Chapter maintains its goal of hosting events roughly every other month, in a variety of formats and locations, to maximize its reach across all potential audiences.

Multidisciplinary Promise to MTT-S From Bordeaux

This month, we feature a student branch Chapter in Region 8: the Bordeaux Electrical Engineering Student Branch, a community of students active in many different areas of electrical and electronics engineering. The strongly multidisciplinary composition, with a large number of active members each year, renders this unit an interesting reality in the beautiful city of Bordeaux, France.

The BEE Branch was created in 2014 and has continuously developed its activities. It represents the diversity of topics of the Bordeaux Campus with nine active chapters: Microwave Theory and Technology, Antennas and Propagation, Circuits and Systems, Solid-State Circuits, Aerospace and Electronic Systems, Engineering in Medicine and Biology, Instrumentation and Measurements, Signal Processing, and Control Systems. The BEE Branch has a solid and regular membership of about 50 members each year, with an executive committee to secure the activities of each Chapter.

Microwave Hub in Balkans: Serbia and Montenegro MTT-S Chapter

IEEE Serbia and Montenegro MTT-S Chapter is the first from Region 8 to be featured in Microwave Magazine!

This article provides an in-depth look at the Serbia and Montenegro MTT-S Chapter, touching on its history, key activities, and future directions. The Serbia and Montenegro MTT-S Chapter is a dedicated branch of the MTT-S, focused on contributing to the personal and professional growth of the local community and advancing microwave theory, technology, and applications in the region. Established in 1989, it is now a medium-sized Chapter with most members being located in four university centers: three in Serbia (the University of Belgrade, the University of Niš, and the University of Novi Sad) and one in Montenegro (University of Podgorica). At the moment, among approximately 40 members, there is one IEEE Fellow, one Life Senior Member, and nine Senior Members. Exactly 40% of the Chapter members are female members.

The Chapter is actively engaged in a variety of activities, including the organization of some important international conferences, prestigious technical lectures, Women in Microwave events, and several initiatives for young researchers and students, including those at the high school level.
