About our Journal:
Microwaves both documents and celebrates the Renaissance we are living through in microwave technology and applications. Spanning a wavelength range of more than six decades — from 30 meters to 30 micrometers, MHz to THz — microwave devices are ubiquitous today. They are the glue that binds our social networks, crossing disciplines as diverse as communications and cooking, and appearing in everything from millimeter-square silicon chips to hundred-meter-square tokamaks, at power levels from nanowatts to gigawatts. Nearly a century and a half in continuous development, they now infiltrate almost every aspect of our lives — unseen, unheard, often unnoticed. No longer.
This journal is both a celebration of microwave technology’s successful integration into our world, and a call to arms. Microwave engineering needs converts. It is not dull, and its discoveries did not end in the 1950s — we are on a growth trajectory beyond anything imaginable even ten years ago, and this expansion will only continue.
Going forward, Microwaves will highlight the science, technology, applications, and accomplishments of researchers in our field, through rigorously peer-reviewed papers spanning its full range of disciplines. It will also serve as an archival teaching platform, carrying invited reviews and topical reports our editors deem essential reading, along with news, opinion, and perspective on our community’s advances. And it will anchor our field to the past while catapulting us into the future, through historic perspectives, biographies, and interviews in ongoing series: Microwave Pioneers, Microwaves are Everywhere, Women in Microwaves, and Breakthroughs in Microwaves.
On behalf of the IEEE, the Microwave Theory and Technology Society, our editors and reviewers, and myself as founding Editor-in-Chief: I invite you to embrace this new model for disseminating and archiving our field’s work, and I implore you to support it through your contributions and readership.
