IEEE Journal of Microwaves (Jan 2021)
Introduction to the Summer 2021 Issue
Abstract
This is an introduction to our Summer, and third issue of the IEEE Journal of Microwaves. We are pleased to bring you ten new technical articles: five invited and five contributed – covering a wide range of microwave topics detailed in the text to follow. We also include two of our continuing series pieces: Microwaves are Everywhere, which for this issue takes a broad look at the origins and applications of radio frequency identification (RFID); and Microwave Pioneers, which highlights the career and uncommon personal choices of Dr. Arye Rosen, who helped open our field to the now ubiquitous cross-disciplinary applications of microwaves in medicine. We are also extremely excited about the start of our new series, Women in Microwaves, which we are coupling to the IEEE History Center, and which details the careers of prominent female scientists and engineers in the microwave community. Our inaugural candidate for this new series is electromagnetics theorist and microwave planar circuits and antennas guru, Professor Linda Katehi, whose personal story will not fail to both interest and inspire you. Also in this introduction, we outline a new reviewing process we are starting up, Journal Club Review, that we hope will contribute to the training of young researchers, as well as add significant numbers of enthusiastic new participants to the ever expanding need for quality peer reviews. With the release of this third issue of IEEE Journal of Microwaves, we hope to cement our fledging following of dedicated authors and readers, and to begin to take our desired place amongst the quality journals hosted by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S).
