This issue celebrates Radio & Wireless Week for 2025. And it is a big issue with five features, a Student Design Competition Winner, columns all about Radio & Wireless Week and a regular set of columns. As soon as you can check out the Editor’s Desk to learn more about the issue and From the Guest Editor’s Desk to learn more about the main event.</p> <p>The features in this issue really show off the diversity of microwave engineering. We have more traditional features on microstrip transitions and mm-Wave power amplifiers, but we also have the evolution of microwaves with aircraft control from space, monitoring heartbeats, 3D printing 30 GHz antennas and the evolution of vector network analyzers from analog to digitally sampled DSP. It is a great time to be in microwave engineering as we have lots of work for programmers and hardware people.</p> <p>Get all of the latest on Radio & Wireless Week here with ten columns on the conference and accompanying activities. It will be a big week for microwaves in Puerto Rico. We have five conferences, an IoT Summit , workshops, and an honoring of distinguished women in microwaves. Can you believe that ARFTG is having its 104th conference?</p> <p>As much excitement as there is in this issue for Radio & Wireless Week we also have our regular columns. Our President’s Column covers lessons learned. Each President of our society comes in with years of experience on the administrative committee but only one year to make an impact. Learn about lessons from this past year.</p> <p>We have lots of information about what has been happening in our society. In our MTT-S Society News column we learn about what goes on in our technical committee on Biological Effects and Medical Applications and what is happening at our Polytechnique Montreal Student Branch. Our MGA News covers the visit of our MTT-S President to Kolkata in 2023. The evolution of our monolithic microwave IC conferences to the current SiRF (Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems) conference is covered in our Conference Report.</p> <p>And we have a new column: Re:Industry. This first installment is an interview where you can learn more about starting a company and the potential MTT-S relationship with new companies. Also in our thinking columns in this issue is MicroBusiness. This column tackles how many things evolve to grow together and that can be a good thing. We have another new column: Microwave Spectrum Policy. Check it out to learn about spectrum allocations in different countries and how the decisions get made. New widgets are always fun to learn about. Our New Products column covers everything from a new 0.1 micron pHEMT process to wearable sensors. We have heard a lot about Poincaré in our Enigmas, etc. column but in this issue our Educator’s Corner takes us deep into Poincaré land. Finally our Enigmas, etc. column gives us the solution to last month’s quiz and an application of our R-X plane.</p> <p>As always, check out the Conference Calendar, there is something happening almost every month in 2025.</p> <p>Alfy Riddle<br /> Quanergy Solutions</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cell small-12 publication-sidebar"> <h4 class="bordered publication-sidebar__heading">Current issue</h4> <div class="publication-sidebar__content publication-issue"> <div class="publication-issue__picture"> <img src="https://mtt.org/app/uploads/2024/12/Dec2024_Cover-390x533.png" alt="" class="publication-issue__image"> </div> <div class="publication-issue__content"> <h6 class="publication-issue__title">December 2024 Issue</h6> <div class="publication-issue__button text-right"> <a href="https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?isnumber=10744611" class="button small">Read More</a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cell small-12 publication-content publication-content--sections"> <div class="publication-content__desc"> <h4 class="bordered publication-content__heading">About the journal</h4> <div class="publication-content__text"> <p>The IEEE Microwave Magazine is published monthly, with the IMS Special issue in April or May, and an RWW Supplement delivered with the December issue. The Microwave Magazine focuses on the publication of general interest review, tutorial, and survey papers rather than new research.</p> <p>Most issues of the Microwave Magazine include a “focus section,” in which the technical features are invited by the guest editor, who is an acknowledged expert in the focus topic. The magazine also contains submitted technical articles, either as features or application notes. The technical content of the magazine is about 55 pages per issue, consisting of 4-5 feature articles and 1-2 application notes. Additionally, the magazine contains a number of regular columns, as well as editorial and news items.</p> <p>The magazine has won two international awards for technical art from the Society for Technical Communication. The current impact factor for IEEE Microwave Magazine is 3.6 (2023). The magazine welcomes review, tutorial, and survey manuscripts in all topics of interest to the microwave engineering community; the time from submission to publication is under 26 weeks.
