IEEE MTT-S Paper Translation Project

The MTT ADCOM recently allocated some funds to translate some IEEE Microwave Magazine articles into other languages. The goal of the project is to provide inspiration to students and engineers to learn more about microwaves, and to increase MTT-S visibility with practicing engineers. Currently, some translated articles from the Microwave Magazine are available in Spanish and Chinese.
