Focus Sessions: The purpose of Focus Sessions is to highlight emerging new technical topics that are gaining importance and may be of significant interest to the microwave community. Focus Sessions encompass a wide range of topics and may involve a specific emerging technology or may cover several technologies that are relevant to a common application.  Example emerging areas of interest include (but are not limited to):

- RF Technologies for smart vehicles and drones
- Personal connectivity and security in PAN, NFC, and PoS Payment links
- Personalized healthcare through wireless sensing and big data
- Ultra low power CMOS and energy scavenging and harvesting designs
- New materials, metamaterials, and 3D printing applications for RF/Microwave
- Advent of low-cost, personal satellites and technologies
- Next Generation 5G, 100+ GBPS wireless, and Internet of Things (IoT)                     

 

Special Sessions: The purpose of Special Sessions is to recognize events of historical significance to the microwave community as well as highlight the technical achievements in a specific technical area, application space or geographical region of the world. Special Sessions may also recognize the life work of an MTT member by honoring their technical and/or service contributions to the microwave community. Examples of Special Sessions may include:

- History of Microwaves in the Bay Area
- 80th anniversary of the Doherty Patent (1936)
- Tribute to a distinguished MTT member
