IEEE Milestones in Antennas and Propagation

Since its inception in 1983, the IEEE Milestones program has become IEEE's most valuable intangible asset. As of the end of 2023,270 Milestones have been approved and dedicated. At present, however, relatively few existing Milestones fall within the field of interest of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. Here we review these existing Milestones, identify gaps and omissions, and propose a strategy by which the Antennas and Propagation Committee can increase the number of Milestones relevant to the society while remaining true to the program's goal of being a grassroots movement.
