MTT-20 on HF/VHF/UHF Technology [MTT Society News]

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Technical Committee MTT-20 (originally MTT-17) was formed in 1997 to address the needs of some 25,000 RF engineers whose work was primarily at frequencies below 1 GHz. Fritz Raab and Clark Bell presented the idea to the MTT-S Administrative Committee and served as the first chairmen. Prior to the formation of MTT-20, no IEEE Society served the high-, very high-, and ultrahigh-frequency (HF/ VHF/UHF) community. Publications were scattered among many trade conferences and trade journals as there was no place within IEEE to publish on these topics.
