Conference: Student Paper Competition at the 2001 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium to be held in Phoenix, AZ on May 20-25, 2001.

本项目要求为参加2001年IEEE MTT-S国际微波研讨会（IMS）学生论文竞赛的24名美国大学参与者提供差旅支持。IMS是电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）微波理论与技术学会（MTT-S）的年度会议。IMS也是微波领域的主要国际研讨会和无线通信研究成果的焦点。2001年IMS将于2001年5月20日至25日在美国亚利桑那州凤凰城举行。每年，微波理论与技术学会通过多种机制促进学生在微波理论和技术方面的教育。其中最重要的是IMS的学生论文比赛。这个精选项目将世界上最优秀的学生聚集在一起，在一个综合项目中，他们不仅向技术观众展示他们的作品，还向一组评委展示他们的作品。该项目有助于培养学生的技术敏锐度以及他们的沟通和演讲技巧。它还有助于将他们介绍给国际技术社区，并帮助建立一个将领导下一代微波工程师的学生社区。IMS提供各种形式的财政支持，但不报销差旅费。NSF提供的旅行支持将确保该项目对来自美国大学的最广泛的感兴趣的申请人开放。

0099341PapapolymerouThis project requests travel support for 24 participants from U.S. universities in the Student Paper Competition at the 2001 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS). The IMS is the annual meeting of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE). The IMS is also the major international symposium in the microwave field and a focus of research results in wireless telecommunications. The 2001 IMS will be held in Phoenix, AZ, USA on May 20-25, 2001.Each year, the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society promotes student education in microwave theory and techniques through a number of mechanisms. One of the most important is the Student Paper Competition at the IMS. This selective program brings the world's best students together in an integrated program in which they present their work not only to a technical audience but again to a group of judges. The program helps develop the students' technical acumen as well as their communication and presentation skills. It also helps introduce them to the international technical community and helps to build a community of students who will lead the next generation of microwave engineers.The IMS provides financial support of various forms but does not reimburse travel expenses. Travel support from NSF will ensure that the program is open to the widest range of interested applicants from U.S. universities.
