Student Paper Competition at the 2007 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium will be held on June 3-8, 2007 in Honolulu, HI.

ECCS-0733133E。这个项目请求为5名学生提供旅费，以参加2007年IEEE MTO-S国际微波研讨会(IMS)。IEEE微波理论与技术学会是一个国际性的学会，在全球拥有9000多名会员和80个分会。该学会促进了微波理论及其应用的进步，包括射频、微波、毫米波和太赫兹技术。该学会2007年的首要会议--国际微波研讨会将于6月3-8日在HI火奴鲁鲁举行。会议的特点是一个大型贸易展以及各种技术论文和讲习班。这项提议的学术价值体现在来自微波界的创新想法上，其中许多想法是在会议上进行的演讲、讲习班和讨论中开始的。通过支持这些有前途的年轻学生研究人员的存在，NSF保证了一个充满活力和创新的微波社区在未来几十年里。IMS是微波领域的主要国际研讨会，也是无线通信领域研究成果的焦点。过去几年的平均出席人数超过10,000人。这项提案资助的学生将接触到经过高质量同行选择过程的技术演示。这些旅行补助金的更广泛影响是它采取了鼓励美国学生追求微波工程的步骤。通过鼓励妇女和代表性不足的少数民族，微波工程领域带来了亟需的多样性。由此产生的不同背景和观点的注入可以极大地鼓励创新想法和研究方向。

ECCS-0733133E. Bryerton, IEEE This project requests travel support for 5 students to attend the 2007 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS). The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) is an international society with more than 9,000 members and 80 chapters worldwide. The society promotes the advancement of microwave theory and its applications, including RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz technologies. The Society's premier conference, the International Microwave Symposium, for 2007 will held in Honolulu, HI on June 3-8. The Conference features a large trade show as well as a wide variety of technical papers and workshops. The intellectual merit of this proposal is evidenced by the innovative ideas that have originated from the microwave community and many of which had their beginnings in presentations, workshops, and discussions held at meeting. By supporting the presence of these promising young student researches, the NSF guarantees a vibrant and innovative microwave community for decades to come. The IMS is the major international symposium in the microwave field and a focus of research results in wireless telecommunications. The average attendance for the past several years has been over 10,000 attendees. The students funded by this proposal will be exposed to technical presentations which have been subjected to a high-quality peer selection process.The broader impact of these travel grants is the steps it takes to encourage the pursuit of microwave engineering by U.S. students. By encouraging women and underrepresented minorities, much needed diversity is brought to the microwave engineering field. The resulting infusion of differing backgrounds and viewpoints can greatly encourage innovative ideas and research directions.
