On 29 and 30 October, the RF & Microwave TPN ran two seminars; RF Active & Passive components and 5G Technology – the future of mobile and wireless communications technology. During the TPN committee’s summer meeting they established that there was some potential overlap in the audience and should therefore run the seminars together in order to boost delegates numbers and networking opportunities. It also saved volunteer time and expenses by requiring them to travel just once.



Active & Passive components


 


The RF Active & Passive components seminar attracted around 40 delegates who watched 9 presentations showcasing the latest research from industry and academia. The papers which were presented will be published through the Digital Library. You can see the presentation from new committee member Gavin Watkins online. Papers will soon be available through INSPEC and you can see the proceedings on MyCommunity.
