Distinguished Microwave Lecturers
The Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, in conjunction with the technical coordinating committees, each year carefully selects a group of Distinguished Microwave Lecturers who are recognized experts in their fields.
The lecturers are available to present talks to MTT-S chapters world-wide. MTT-S provides a budget to help defray travel expenses, while chapters usually cover local expenses such as meals. Chapters are strongly encouraged to take full advantage of this unique resource. MTT-Chapters or Student Chapters desiring to schedule a DML Talk in 2018, need to complete DML Request Form. The Form can be received from MGA Regional Coordinator or TCC Administrator. Before the end of 2017, DMLs will receive Talk Assignments for 2018. They will contact Chapters to arrange time of Talks.
Instructions for Completing DML Talk Request Form are available here
2018 MTT-Chapter -DML Talk Request Form is available here
