Antennas and Propagation / Microwave Theory and Techniques Chapter

This is the web pages of the joint Norwegian chapter of IEEE Microwave Theory & Techniques Society and Antennas & Propagation Society. The chapter was started in fall 2003. The intension is to have a social and professional forum for Norwegians with field of interests in microwave theory and techniques, antennas and propagation. This is the first version of the web pages of the Norwegian chapter so any feedback (positive and negative :-) ) would be appreciated.

Marta Martínez-Vázquez was born in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, in 1973. She obtained the Dipl.-Ing. in telecommunications and Ph.D. degree from Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain, in 1997 and 2003, respectively. In 1999 she obtained a fellowship from the Pedro Barrié de la Maza Foundation for postgraduate research at IMST GmbH, in Germany. Since 2000, she is a full-time staff member of the Antennas and EM Modelling department of IMST. Her research interests include the design and applications of antennas for mobile communications, planar arrays and radar sensors, as well as Electromagnetic Bandgap (EBG) materials. Dr. Martínez-Vázquez was awarded the 2004 "Premio Extraordinario de Tesis Doctoral" (Best Ph.D. award) of the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia for her dissertation on small multiband antennas for handheld terminals. She has been a member of the Executive Board of the ACE (Antennas Centre of Excellence) Network of Excellence (2004-2007) and the leader of its activity on small antennas. She is the vice-chair of the COST IC0306 Action “Antenna Sensors and Systems for Information Society Technologies”, and a member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society and of the Technical Advisory Panel for the Antennas and Propagation Professional Network of IET. She is the author of over 50 papers in journals and conference proceedings. Dr. Martínez-Vázquez’s career is an example of the positive results of such coordination programs. She started as an expert participant in COST 260, became a Working Group leader in COST 284, and a member of the Executive Board of ACA, leading the “Small Antennas” activity. Presently, she is the Vice-chair of the COST IC0603 Action.

Spring Meeting May 13. 2011

We are happy to announce that Dr Allen Katz will visit us for the spring meeting May 13 2011 and give a lecture with the topic Linearization: Reducing Distortion in Power Amplifiers.

Dr. Allen Katz is a professor of Electrical/Computer Engineering at The College of New Jersey. He has more than 25 years of experience in the microwave and satellite industries. He received a Doctorate of Science and Baccalaureate degrees in Electrical Engineering from New Jersey Institute of Technology and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Rutgers University. His work spans the frequency range from UHF to light and has involved both hybrid and MMIC circuits including the design of the first practical MMIC linearizer. He is founder and President of Linearizer Technology, Inc., a New Jersey based company dedicated to distortion correction that now includes Linear Photonics, LLC and Linear Space Technology, LLC. Dr. Katz is a Fellow of the IEEE and a past Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT) Society Distinguished Lecturer.
