Numerical techniques for microwave and millimeter- wave passive structures, edited by Tatsuo Itoh [Book review]

Abstract

As newly-ap ointed AP-S Chapter Activity Chairman, I would li k“ e to thank our past Chairman, Jay Schindler, for his outstanding contributions in supporting all the Chapters. In the last several years, we have experienced growing interest in Chapter activities, as evident from our last year’s activity reports. It is our belief that local Chapters are capable of improving and increasing interest and interaction among the AP-S members. This is primarily achieved by organizing regular meetin s and inviting outstanding speakers, who address techcal areas of current interest to the local members. As a new Chairman, I would like to assist Chapters as much as possible, and I hope that we will be able to effectively serve our members. There are different types of Chapter activities which are available for each Chapter, based on its needs. It is the Chapter officers’ responsibility to bring their Chapter’s needs to my attention. As it was explained in our Chapter officers’ meeting in San Jose, Chapters who request financial support must justify their requests carefully and properly.
