The session was financially sponsored by IEEE WPTCE2024, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S) Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Ad Hoc Committee, as well as the IEEE Power and Electronics Society (PEL-S) WIE, and technically supported by the MTT-S Women in Microwaves (WIM). The event was organized by Prof. Qiaowei Yuan of the Tohoku Institute of Technology, Japan. The primary objective of the session was to underscore the significance of D&I activities for the broad IEEE community, shed light on the ongoing initiatives of the MTT-S and PEL-S, and explore the way forward in the future. Additionally, the aim was to discuss the interconnections among D&I activities and other affinity groups, such as WIM and Young Professionals. Two months before the event, the organizing team conducted a survey on both Google and the WeChat platforms to facilitate broad participation from users worldwide. The session was conducted both online and offline to ensure widespread participation.","PeriodicalId":55023,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Microwave Magazine","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141948343","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the complexity of the transmission line routing between components or between units is rising, with iterative advanced packaging technology improving the interconnection density in integrated circuits (ICs). As a result, multiple signals in a microwave circuits inevitably intersect at one point, and the crossover comes into being.","PeriodicalId":55023,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Microwave Magazine","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141610495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
