MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES SOCIETY SIGHT
from MHz (MegaHertz) To THz (TeraHertz)
An initiative by IEEE MTT-S Special Interest Group on Global Humanitarian Technology (SIGHT) group
MISSION
MTT-S recognizes the roles and responsibilities that we have
outside our professional lives. We are all residents / citizens
of the town or city that we live in, and of the country that
we live in.. As an international organization, it is our duty to
be part of the solution by working together with others in
multi-disciplinary teams to achieve results that we ourselves
cannot do alone. MTT-S SIGHT focuses to motivate high
school students, young engineers and professionals, to
applying the low cost innovative microwave technology for
disaster readiness, and humanitarian need
