Abstract :
Microwave and RF engineers are, by their very nature, experimenters.This experimentation comes in various guises; the traditional definition is the engineer working tirelessly (and often in obscurity) on circuits on the workbench, but other equally valid definitions include playing what-if scenarios with microwave/RF computer-aided design (CAD) input variables or even trying various input parameters to explore the limits of a mathematical theory. Through experimentation,many advances in technology have been found, with new advances being reported each day in the literature.
