Abstract :
The IEEE Virtual Museum (VM) has launched a new exhibit, “Microwaves: From Your Kitchen to the Edges of the Universe.” The exhibit highlights the ways microwave technology impacts daily life and, like all VM exhibits, explains how the technology works and fits into historical and social contexts. “Microwaves” was sponsored by, and largely written by, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society.
