Abstract :
The annual IEEE International Microwave Symposium was held in Detroit, Michigan, on May 20-22, 1968. This important meeting of our professional group serves as the basis of stimulating and disseminating new techniques in the microwave field. This year??s meeting was the first to be held in the Midwest and was hosted by the Southeastern Michigan chapter of the professional group; the registered attendance was 493. The three-day program included several outstanding presentations. This year´s attendance at the 1968 G-MTT International Symposium was large despite the general economic problem affecting research and developmental advances in our profession. However, it is felt that this year´s symposium was a technical success and provided the professional and stimulating atmosphere which initiates, fosters, and promulgates new microwave ideas for the future.
