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
