The AMPERE Newsletter

The AMPERE Newsletter appears quarterly and covers short topical articles written by experts in the field. Typically it also includes a profile, conference reports, advertisements, a calendar of events and news items on various aspects of radio frequency and microwave energy usage in the ISM frequency band, covering topics broadly from 1 MHz to 30 GHz, although higher frequencies have also been covered. It also highlights on promising new research developments to emanate from academe and industry.

Issue 37 Issue 37, published in June 2003, contains the following articles and reports. Editor's Comment. Before I forget ... A Personal Historical Perspective of Radio Frequency and Microwave Heating. 9th International Conference on Microwave and High Frequency Heating. News and Events.

Editor's Comments

For the benefit of the new and younger fraternity of AMPERE we have decided to write a series of articles bringing to the fore important events in the past thirty years or so thus tracing the history of Microwave and Radio frequency heating worldwide. It will be written by a few grandees and although there are bound to be overlaps this is beneficial to members in that emphasis will be focussed on different aspects and personalities. Bob Schifmann and Bernie Krieger have already
accepted to contribute similar articles in this series and others will follow.

The next time members will meet is during the Ordinary General Assembly which will take place on the morning of Thursday 4th September during the 9th AMPERE Conference at Loughborough University. I do hope that by the time you read this editorial you would have registered and that if appropriate you would have sent in your paper manuscript. We also print in this issue a draft programme schedule for members to get a feel of the topics and other events taking place. Remember to log on to

for all such details regarding this conference.

May I again remind members that if there is anything they wish to express about AMPERE they can contact me and I can arrange for it to be published in the Newsletter. Your views are eagerly awaited.
