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 38 Issue 38, published in October 2003, contains the following articles and reports. Editor's Comment. A Personal View of the 2003 AMPERE Conference, by José M. Catalá-Civera Wales after the 9th AMPERE Conference, Loughborough, UK. Obituary - Stan Stuchly. News and Events.

Editor's Comments

This is the new look for the AMPERE Newsletter mirroring the changes recently made on our website. I hope the membership approves.

Following the success of the 9th AMPERE Conference at Loughborough University, Jose Catala-Civera writes eloquently about his reminiscences and thoughts regarding this important event. I personally wish to thank Jon Binner and his staff for a well organised event including the well kept surprise of my birthday during the Gala Dinner.

Walter Van Loock contributes an amusing article following his treck into the depths of Wales immediately after the conference ended. Accompanied by his wife Trees, it appears, that even in his spare time he is consumed by microwaves!

It is with great sadness to learn of the death of Stan Stuchly after a long illness. Bob Schiffmann shares with us some reminiscences of Stan who was a very prominent microwave engineer. All our thoughts are with his wife Maria.

Your views and comments are always welcome. Just write to me and I will include these in future issues.
