“…An inspiring experience that partially motivated this particular MTT-S membership outreach took place in September 2014, when the RF and microwave community in Mexico was addressed by a set of e nthusiastic MTT-S delegates [1]. By that time, Mexico already had several RF and microwave educational programs and research groups [2], [3], [4], [5] as well as a small number of MTT-S members and just a single MTT-S Chapter [1]. That initiative led to a significant growth of MTT-S membership in Mexico and the creation of two additional MTT-S Chapters [1], and a few years later, it resulted in the first edition of the MTT-S Latin America Microwave Conference (LAMC), held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, in December 2016 [6].…”
