European Microwave Conference

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Microwave Conference ( English European Microwave Conference , in short: EUMC ) is an international scientific conference . It is dedicated to all aspects of microwave technology .

history

The first European Microwave Conference was held in London in 1969 . At that time it was still abbreviated as EMC and initially only took place every other year in late summer. The second European Microwave Conference followed in Stockholm in 1971 and the third in Brussels in 1973 . Since EMC can be confused with the abbreviation of the technical term Electromagnetic Compatibility for electromagnetic compatibility , it has been changed. From 1974 onwards, the European Microwave Conference under the new abbreviation “EuMC”, which is still valid today, has become an annual event that is held in the early years in the first week of September and now at the beginning of October. Major European cities, not infrequently capitals, served as the venue. The only non-European venue in 1997 was Jerusalem .

From 1998, the then already 28 European Microwave Conference in the wider context within the newly formed was European Microwave Week ( European Microwave Week , in short EuMW ) further along with two conferences, the GaAs and Wireless instead. From then on, the conference focused on Germany, France, Great Britain, Italy and the Netherlands, which are particularly important for the microwave industry, and from then on - with the exception of Germany - mostly took place in their capitals (see also venues ).

The International Microwave Symposium held there annually by the IEEE can be seen as a counterpart to the EuMC in the United States .
