The IEEE recently announced its newly elevated Fellows for 2016. The IEEE Grade of Fellow is conferred by the Board of Directors upon a person with an extraordinary record of accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest. The total number selected in any one year does not exceed one-tenth of one percent of the total voting Institute membership. Each new Fellow receives a nicely matted and framed certificate with the name of the Fellow and a brief citation describing the accomplishment, a congratulatory letter from the incoming IEEE president and a gold sterling silver Fellow lapel pin. Some notable recipients in our industry include Ajay Poddar of Synergy Microwave Corporation Paterson, NJ, for contributions to microwave oscillators; Terry Cisco, Raytheon (Retired)/consultant, Glendale, CA, for leadership in the development of airborne active array transmit and receive module technologies; and Jian-Guo Ma, Tianjin University, Tianjin, China for leadership in microwave electronics and RFIC applications. Here is a complete list of the 2016 IEEE Fellows:
