75th ARFTG Conference Highlights
Ken Wong, Conference Chair

Since its inception in 1972, the Automatic RF Techniques Group (ARFTG) has worked to create a constructive forum and voice for the community of RF and microwave test engineers--both test instrumentation end users and vendors alike. Through its various conferences, workshops and training courses, the organization endeavors to keep its 600+ members worldwide up to date on the latest developments in test and measurement techniques.

Nowhere is this educational mission more evident than at the upcoming 75th ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference, which is scheduled to take place in Anaheim, CA, on May 28, 2010. Here, colleagues, experts and vendors in the RF and microwave test and measurement community will have the opportunity to meet face-to-face to discuss ongoing developments and the similar challenges they each face.
