Without software, the MMIC, the RFIC, the LTCC, the SoP and SiP would almost certainly not exist and we would not have today's smart phones or smart weapons.

(Around World War II), microwave circuits were heavy and bulky and consisted of voluminous, hollow metallic pipes and tubes known as waveguide. Microwave engineers working in waveguide were referred to as plumbers and their tools included files, ball-peen hammers, epoxy and paint. In the 1960s, planar... http://www.microwavejournal.com/articles/8206 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0400 https://www.microwavejournal.com/articles/8206-how-design-software-changed-the-world The history of our industry is a productive mix of theory and pragmatism. James Clerk Maxwell, a brilliant theoretician, predicted the existence of electromagnetic (EM) waves in a paper presented in 1864, although their form was not the four-equation set used today. James Rautio has penned a more complete... http://www.microwavejournal.com/articles/6525 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0400 https://www.microwavejournal.com/articles/6525-historical-highlights-of-microwaves
