Background: IEEE Atlanta AP/MTT recently received a grant to run RF Basic Workshops with affordable RF kits for two years. This workshop will serve as our kickoff workshop, guiding young undergraduate students through usage of vector network analyzers (VNAs) with a pre-planned hands-on activity. The world of RF is vast and stems to various technical and research fields. It is important to give young engineers early hands-on experience and exposure to basic RF concepts. Who can participate? We are looking for volunteers with basic circuits/RF/wireless comms experience to help lead groups of 4-6 students on how to use a vector network analyzer (VNA) and explain fundamental RF concepts based on our planned hands-on activity of characterizing antennas and sensing material properties. The lesson plan/guide will be provided before the activity! (This will also help the volunteers get a RF refresher themselves.) Note, the volunteer does not have to be a member of AP-S or MTT-S to participate. (Any emag/RF/wireless enthusiast is welcomed!) Where and When? Date/Time: February 25, 2026 (Wednesday, 6:00-8:30PM) Location: 777 Atlantic Dr NW, Atlanta, GA 30332 (The HIVE Makerspace in the Van Leer Building, School of ECE) Note: We have arranged a dry-run meeting, also at the HIVE Makerspace, on Feb. 16 (Mon) for the volunteers to learn more about the nanoVNAs and go over the lesson plan. If interested in attending, please register(https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/538116). Parking Information: Visitor parking information: https://www.pts.gatech.edu/parking/visitor-parking/ Visitor Area 2 (Student Center) in the Southwest Area of Georgia Tech is the closest to the HIVE Makerspace.

Family STEM Nights bring families together to explore the exciting world of STEM. Whether it's physical science, mathematics, engineering, or information technology, these events offer an opportunity for students and their families to engage in hands-on activities, demonstrations, and discussions led by guest instructors. Ocee Elementary’s Family STEM Night is scheduled for February 26 from 6:30–8:00 p.m. Volunteers will lead three identical 25‑minute STEM activities for students and their families. You’re welcome to Bring Your Own Activity (BYOA), or we can provide a fun, ready‑to‑run activity with all supplies included. If you’re available and interested in helping out, please contact Richardson.Melody@gmail.com. We’d be thrilled to have your support in inspiring the next generation of scientists and engineers. 4375 Kimball Bridge Rd, Johns Creek, Georgia, United States, 30022

Atlanta's IEEE AP/MTT joint-chapter is hosting an MTT-S distinguished lecture event on April 10th (Fri.) from 11:00AM-12:00PM EST at the Georgia Institute of Technology main campus (Tech Square Research Building auditorium). We invited Dr. Michael Roberg to give a talk titled: "Power Without Pain: High Power MMIC PA Design, the Pitfalls and how to Avoid Them." Talk abstract and speaker bio can be read below. Anyone interested is welcome to attend! This lecture is sponsored by IEEE MTT Society Distinguished Lecturer Program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Guest parking passes will not be provided. There are on-campus guest parking lots/decks that charges by the hour. (Note, Visitor Area 8 is the closest to the Tech Square Research Building, while Visitor Area 7 is relatively close and has a lower charge per hour.) Visitor Area 8: Tech Square Deck (E81) - ~$6/hr ((https://goo.gl/maps/o5pMxMTwTYXvunZ48)) Visitor Area 7: Brittain Dr. Details - $2/hr ((https://goo.gl/maps/R2UVEK8VboZG36x88)) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is IEEE AP/MTT? In Atlanta, the local chapters for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and Microwave Theory and Technique Society (MTT-S) are merged to form the joint AP/MTT chapter. We are composed of members at various stages of their careers, who work and do research in various electromagnetics disciplines, like antenna design, microwave circuits, RF systems analysis, etc. We welcome any students, young professionals, researchers, and senior engineers in Atlanta to join our joint-chapter and participate in our technical and service activities. Speaker(s): Dr. Michael Roberg Agenda: 11:00-11:10 AM - Updates on IEEE Atlanta AP/MTT joint-chapter's activities 11:10-12:10 PM - DL with Dr. Michael Roberg presenting: Power Without Pain: High Power MMIC PA Design, the Pitfalls and how to Avoid Them 12:10-12:30PM - Q/A, interaction with attendees, and wrap-up.
