Information for Authors

The IEEE TRANSACTIONS on MICROWAVE THEORY and TECHNIQUES is published monthly with a focus on that part of engineering and theory associated with microwave/millimeter-wave technology and components, electronic devices, guided wave structures and theory, electromagnetic theory, and Radio Frequency Hybrid and Monolithic Integrated Circuits, including mixed-signal circuits, from a few 100 MHz to THz.

I. Paper Submission in Electronic Form

Authors instructions are as follows. To reduce time from submission to publication of papers, the editorial office accepts manuscripts only in electronic form as.pdf files and all communications with authors will be via email. The files must not be larger than 1MB and no *.zip files are accepted. Submissions should be submitted through the Manuscript Central site at: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tmtt-ieee and use the templates provided under http://www.ieee.org/web/publications/authors/transjnl/index.html (Template for all Transactions (except IEEE Transactions on Magnetics), two-column template; can also be requested from the editorial office). Figures, graphs and all other necessary information for reviewing the manuscript must be included in this file (as opposed to being attached to it as separate files) and placed at appropriate locations within the text rather than at the end:

• Figures should be large enough to be easily readable on a computer screen and on paper when printed out.
• A photograph of any component or circuit presented must be included.
• If, at the decision of the Editor, the component or circuit can be fabricated, measured characteristics must be included.
• All papers with theoretical contributions must have independent verification with measurement-based validation strongly preferred.
• Instrument screen captures are not suitable for publication and the data should be replotted.
• The print version of the paper will be in black and white, but color figures may be used in the electronic version of the paper.
• Axes should be labeled with large lettering.
• Whenever possible, theory and corresponding experimental results should be printed on the same graph for easy comparison.
• Follow the Guidelines for Author-Supplied Electronic Text and Graphics available for download at the above website.
• The minimum paper length is 4 pages, excluding the authors' photos and biographies. Short papers of three pages or less should be sent to the IEEE MICROWAVE AND WIRELESS COMPONENTS LETTERS. The font size is specified in the templates. TeX and LaTeX users must use scalable fonts rather than bitmapped fonts to allow easy reading of .pdf files on the computer screen.

Note: Manuscripts that are related to material submitted to or published at conferences are considered only if the content is significantly updated or contains material of substantially complementary nature. Authors must reference all of their previous papers that are similar. Please attach .pdf files of previous papers and clearly state (on a separate page) the difference with respect to the current submission. Failure to disclose prior papers by the authors that are similar will be rejected.

 

II. Final Submission Format

After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author will be requested to provide an electronic copy of the final version of the manuscript in pdf format; Microsoft Word is the preferred format for this final submission, although TEX and LATEX formats are also acceptable. Note: Although we require a .pdf file of the manuscript for the review process, this format is not acceptable (neither is .ps) for the final submission.

Some additional guidelines must, however, be followed for the submission of the final manuscript in electronic form:

• Include all macros (/def) that are required to produce your manuscript (TEX and LATEX).
• IEEE Transaction/Journal style dictates a 21-pica (3.5 inch) column width. If mathematical expressions are produced with this in mind, they are more aesthetically pleasing in the final version.
• Figures and tables must be submitted as separate files in .ps, .eps or .tiff format.

 

III. Page Charges

Papers will be reviewed for their technical merit, and decisions to publish will be made independently of an author's ability to pay page charges. Page charges of $110 (U.S.) per printed page will be requested on papers of six printed pages or less. Overlength page charges of $200 per page are mandatory for each page in excess of six pages. If the author's organization agrees to honor the total page charge, which includes the page charges on the first six pages plus the mandatory overlength charge, the author will receive 100 reprints. If the supporting organization honors only the mandatory charge, no free reprints will be sent.
