What does the Microwave Digital Archive CDROM Collection contain ?

The MTT Society has started a major effort to archive 50 years of MTT transactions, and all other major publications including the IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (formerly Microwave Guided Wave Letters), the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) Digest and the Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium Digest. The initial collection, with well over 50,000 pages, filled about 18 CDROMs. Every year, the MTT Society produces a new CDROM containing the new papers published in the above publications. The format features word searches using the Adobe Acrobat Reader and a special index based on abstracts. A single CDROM index is also updated and made available to the MTT-S members to allow abstracts and articles to be searched over the entire collection of CDROMs.
