Microwave and Radio Frequency Workshop

July 25, 2012

At the Microwave and Radio Frequency Workshop (held in Long Beach, CA, on July 25, 2012), academic and industry experts discussed the existing and emerging electrotechnologies – such as microwave (MW) and radio frequency (RF) energy – and their potential to impact advanced manufacturing. Exploiting the material interactions of MW and RF energy is a route to developing energy-saving process improvements and enabling technology for commercial and industrial applications.
