What is MTT-S?

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society is a global organisation with over 10,000 members and 190 branches. We are honoured to be the first IEEE MTT-S Student Branch Chapter in Sri Lanka, initiated in 2016 to be a strong internode in the chain of IEEE MTT-S.

Our mission is to continue to understand and influence microwave technology and to provide a forum for all microwave engineers. The university offers a fully equipped microwave laboratory, and radio astronomy is one of the chapter’s key projects — the society has provided funding for the development of a 4.6 m parabolic antenna that will serve as a radio telescope for receiving transmissions from space.
