The Microwave Working Group, Ltd. (MWG), formed in 1993, is comprised of scientists, engineers, educators
and executives who share the common interest of understanding, developing and promoting the use of microwave
and radio frequency energy to better serve the world. Its mission is to facilitate the dissemination of
knowledge relating to microwave and radio frequency processing technologies and to promote interdisciplinary
interaction at all levels of application development and commercialization. Since the MWG’s founding it has
maintained informality as a loosely structured network of highly motivated and energetic professionals. It
advertises it is not a formal “society” with by-laws, a budget and hired management. Rather, its site states
it is a collective of friendly "doers" eager to make commitments and assume the responsibilities as need
to fulfill “our” mission.
