MTT-S Introduction: Connecting Microwave Engineering with Space Applications
This talk will introduce the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S), highlighting its activities and the opportunities it offers to students and young professionals. These include access to technical resources, participation in international conferences and events, interaction with experts from around the world, and professional development opportunities.
As a practical example of the contribution of microwave engineering to space technology, the talk will feature ATENEA, an Argentine satellite that was part of NASA's Artemis II mission. This case study will illustrate the application of microwave technologies in the development of satellite communication systems and highlight the relevance of the technical fields covered by the MTT-S.

MTT-S Introduction: Connecting Microwave Engineering with Space Applications
Biography:
Ramón López La Valle received the Electronics Engineer and M.Sc. in Engineering degrees from the National University of La Plata (UNLP), Argentina, in 2008 and 2014, respectively.
He is currently an Assistant Professor at the School of Engineering, UNLP, and Director of the Research Unit on Electronic Navigation and Telecommunication Systems (SENyT). He has led and participated in research, development, and innovation projects involving Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers and electronic systems for aerospace applications, with particular emphasis on small satellites and launch vehicles.
He has authored more than forty scientific publications in specialized journals and national and international conference proceedings. His main research interests include radiofrequency and microwave engineering, antenna design, and electromagnetic compatibility.
His major distinctions include the Award for Scientific, Technological, and Artistic Achievement from the National University of La Plata, in the Young Researchers category of the School of Engineering, and the 2014 Distinguished Graduate Award. He has also received recognition for his contributions to the development of the SAC-D/Aquarius and ATENEA satellites, the latter having been selected by NASA as a secondary payload for the Artemis II mission.
He is a Senior Member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and currently serves as Chair of the Argentine Chapter of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S). He is also the General Chair of the 2026 IEEE MTT-S Latin America Microwave Conference (LAMC), to be held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in December 2026.
