Introduction by the Editor-in-ChiefThe IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation continues to represent a premier venue for papers on a broad range of topics relevant to antenna theory and design, wave propagation, and electromagnetics. It has an impressive history of publishing manuscripts that contribute to the modern state-of-the-art and that remain relevant for many years. As evidence of these observations, consider that the journal enjoys an Impact Factor of 2.479 (2008) and that in 2009 it was ranked second out of over 13,000 publications on IEEE Xplore, based on the total number of papers downloaded. Furthermore, it is remarkable that many papers continue to be cited more than ten years after their publication. These impressive statistics are naturally a direct consequence of authors who demonstrate creativity and innovation in their scholarly pursuits and who are able to show how their ideas relate to engineering practice. They further depend on the significant voluntary efforts of reviewers and the editorial staff who work together to achieve a rigorous peer review process. If you are an author, I encourage you to contribute to the success of the Transactions by submitting papers on topics relevant to the stated journal scope. If you would like to participate in the peer review activities, I encourage you to apply to serve as a reviewer. I am
honored to serve the IEEE Antennas & Propagation Society as
Editor-in-Chief, and I am grateful for the tireless work of an international
panel of Associate Editors, all
of whom are experienced authors and reviewers, as well as our Editorial
Assistant Ms. Sara K.S. Hanks. On behalf of this Editorial Board,
I thank you for your contributions to the Transactions, and I hope
that you will continue to provide high-quality submissions and excellent
service. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance.
I look forward to our collaboration. Michael
Jensen About the Editor-in-Chief Michael Jensen received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University (BYU) in 1990 and 1991, respectively, and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1994. Since 1994, he has been at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at BYU, where he is currently Professor and Department Chair. He has published over 200 articles on the topic of antennas, propagation, and signal processing for wireless communication, with emphasis on multi-antenna communication systems, and has delivered dozens of invited and keynote addresses. He has been recipient of the Best Student Paper Award at the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Symposium in 1993, the H. A. Wheeler Applications Prize Paper Award in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation in 2002, and several outstanding faculty awards at Brigham Young University. He was elevated to the grade of IEEE Fellow in 2008 for his contributions to multi-antenna communications. Prof. Jensen has served as the Technical Program Chair or General Co-Chair for seven different symposia, as a member and chair of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Joint Meetings Committee, and as an elected member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society AdCom. He has been an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters. He has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation since August 1, 2010.
