Ramesh Garg received an MSc Honors in physics from Panjab University, Chandigarh, India, in 1968, and a PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, in 1975. From 1975 to 1981, he was with the Advanced Centre for Electronic Systems (ACES), IIT Kanpur, working on transmission lines for microwave integrated circuits and CAD. From 1981 to 2015, Professor Garg was with the IIT Kharagpur (India), first as an assistant professor with the Radar and Communication Centre and then as a professor with the Department of Electronics and Electrical Communication Engineering. He was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Houston in Texas from 1985 to 1987, and a research associate at the University of Ottawa in Canada in 1994. After returning from IIT Kharagpur in 2015, he was Professor Emeritus at IIT Ropar and served this institute until 2019.
Inder J. Bahl received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India, in 1975. Dr. Bahl has more than 40 years of experience working in the microwave field. Dr. Bahl researched and managed products including microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits, printed antennas, phased array antennas, millimeter wave antennas, and medical and industrial applications of microwaves. He joined the ITT Gallium Arsenide Technology Center in 1981 and launched numerous microwave and millimeter wave GaAs IC products for commercial and military applications. At Cobham (formerly ITT GTC/Tyco Electronics), he continued working on GaAs ICs as a Distinguished Fellow of Technology until he retired in 2010. Through his research publications and books, he is well recognized worldwide in the microwave field. Dr. Bahl is the author or co-author of more than 160 research papers. He authored or co-authored 15 books and holds 17 patents. He is an IEEE Life Fellow and a member of the Electromagnetic Academy.
