Microwave Electronics

Andrey D. Grigoriev graduated from Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute (LETI) in 1960 as electronics engineer. He received the PhD degree in Microwave electronics in 1967 and the Doctor of technical science degree in 1985. A.D. Grigoriev is working in LETI as assistant professor and professor, delivering lectures on electrodynamics, microwave technique and microwave electronics. He works also at "Svetlana" JSC as a consultant. Professor Grigoriev is the author of more than 150 publications, including 4 monographies: "Microwave cavities and slow-wave structures" (1984), "Electrodynamics and microwave technique", "Methods of computational electrodynamics" (2012) and "Microwave electronics" (2016). He is a member of the editorial board of several Russian and international magazines. Vyacheslav A. Ivanov graduated from St Petersburg Electrotechnical University ("LETI") in 1970. He became Associate Professor in 1980. his scientific interest is in the field of computer modeling of microwave tubes, In 1981-1982 he had a scientific research stay in Sweden. His activities concern microwave transistors and development of industrial microwave plants. Since 1970 he lectures on Microwave Electronics. He wrote 15 textbooks and has 23 patents of the Russian Federation.
