Clerk Maxwell first published what we today call Maxwell's equations in the Transactions of the Royal Society in January 1865. This session celebrates the 150th anniversary of that publication. Inspired by the work of rsted, Faraday, Ampre, and many others, Maxwell?s equations form the basis for our entire field. Maxwell's work, in turn, inspired and enabled the development of quantum theory, relativity, and, indeed, all of modern physics. Newton said, If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. Maxwell is our giant.

Inspired by the work of Ørsted, Faraday, Ampre, and many others, Maxwell's equations form the basis for our entire field. Maxwell's work, in turn, inspired and enabled the development of quantum theory, relativity, and, indeed, all of modern physics. Newton said, "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." Maxwell is our giant.

The objective is to illustrate how Maxwell came to his mathematical constructs of the work done before him by Oersted, Ampere, Faraday, Gauss and so on, into a concise and precise mathematical form. In addition, the presentation will address two specific topics which are fundamental in engineering electromagnetic education: how did Maxwell reached the conclusion light was electromagnetic in nature and thereby revolutionizing the last century physics and the concept of displacement current.

This presentation provides an examination of Maxwell's original equations, their relationship to the set of equations that survived the transformation process affected by Heaviside, Fitzgerald, Lodge, and Hertz, and how these equations provide the foundation for analytical, design, and test activities within the scope and purview of the EM discipline and its practitioners.

Intel Fellow and Director of New Devices group, Lakshman Krishnamurthy, discusses smart textile computational systems for wearable electronics. Wearable electronics have received considerable publicity for their potential applications in healthcare, fitness, defense, education, ubiquitous computing, gaming and entertainment. The panel will debate whether such trends represent a viable technology evolution for electronics, or whether this will remain a niche market, what is the future evolution of the field and what are the barriers to success.

Wearable electronics have received considerable publicity for their potential applications in healthcare, fitness, defense, education, ubiquitous computing, gaming and entertainment. Some recent products include for example Google Glass and smart watches, while future technologies are envisioned such as implantable systems for health monitoring, therapeutics, smart skin and other biocompatible applications based on fully flexible electronic circuitry. Such systems must have elements of communications, data input/output, data processing and energy management. The panel will debate whether such trends represent a viable technology evolution for electronics, or whether this will remain a niche market, what is the future evolution of the field and what are the barriers to success.

Linearization is of enormous importance because of society's need for greater and greater amounts of information. Interest in reducing distortion is not new. It dates back to early years of radio. Information transmission rate is directly related to distortion level. Linearity and amplifier efficiency are also linked, with higher linearity normally yielding lower efficiency. This paper traces the evolution of power amplifier linearization from its inception to the present.
