For more than 20 years, Microwave Product Digest magazine has been the most comprehensive source of new product information for RF and microwave design engineers and engineering managers in the diverse array of markets and applications in which RF and microwave technology is used. In addition to product information, MPD provides technical articles, news, and application information of interest to our readers. It is a unique tool delivered in a tabloid format that makes reading articles and browsing products and advertisements a very pleasant experience.

MPD also publishes many supplements every year, each dedicated to a specific type of product, and publishes Military Microwave Digest, a comprehensive, staff-written supplement that covers RF and microwave technologies applicable to defense systems, as well as market and DoD program information. All of these print publications are available in either PDF or “e-zine” formats on this Web site after publication.

This Web site is one of the very few in the industry that provides access to thousands of products that have been introduced within the pages of MPD, as well as articles and advertisements. It also provides up-to-date information about industry news and events, white papers, and special events in which viewers can participate.
