Edmond S. Gillespie Fellow

In 2007, AMTA created the Edmond S. Gillespie Fellow membership grade to recognize those members for their outstanding and pioneering contributions to the theory, practice and art of antenna and RF measurements. Membership in the Fellows is to honor the memory of Dr. Edmond S. “Stan” Gillespie who made many contributions to the antenna community as a professor at California State University Northridge and his activities in both the AMTA and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. 

The criteria for being named a Fellow are through contributions to AMTA in two of the following three areas:

1. Significant technical contributions through publications
2. Excellence in education in the field of antenna measurements,
3. Dedication through active AMTA service. 

In addition, Fellow members are required to have held active membership in AMTA for 3 of the proceeding 10 years.

Nominations for AMTA Fellows can be made by any active AMTA member. Nominations will be evaluated by the AMTA Awards Committee. Following approval by the AMTA Awards Committee, the nominations will be submitted to the AMTA Board of Directors for final approval.  Nominations should have an extensive justification, including three letters of recommendation from current AMTA Fellows.  CLICK HERE to download Fellowship criteria and nomination form (Word Document).  Completed nomination forms can be emailed to Past-President@amta.org.
