Pierre Jarry graduated from the University of Limoges. As a professor at University of Brest, he directed the Laboratory of Electronics and Telecommunication Systems (LEST), affiliated with the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). He later joined the University of Bordeaux and the CNRS laboratory IMS. He has published 300 technical papers in microwave and RF circuit synthesis, and is a senior member of the IEEE. Jacques Beneat received his PhD in electrical and computer engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with a focus in advanced microwave structures for satellite communications, and a doctorate degree from the University of Bordeaux with Mention Très Honorable avec Félicitations du Jury. He was a research scientist at the Center for Wireless Information Network Studies at WPI and is currently Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Norwich University.Pierre Jarry and Jacques Beneat are the authors of the bestselling book Advanced Design Techniques and Realizations of Microwave an RF Filters, published by Wiley-IEEE Press and available also in electronic form.
