Wiltse received the bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the doctorate from Johns Hopkins University, all in electrical engineering. He has had a distinguished engineering career. In the past he served as Director of Research and Technology at Martin Marietta, Orlando, Director of Advanced Technology at Electronic Communications, Inc. and, Associate Director of the Georgia Tech Research Institute. He is the author/co-author of 160 technical publications, including three books and a contributor to 14 other books. His works have been referenced in many publications and hundreds of journal articles. He has given scores presentations at technical conferences and symposia, some of them at international sites.
Dr. Wiltse has made numerous significant contributions to the microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz (far-infrared) technology areas. He and a colleague were the first to use the phase-correcting Fresnel zone plate at millimeter wavelengths, and the first to use quarter-wave correction. This improves the diffraction efficiency of the zone plate by a factor of 2. He was the inventor of the planar lens, which is flat on both sides, by using two or more dielectrics. He was the first to solve the problem of guided wave propagation on a dielectric rod of elliptical cross-section, and the first to investigate broadband superheterodyne receiver design employing a microwave intermediate frequency. This technique has been widely used by radio astronomers for many years.
For most of his career he served on the editorial boards of several journals including as guest editor on several occasions. Dr. Wiltse also was editorial book reviewer for a number of publishers. He is a member of several engineering honorary societies and is listed in Who’s Who in America, Who’s Who in Science and Engineering, and Who’s Who in the World.view less
