Kelvin Yuk, Principal RF and Microwave Consultant and Founder, Echoic Engineering
I AM...a Relentless Explorer Curating the Wireless World of the Future with Passion and Precision
What made you want to work in this industry?
What excites me about the RF and wireless industry is the way it brings together so many disciplines—electromagnetics, circuits, semiconductors, and communication systems. It is a field where no two situations are identical. I enjoy the balance of theory, design, and hands-on work. The constant stream of new challenges keeps it deeply engaging. It is a dynamic and intellectually rich environment, and that is exactly where I want to be.
What is your favorite part of your job?
As an entrepreneur, RF/microwave design engineer, and expert consultant, I wear many hats—and that’s what I love most about my job. It’s never boring. Unlike a typical fixed-scope corporate position that might focus on a single platform or problem, my work constantly exposes me to new challenges and a wide range of technologies. The variety keeps me sharp and continually learning. I get to dive into every corner of RF and microwave engineering—from chips and waveguides to antennas, instruments and beyond. That breadth and constant evolution are what drive me the most.
What are you most excited about for IMS?
IMS is the premier event in the RF, microwave, and wireless industry. I’m eager to see the latest scientific research and innovations, and to explore the cutting-edge technologies that companies will be showcasing on the exhibition floor. But what I’m most looking forward to is reconnecting with peers and meeting new people who share the same passion and commitment to this field. Honestly, it feels like a family reunion—where professionals from all corners of the industry come together with mutual respect, curiosity, and a shared love for the work we do.
