2017 International Workshop on Antenna Technology, March 1-3, Athens, Greece: Deadline extension

We would like to cordially invite you to participate in the IEEE iWAT 2017 that will be held in Athens, Greece from Wednesday March 1st to Friday March 3rd 2017. In case you have received our older communication please notice that the submission deadline has been extended to November 18, 2016.

The International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT) is an annual forum for the exchange of information on the research and development in innovative antenna technologies. It especially focuses on small antennas and applications of advanced and artificial materials to the antenna design. In iWAT 2017 there will be also focus on Applications of Antennas in Medical Technologies.

At iWAT, all the oral presentations are delivered by invited prominent researchers and professors. iWAT has a particular focus on posters by which authors have the opportunity to interact with leading researchers in their fields. iWAT2017 is a continuation of a series of annual international antenna workshops held in Singapore (2005), White Plaines, USA (2006), Cambridge, UK (2007), Chiba, Japan (2008), Santa Monica, USA (2009), Lisbon, Portugal (2010), Hong Kong, PRC (2011), Tucson, USA (2012), Karlsruhe,Germany (2013), Sydney, Australia (2014), Seoul, Republic of Korea (2015), and Cocoa Beach, Florida, USA (2016).

Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions on their latest research activities. Student papers are strongly encouraged. There will be up to three awards each for "best conference paper" and "best student paper", respectively, which will be presented in the poster session. Invited papers (oral presentation) will not participate in this paper competition contest.

A panel of distinguished researchers will deliver keynote speeches on recent technology trends and advances:

  • C. Balanis, Arizona State University - USA, "EM Band-Gap High Impedance Surfaces for Conformal Low-Profile Antennas and RCS Reduction"
  • J. T. Bernhard, University of Illinois - USA, TBA
  • J. R. Mosig, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne - Switzerland, TBA
  • J. Sahalos , University of Nicosia - Cyprus & Aristotle University of Thessaloniki - Greece,"The Orthogonal Methods for Antenna Arrays Beam-forming"
  • N. K. Uzunoglu, National Technical University of Athens - Greece, "The Balance Between Computation and Intuition in Antenna Design"

The proceedings of the conference will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
