Objective

The objective of the workshop is intended to provide an international forum for the exchange of information on the progress of research and development in innovative antenna technology, particularly, for the miniaturization of antennas and the broad/multiple-band antennas. The workshop will focus on advanced technology such as applications of advanced materials and artificial materials to antenna design, and promote the new technology in antenna academic and industrial communities. The antenna design related to emerging wireless communication and radar systems will also be highlighted. The details will be listed in Topics of Interest.
