The IEICE Transactions on Communications announces that it will publish a special section entitled "Special Section on Recent Progress in Antennas and Propagation Conjunction with Main Topics of ISAP2010" in January 2012.
The 2010 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2010) will be held in Macau, China during November 23-26, 2010, which aims at providing an international forum for exchanging information on the progress of research and development in antennas, propagation, electromagnetic wave theory, and the related fields. This symposium is the 15th ISAP and a series of the symposia have gained high reputation for its excellent quality of the presented papers. By taking this opportunity the special section has been planned to publish papers on advanced technologies in antennas, propagation and the related fields. The special section seeks for submission particularly from, but not limited to, the authors of ISAP2010.

 
     

  1. Scope

  This special section aims at timely dissemination of research in these areas. Possible topics include, but are not limited to antennas and propagation technologies related to progressing technology for MIMO, LTE, PAN/BAN, and wireless power transmission, so forth. The topics also include electromagnetic wave theory and its related topics including emerging topics for metamaterial and its antenna application.  
     

  2. Submission Instructions

  The standard number of pages is 8 for a PAPER and 2 for a LETTER. The maximum number of pages for the initial submission of a LETTER is 4. The page charges are considerably higher for extra pages.
