2000 IEEE AP-S Conference 
on Antennas and Propagation for Wireless Communication
November 6-8, 2000 Waltham, Massachusetts

CONFERENCE DETAILS
This Conference is designed to bring together engineers in industry and researchers in academic and government laboratories to explore the latest technological developments in antennas and propagation for wireless communications. It will feature twenty-minute technical presentations, invited papers, short courses, and an exhibition. The exhibition will feature manufacturers of antennas and related components for wireless systems and applications. Contributors worldwide are invited to submit original papers in the topic areas listed below:

• Military to Commercial Technology Transition
• Trends in Architecture in Future Wireless Systems
• Adaptive and Active Wireless Communication Arrays
• Novel Antennas and Passive Array Configurations
• Multiband Operation and Polarization Characteristics
• Antennas for PCS, WLAN, WLL, RFID, etc.
• Mobile Antennas and Vehicle Modeling
• Package Integration and Portable Devices
• Antenna CAD for Wireless Communication Systems
• Human Interactions with Antennas
• MEMS for Wireless Communication Applications
• Indoor and Outdoor Propagation and Channel Models

The language of the conference is English. Authors should submit the original and three copies of the FULL-LENGTH paper (limited to four pages including text, references, and figures) in camera-ready form to the address given below. A cover letter should indicate the proposed topic area and contain the complete mailing address, e-mail address, telephone number, and fax number of the corresponding author. Figures and photographs (in glossy prints) should be a convenient size and affixed on 8.5x11 inch white paper with appropriate captions. Margins of 1 inch should be used on all sides of the paper, the text should be single-spaced, and the font size of the text should be 10 pt.
