RF front-ends for software defined and cognitive radio solutions
IEEE Microwave Magazine · 2009
The IEEE MTT-S Administrative Committee (AdCom) has recently passed a resolution of its Transnational Committee to create and develop the IEEE MTT-S International Workshop Series (IMWS), which will complement the existing workshops of the MTTS International Microwave Symposia. The purpose of this new platform is to boost and promote MTT-S technical and educational activities as well as MTT-S international exchanges and collaborations. Several workshops covering different topics of MTT-S interest will be developed each year at a worldwide scale, spreading in various continents and countries. Through its technical program, this edition of the workshop aims to stimulate the discussion and promotion of new ideas in the field of advanced Microwave and RF front ends for Software Defined Radio and Cognitive Radio technologies. The workshop format will consist of a single oral session paralleled by a permanent poster session. Submitted abstracts are expected to cover state-of-the-art, theoretical aspects, implementation and innovative applications in the field of RF front ends for software defined radio and cognitive radio. Participation of young researchers is strongly encouraged and supported via Young Researcher Grants. This conference/workshop is a two day conference where the first day is composed of invited speakers, and the second day is composed of regular submitted papers.
