mm-Wave and Microwave Antennas for Ultrahigh Speed Wireless Communications

Call for Papers

Ultrahigh speed wireless communication with gigabits connectivity has emerged as next-generation standards for portable devices. Among which, the IEEE 802.11ac at 5-GHz band and IEEE 802.11ad at 60-GHz band are the most promising solutions, while another technique like the UWB MIMO still remains as a potential competitor. The antennas for ultrahigh speed wireless systems face a variety of distinct challenges. While the MIMO configuration has become one of the core technologies at microwave frequencies, the 60-GHz band relies mostly on a direct integration of the high-gain antenna array with integrated circuits and systems.

Researchers are invited to contribute original research articles addressing the challenges in the design, implementation, modeling, and measurement of mm-wave and microwave antennas for next-generation ultrahigh speed wireless communications. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• mm-Wave antennas and arrays
  • mm-Wave antennas integrated/ packaged with chips
  • Measurement techniques for mm-wave antennas
  • mm-Wave and microwave active integrated antennas
  • Modeling and implementation techniques for integrated antennas
• Microwave antennas in MIMO systems
  • Base station antennas
  • Mobile terminal antennas
  • Metamaterial antenna techniques
  • Spectral efficiency estimation and system evaluation
