The 41st European Microwave Conference (EuMC) represents the
main event in the European Microwave Week 2011 and now
incorporates the wireless topics previously covered in the Wireless
Technologies Conference (EuWIT) in a series of dedicated sessions
common with the European Microwave Integrated Circuits
Conference (EuMIC).
The European Microwave Conference is the largest event within
Europe to be dedicated to microwave technology and wireless
systems. This is the premier forum that covers the present status and
future trends in microwave, millimetre-wave and terahertz
technologies. On the hardware side, all aspects from components to
circuits to subsystems to applications are represented by theory,
design and measurements. Advances in the synthesis and analysis of
passive networks are welcome. Breakthroughs in semiconductor
device technologies are also sought for applications that include
ultra-low noise signal sources and high efficiency power amplifiers for
communications, radar, metrology and industrial applications. The
wireless technologies sessions, with an increased focus upon key
applications, will encompass the major topics within the fast-moving
mobile and broadcast communications area –covering major mobile
standards such as 3GPP, LTE+, WiMAX as well as the broadcast
technologies for HD and 3D transmission. Other important wireless
topics will include the increasingly important wireless power transfer
technologies as well as telematics, personal area networks, medical
applications and assisted living.
Emerging technologies represents an important part of this
conference and these include RF MEMS, metamaterials, medical
applications, sensor networks, cognitive radio and 4G
communications. EuMC is a truly international melting pot for the
exchange of ideas, as well as global networking. Both theorists and
practitioners from academia, research institutes, national laboratories
and industry come together each year to make this an exciting and
stimulating event that is not to be missed. To this end, authors are
encouraged to submit high quality papers. These will then go through
a rigorous review process so that only real advancements in the fields
are included in this prestigious conference.
