Submission Deadline: February 14, 2014The 15th annual IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference (WAMICON 2014) will be held in Tampa, Florida on June 6, 2014. The conference is co-located with the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Conference (www.ims2014.org) and ARFTG (www.arftg.org). The conference will address up-to-date multidisciplinary research needs and interdisciplinary aspects of wireless and RF technology. The program includes both oral and poster presentations. Prospective authors are invited to submit original and high-quality work for presentation at the WAMICON for publication in IEEE Xplore. The technical program will cover emerging RF/microwave technologies and wireless communication systems.

TOPICS OF INTEREST INCLUDEEmerging RF and Microwave Technologies

Authors are especially encouraged to submit papers on Biomedical Applications, Wireless Sensing, Energy Harvesting, Wireless Power Transfer, Terahertz Technologies, Nanodevices and Circuits. Other emerging wireless and microwave topics will also be considered.

Wireless Communications

Authors are also encouraged to submit papers on Cognitive Radio, 4G and Advanced Data Networks, Ultra-Wideband (UWB), MIMO, Multi-Carrier, Spread Spectrum, Channel Characterization and Modeling as well as Software Defined Radios (SDR). Also papers on High power RF/Microwave systems and applications, Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint Systems including MESH Sensor Networks will be supported.

PAPER SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONSAuthors are asked to submit papers electronically in .PDF format. In order to be considered for publication by the Technical Program Committee, an initial submission of 3 pages, clearly describing the concept and results must be submitted before the deadline of February 14, 2014.
