CALL FOR DEMONSTRATIONS PROPOSALS

As an exhibitor at AP-S 2019 in Atlanta, USA, you have the unique opportunity to participate in the demonstration program in the exhibit hall.

The objective of the demonstration program is to provide hands-on education in important antenna concepts in an interactive format focusing on innovative ideas and methods that are of interest to practicing antenna engineers. The program features both hardware and software demonstrations. Topics may include Antenna theory, design, and measurements, Microstrip antennas and printed devices, Millimeter wave and Terahertz antennas, MIMO antennas and systems, Nanoscale electromagnetics, and Radio communication systems, etc.

Presentations are scheduled for 60-minute slots. This allows for Q&A during the demonstration and a repeat as necessary to accommodate the flexible schedule of symposium attendees.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

To participate in the demonstrations program at the 2019 IEEE AP-S Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and the USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, please submit your proposal using the following guidelines.

  1. Title of demonstration.
  2. 200 words abstract (including what will be shown and what people will learn). Educational content rather than a “sales pitch” is preferred.
  3. Name, affiliation, title and contact information for presenter.
  4. Short bio of presenter – no more than 100 words.
  5. Summary of support equipment needed for your demonstration (i.e. instrumentation, etc.).  NOTE: The Symposium Committee will provide one table, chairs, power, microphone for speaker, and video display monitor for presenter’s laptop computer. If you require additional equipment, please advise in your proposal.
  6. Schedule preference – advise date, as well as morning or afternoon time slot, during the open hours of the symposium exhibit hall, i.e. Tuesday-Thursday, July 9-11, 2019 from 9 AM – 4 PM.

TOPICS FROM PREVIOUS DEMONSTRATIONS

Hardware:

  • 5G Performance Measurements
  • Using a Portable Near-Field System to Measure High Frequency Antennas

Software:

  • WIPL-D Advanced Higher Order EM Modeling: From low frequency to multiscale problems and composite scenarios
  • Design of High Gain Patch Antennas using Topology Optimization using FEKO and HyperStudy
  • Antenna Measurements in Seconds with Chambers on Your Desktop

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

All presenters are required to have paid the full symposium registration fee in advance in order to participate in the demonstrations program. Presenters in the demonstrations program may be from industry, academia, and/or government.  Presenters are responsible for ensuring their content may be shared with the public.

DEMONSTRATION PROPOSALS ARE DUE APRIL 15

Please send in your proposal to the Demonstrations Co-Chairs shown below before April 15, 2019.

The technical program committee will review all proposals. A balance between hardware and software proposals is desired. Accepted proposals will be announced on May 1, 2019.  Accepted proposals will be promoted on the symposium website, the symposium app, via social media and via signage on site during the symposium.
