The Workshop on Submillimeter-Wave Receiver Technologies in Eastern Asia was formed in 2000 and this is now our 16th workshop. The objectives of this workshop are to present the state-of-the-art and to explore innovative approaches for submillimeter-wave receiver systems and associated electrical, mechanical and thermal design and to discuss needs of future submillimeter-wave and THz receiver systems. The 16th workshop in 2015 will be hosted by Purple Mountain Observatory, CAS.
