The Symposiumwill take place in celebration of the information era milestone. The aim of the Symposium is to provide a multidiscipline forum for engineers and scientists in the fields of microwave, antenna, propagation, and EMC technologies to focus on applications in the ever-growing area of wireless communications. The topics of the symposium will cover all of the interesting theory and techniques of microwaves, antennas, propagation, and EMC necessary for wireless communications. The symposium is sponsored by the IEEE Beijing Section and the IEEE China Council, and technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Communication Society, IEEE AP Society, IEEE MTT Society, IEEE ED Society, IEEE SP Society, and IEEE EMC Society. You are cordially invited to summit papers to this important event in engineering and science and to meet colleagues from around the world in 2009 in China , where there are more potential challenges and opportunities for wireless communications engineering, science, and technology.
