Papers invited for 2009 Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference

Papers are invited for the fifth Loughborough Antennas & Propagation Conference (LAPC), being held at the University in November.

LAPC 2009 will feature invited talks from world experts, research posters, a technical exhibition, free computer simulation workshops and excellent networking opportunities for attendees. Taking place from 16 17 November, it will be held in the University’s Burleigh Court four star Hotel.

The conference is run for the good of the electromagnetic community with a not-for-profit ethos, enabling the cost of attending the event to be kept to a minimum. This year the Technical Programme for LAPC is being organised by Cranfield University and Queen’s University, Belfast.

The conference will include special sessions on:

  • Electrically Small Antennas & Array Systems
  • Innovative Metamaterial Antennas & Technology
  • Channel Characterisation and Modelling for Emerging Applications in Wireless Communications
  • Bioelectromagnetics in Antennas and Propagation

Papers for the conference are now invited. Submissions should be made via the conference website, www.lapconf.co.uk. The deadline for submissions is 19 June.

Loughborough University has extensive expertise in the field of antennas and propagation. Research into wireless communications has been conducted at the campus for more than 20 years and in 1998 this was further enhanced by the creation of the Centre for Mobile Communications Research in the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering. The group specialises in antennas and associated devices for mobile telephony in GSM, GPS, UMTS, UWB, BluetoothTM and WLAN applications.

It features a range of modelling tools and measurements facilities, including network and spectrum analysers, two anechoic chambers suitable for full characterisation of antennas and handset measurements, and a Dosimetric Assessment System for standardised Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurements.

Since its inception, the group has built up an international reputation for the quality of its research on both academic subjects and industry based projects.
