Upcoming Symposium and Tutorials on Phased Arrays in October 2016
From 18 to 21 October 2016, the Westin Hotel in Waltham-Boston, Massachussetts, will be hosting the 2016 IEEE International Symposium on Phased Array Systems and Technology.
You can find out more about the event via their official website.
Background
Phased array systems continue to be a rapidly evolving technology with steady advances motivated by the challenges presented to modern military and commercial applications. This symposium will present the most recent advances in phased array technology and provide a unique opportunity for members of the international community to interact with colleagues in the field of Phased Array Systems and Technology.
The symposium will be held at the Westin Hotel in Waltham Massachusetts on Boston’s famous Route 128 Technology Highway. It will include keynote and plenary sessions, parallel technical sessions, poster sessions, tutorials, and a student paper contest. Social events will include a welcome reception with dinner and an awards banquet.
