CFP: 2010 IEEE 10th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems
Call for Late News Papers! The submission site will open again 17-23 Sep 2009 for Late News Full Paper Submission. Do not miss this chance to publish your latest research results. Visit http://www.silicon-rf.org/ for more information.
IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques Special Issue on "THz Technology: Bridging the Microwave-to-Photonics Gap"
The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques is soliciting articles under the theme: "THz Technology: Bridging the Microwave-to-Photonics Gap" with a planned publication date of July 2010. The issue will highlight applications and techniques, devices and circuits, designs and analytic approaches that come at THz from both ends of the electromagnetic spectrum. The special issue editors would like researchers who are interested in submitting papers to specifically contrast photonic and RF techniques, with emphasis on the advantages, disadvantages or common factors that guide specific choices or approach.
Relevant topics of interest to MTT include, but are not limited to, the following areas:
- Survey or review articles summarizing both RF and photonic techniques in THz
- THz RF and photonic sources and sensors
- THz applications specific to RF approaches
- THz applications enabled by photonic approaches
- Combined or cross-over THz techniques that combine RF and photonic approaches
- Analytic and theory papers that compare or contrast THz photonic and RF devices and instruments
- THz RF and photonic measurement techniques and limitations
- Special needs for THz RF and photonic components in imaging, tomography, and surface analysis
Authors may contact Dr. Peter H. Siegel for more information. See submission instructions at http://www.mtt.org/publications/Transactions/transactions.htm and please add "(THz Special Issue)" to the subject line of the e-mail submission.
The Joint Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques and the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology on Microwave Photonics
The Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques and the IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology invite manuscript submissions in the area of Microwave Photonics. This special joint issue will focus on the diverse, multidisciplinary field of microwave photonics and will be sent to subscribers of both journals. Microwave photonics focuses on interactions between the optical and the microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, where here the term “microwave” encompasses all frequencies from 10 MHz to 10 THz. This Special Issue will treat recent progress in microwave photonics including experimental studies, theoretical investigations, numerical modeling, and applications.
The deadline for submission of manuscripts is JANUARY 1st, 2010 and publication is scheduled for the NOVEMBER 2010 issue.
Authors may contact Dr. Dalma Novak for more information. Instructions for submission of papers can be found at http://www.mtt.org/publications/Transactions/transactions.htm. In addition, authors must add "(T-MTT/JLT Special Issue)" to the subject line of the e-mail submission.
