IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society
USNC-URSI

Technical Program

The 2008 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and the 2008 USNC/URSI (U.S. National Committee of the International Union of Radio Science) National Radio Science meeting will be held jointly, on July 5-12, 2008 at the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel in San Diego, California.

Updated Program

An updated version of the symposium technical program, with the latest information on all the AP-S and URSI papers that will be presented, is available here. Please note that this version is more updated than the one contained in the Final Program which is also provided on the home page of this website. The Updated Program is updated periodically, and includes any changes that occurred after the "Final Program" went to print.

Information for Presenters

Please find potentially useful material here to assist you in preparing a presentation for the Symposium.
