It gives us a great pleasure
to welcome all of you to attend the 3rd edition of the IEEE
International Workshop on Antenna Technologies during 21-23 March,
2007 (iWAT’07) at Cambridge, UK. iWAT’07 is being hosted by Queen
Mary and Westfield College, University of London, in collaboration
with Sony-Ericsson Mobile Comm. AB and University of Manchester, UK.
The idea of holding iWAT’07
at Cambridge, UK, was firstly conceived at IEEE AP-S’05 in
Washington DC, USA, and was immediately endorsed by many colleagues
in our community for the apparent reasons. Cambridge University is
not only the place where James Clark Maxwell published his theory
about electromagnetic waves – the foundation of electromagnetics and
antenna engineering, but also the birthplace of many sciences and
technologies. Cambridge University is also one of best UK tourist
attractions for its long-history, rich culture, spectacular
architecture and beautiful scenery.
iWAT’07 is happening at an
interesting time and it coincident with the 20th anniversary of the
book ‘Small Antennas’, the first text on this subject. We are
honored to have one of the co-authors of the book, Professor Kyoheu
Fujimoto, to present one of the keynote talks. iWAT’07 has kept the
tradition of the two previous editions of iWAT and will provide a
unique forum for the exchange of information and ideas on the
research and development in innovative antenna technology,
particularly in the area of small antennas and applications of
meta-materials to small antenna designs.
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank all the individuals and organizations, who have
provided their support and help to iWAT’07. We wish all the
participants will benefit from the technical activities at iWAT’07
and enjoy the social events in the Workshop.
