On behalf of the Steering Committee, we extend our warm welcome to attend the 2014 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNCURSI Radio Science Meeting. The Steering Committee has been working hard to plan an innovative and rewarding technical meeting, with numerous opportunities to network and collaborate with your colleagues, and has exciting, unique social activities planned for all family members. We have put together an excellent technical program with 200 oral and poster sessions including special sessions. Full day and half day short courses are scheduled for Sunday, July 6. The student design contest and the student paper competition finals will be held during the conference. Be sure to stop by the exhibits area to meet with various vendors and learn about the hardware and software products they have to offer. New this year is the University Exhibits, with tabletops that highlight research projects at various universities and provide an excellent opportunity to learn about the state of the art research at leading universities in the field of antennas and propagation. Memphis Cook Convention Center is the venue of the conference with Sheraton Memphis Downtown hotel serving as the conference hotel. A skybridge provides convenient access to the Sheraton Hotel. The convention center looks out on the Mississippi River on one side and is immediately adjacent to the Main Street Trolley Line, giving direct access to downtown Memphis and world famous Beale Street. Just south of the Memphis Cook Convention Center, Main Street is now an idyllic pedestrian mall, no automobile traffic allowed. An important part of the Memphis Cook Convention Center is the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts…comedy, classical music, gospel music, and of course, Elvis. Getting around in Memphis is easy. The Memphis Cook Convention Center is located on the downtown trolley line where you can zip to restaurants, theater, and attractions—or just take the leisure route and enjoy the cityscape and views of the Mississippi River. Reception for the Symposium will be held at the Memphis Zoo on Monday, July 7th. Imagine having a zoo all to yourself. And having supper there. And not waiting on long lines to get upclose-and-personal at the exhibits. And doing this with friends 2 and family. Join all the attendees for a private, yes private, reception at the Memphis Zoo. Beginning at 18:00, the zoo is open for AP-S/URSI 2014 attendees only! A buffet dinner, ice cold beverages and desserts will be served at various areas throughout the zoo. We are confident you will have a professionally productive week while enjoying meetings with old friends, making new friends and broadening cultural horizons. Welcome to Memphis.

Andriulli, ENST Bretagne Eric Michielssen, The University of Michigan Location: L3 This course reviews the state of the art in effective preconditioning techniques for integral equations pertinent to the analysis of electromagnetic boundary value problems. The techniques covered permit the construction of rapidly convergent iterative solvers for electric and combined field integral equations and as such are a perfect complement to fast multipole and related accelerators. Applications of these techniques range from antenna analysis to the characterization of microwave devices and circuits, the analysis of electromagnetic compatibility phenomena, and the synthesis of metamaterials. The course will cover theoretical and practical issues related to the development and implementation of several preconditioners, including those that derive from Calderon identities. Moreover, the course will detail the incorporation of the presented techniques into integral equation codes and their interaction with fast matrix-vector multiplication schemes. FD3 Near-fields in Computational Electromagnetics: A Novel Regularization Technique Speaker: Alireza Baghai-Wadji, University of Cape Town Location: L4 Method of Moments (MoMs), in its originally conceived form, or in any of its more sophisticated advanced variations, continues to be one of the most powerful numerical techniques in computational electromagnetics available today. The steps involved are well understood and the accuracies achievable are impressive. Since the involved system matrices are dense, several powerful strategies have been proposed to remedy this deficiency without compromising the distinguishing features of the MoMs substantially. The application of the MoMs involves choosing appropriate basis- and weighting functions, constructing dyadic Green’s functions, and regularizing weak-, strong- or hyperstrong singularities. The latter step becomes considerably more challenging when simulating microwave device characteristics in multi-scale multi-physics environments. This course focuses on the regularization of dyadic Green’s functions and the near-field phenomena and features the following computationally relevant topics in great detail: (i) Basisand weighting functions will be reviewed by introducing general notions of functional spaces and their duals. Wavelets and dual wavelets, as well as frames and dual frames will be introduced in terms of illustrative examples. A brief discourse on joint timefrequency transforms and multi-resolution analysis will be offered to further clarify modern notions of analysis- and synthesis functions, based on the overarching concept of the resolution of identity. These considerations naturally pave the way for constructing 13 customized basis- and weighting functions. Optimally-localized smooth functions including Wannier functions will be discussed. (ii) Maxwell’s equations will be transformed into an equivalent diagonalized form with its utmost favourable properties. Diagonalization is amenable to symbolic computation, and its realization follows a recipe with a few simple steps only. Following the recipe, Maxwell’s equations in free space, anisotropic-, and bi-anisotropic media can be handled with comparable simplicity. Diagonalization opens the door to a myriad of powerful techniques for investigating the nature of Green’s functions’ singularities, and their systematic and automatic regularization. (iii) It will be demonstrated how basis- and weighting functions can be constructed from the asymptotic tails of dyadic Green’s functions in spectral domain. (iv) The culmination of the course is the introduction of a recently-developed regularization technique, which will be applied to dyadic Green’s functions - in closed as well as numerical forms. A wealth of carefully-chosen examples from electro- and magneto-statics, electrodynamics, photonics and plasmonics in two- and three-dimensional isotropic, anisotropic, and bi-anisotropic (dispersive) media will be presented. A comprehensive manuscript, well over 250 pages, will be made available to course participants. FD4 Phi Coprocessor and Acceleration Techniques for Computational Electromagnetic Methods Wenhua Speakers: Wenhua Yu and Xiaoling Yang, 2COMU, Inc. Location: L5 In this short course, we introduce the architecture of Phi Coprocessor that is a new and powerful numerical acceleration platform, programming techniques and acceleration techniques in computational electromagnetic methods. The examples will be in acceleration for the parallel FDTD methods and matrix operations in MoM and FEM. This short course introduces how to modify your serial code to run on Phi Coprocessor in the parallel format. We also introduce how to use Phi Coprocessor to accelerate an existing homegrown or commercial EM software. Phi Coprocessor can be used as a regular CPU and runs the EM code compiled on Intel Xeon E3 and E5 with slight code modifications. Phi Coprocessor IS NOT a GPU and IS a general hardware EM acceleration simulation platform. FD6 The Art and Science of UWB Antennas Speaker: Dr. Hans Schantz, Q-Track Location: L6 The wide scale commercial deployment of ultra-wideband (UWB) systems has led to increased interest in UWB antenna designs. In many cases, though, investigators have unknowingly resurrected already known designs rather than developing new ones. Also, the subtleties of UWB antenna physics and design are not always obvious to those more familiar with narrowband antennas. For instance, the spectral and impedance matching properties of a UWB antenna exert a profound influence on an overall UWB system design. 14 This workshop will enable attendees to: Understand basic antenna physics as applied to UWB antennas Quickly and correctly apply UWB antennas to current projects Design and analyze UWB antennas Integrate these antennas in an RF system Based on the author’s 2005 text, and including material from the forthcoming second edition, this workshop is available in a full day (eight hour) format presenting nearly 500 slides. FD7 Timed Arrays Speaker: Randy L. Haupt, Colorado School of Mines Location: L8 The term “phased array” implies a narrow band approach due to the term “phased”. Thus, this short course title replaces “phased” with “timed” and concentrates on any aspect of an antenna array that must be viewed from a time perspective. A timed perspective is needed when wideband signals are important. Phase shifters no longer sufficiently align the signals when adding them together. Time is also important if the array is change states such as for adaptive arrays or reconfigurable arrays. In these cases, components change array properties in order to meet some performance standard. This short course explains a variety of issues related to antenna arrays in the time domain. Outline Timed and Phased Array Antennas Array and Signal Basics Array Feeds T/R Modules Time delay units in an array Wideband elements Adaptive Nulling Reconfigurable Arrays Sunday, July 6, 08:00 - 12:00 HD1 Electromagnetic Metamaterials: Modeling and Applications from Radio-Frequencies to the Visible Speaker: Andrea Alù, The University of Texas at Austin Location: L10 This short course will provide a broad introduction to the field of electromagnetic metamaterials, covering a wide range of topics, from the theoretical approaches to study anomalous wave propagation in arrays of inclusions near resonance and the relevant challenges in describing the wave propagation in these arrays in terms of a homogeneous material, to their application in a variety of fields of research and over a wide spectrum of frequencies. After a background on homogenization theory and proper modeling of metamaterials, the course will focus on various exciting properties and applications of metamaterials, in order to realize electromagnetic cloaks, negative-index 15 materials, sub-diffractive waveguides and antennas, enhanced nonlinearities and nonreciprocity, sensing, imaging and energy harvesting devices, nanocircuits and nanoantennas, and various other exciting wave phenomena. I will discuss in detail how these concepts may be applied to overcome current technological challenges and provide breakthroughs in applied fields related to electromagnetics, radio-science and optics. HD2 Intelligent Antenna Design Using Characteristic Mode Analysis Speakers: Martin Vogel, Gopinath Gampala, and C.J. Reddy EM Software & Systems (USA) Inc. Location: L11 The theory of Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA) is a wellknown method that allows for the analysis of arbitrary structures by solving a generalized eigenvalue equation derived from the Method of Moments (MoM) impedance matrix. The resulting eigenvalues and eigenvectors give insight into the resonating behavior of structures such as antennas. This helps designers to follow a systematic, intelligent approach rather than a brute force method, by looking at the eigenvalue spectrum and the eigenvector distribution. The approach is based on insight in the fundamental resonance characteristics of antenna geometries and of the structures on which they are mounted. This insight aids in choosing the locations of the excitations on the antenna and of the antennas on the platform. Furthermore, knowledge of the coupling between excitations and modes enables the design engineer to synthesize the desired antenna pattern by exciting a linear combination of modal patterns. This is a deterministic approach, based on insight in physics. It contrasts with an approach in which an optimization routine is used to explore a large many-dimensional design space with few constraints. This short course will present a refresher on the theory of characteristic modes and practical examples illustrating use of CMA for variety of antenna designs. In this course attendees will learn computation of characteristic modes for arbitrary geometries visualization of character currents and radiation patterns use of modal significance and mode tracking for antenna design use of CMA for antenna placement on structures antenna design process for using CMA practical antenna design examples HD3 Low-profile Natural and MetamaterialConcept Antennas Speaker: Hisamatsu Nakano, Hosei University, Koganei, Tokyo, Japan Location: L12 Low-profile antennas have been an ongoing topic of interest in the antenna field for over four decades. Their inherent characteristics of compactness, low aerodynamic resistance, and durability make them attractive for use in modern communication systems, particularly mobile systems and earth-satellite communication systems. As these systems advance, the need for smaller, more 16 robust low-profile designs to meet ever-stricter system requirements has driven the field of low-profile antenna design forward. With this trend has come the need for new antenna design references; this short course is intended to help meet this need, covering recent progress in low-profile natural and metamaterial-concept antennas. This course is composed of three chapters. Chapter 1 summarizes the analysis methods for low-profile natural and metamaterialconcept antennas. The method of moments and the explicit and implicit finite-difference time-domain methods are briefly described. In addition, an equivalent-circuit representation for metamaterial-concept antennas is presented and useful design equations are explained. Chapter 2 presents the following natural antennas: (N1) Inverted L-F card antenna, (N2) Fan- and ellipticalshaped card antennas, (N3) Fan-shaped base station antenna, (N4) Conducting body of revolution with a shorted parasitic ring (BOR-SPR) for a base station antenna, (N5) Linearly-polarized rhombic grid array for a beam scanning antenna, (N6) Circularlypolarized loop-based grid array for a beam scanning antenna, (N7) Tilted beam high-gain antenna system composed of a patch and an inhomogeneous plate, (N8) Curl antenna array for satellite communications, and (N9) Composite spiral and helical antenna for realizing a tilted beam. In addition, Chapter 3 discusses the following metamaterial-concept antennas: (M1) Line antenna for frequency beam-scanning, (M2) Loop antenna for linearly polarized broadside beam radiation, (M3) Loop antenna for counter circularly polarized dual-band radiation, (M4) Two-arm spiral antenna for counter circularly polarized dual-band radiation, and (M5) Helical antenna for counter circularly polarized dual-band radiation. Note that the antenna heights of the metamaterial-concept loop, and spiral antennas are approximately 1/100 of the wavelength at the lowest operating frequency. HD5 Advanced Impedance Matching and Impedance Analysis for Antenna Applications Speaker: Jussi Rahola, Optenni Ltd., Finland Location: L13 The course is targeted for antenna and RF engineers and researchers who study new antenna concepts and who need to use matching circuits in their work. It reviews the definitions of the reflection coefficient, S and Z parameters (also in the multiport case) and the Smith chart so that the course can be used as theory refresher for all antenna engineers. It is also explaining the theory of power waves, which makes the understanding of impedance matching to complex generator impedances easier. The course will present some novel views on matching circuit design. For example it will be demonstrated that the goal of matching circuit design using realistic component models is to obtain best possible transfer of power, and thus not to obtain the best possible impedance match, which may seem paradoxical at first. Simultaneous multiport matching and the design of tunable matching networks will be discussed. Tools for estimating the obtainable bandwidth and worst-case isolation for non-resonant antennas will be discussed. Overall, the course will cover the theory and practical aspects of matching circuit design and impedance analysis and it offers new 17 information to both beginners and more senior antenna and RF experts. Sunday, July 6, 13:00 - 17:00 HD6 4G and Next-Generation Handheld Device Antennas Speaker: Kin-Lu Wong, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan Location: L10 Promising 4G/multiband and next-generation handheld device antennas such as the smartphone and tablet device antennas will be presented. Small-size yet multiband/wideband design techniques for the LTE/WWAN handheld device antennas will be described, and typical antenna structures that can lead to low-profile, wideband handheld device antennas will be shown. The ground antenna design concept suitable for applications in slim 4G handheld devices to achieve very small antenna size with resonant length less than 0.1 wavelength will be introduced. Some promising handheld device antenna structures including the high-isolation antenna systems for MIMO or diversity operation will be discussed. Future perspectives for next-generation handheld device antennas including the tunable ground antennas having fixed simple antenna structures with active or passive switching circuits (that is, circuitdefined antennas for multiband operation) will be addressed. Such circuit-defined antennas are different from traditional multiband antennas obtained mainly from configuring the antenna structures. Design examples of using passive switching circuits to achieve lowprofile, small-size 4G/multiband handheld device antennas will be presented. HD7 On-Chip Antennas: The Last Barrier to True RF System-on-Chip Speaker: Atif Shamim, King Abdullah University of Science & Technology Location: L11 Antennas are integral part of wireless communication devices and traditionally have remained off the chip resulting in large sized modules. In the last few years, the increased level of integration provided by silicon technologies and emerging applications at millimeter wave frequencies has helped to achieve true System-onChip solutions bringing the antennas on the chip. This is because antenna sizes at these frequencies become small enough for practical on-chip realization. At the same time, there are a number of challenges to overcome, for instance impedance matching with active components, silicon substrate losses, layout restrictions, on-chip characterization to name a few. Furthermore, the codesign of circuits and antenna which sometime have contradicting requirements need knowledge of both the domains. This half-day short course aims to discuss the above challenges in detail as well as the proposed solutions. It includes a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art in the field and discusses the upcoming trends in on-chip antennas integrated with circuits from an applications perspective where they are being used in Terahertz, implantable, 18 MEMS and Energy Harvesting applications. A number of onchip antennas and circuits co-design examples will be shown, particularly for the mainstream CMOS. HD9 Wearable Antennas Speaker: Dr. Albert Sabban, Ort Braude College Location: L12 Communication, medical and cellular industry is in continuous growth in the last few years. Low profile compact antennas are crucial in the development of wearable human systems. Several wearable antennas will be presented in the course. Design considerations, computational results and measured results on the human body of several compact wideband printed antennas with high efficiency will be presented in the course. HD10 The Spectral Domain Method in Electromagnetics Speaker: David R. Jackson, University of Houston Location: L13 This short course will present an overview of the spectral-domain immittance method in electromagnetics. The spectral-domain immittance method is powerful and systematic method for solving for the fields from sources in a layered medium. Applications include microstrip and printed antennas, microstrip lines, and sources that are on or within the earth. The method allows for a calculation of the total fields as well as a calculation of spacewave and surface-wave powers, so that the radiation efficiency of printed antennas can easily be calculated. 19 Social Program On-Site Social Events Reviewers Lunch (by invitation only) When: Monday, July 7, 12:00 noon Where: Ballroom A This lunch is open to registered attendees who have served as reviewers on the Transactions, AWPL, and Magazine in the past year and have received an invitation to participate in the reviewers lunch.

The AP-S Education Committee received 22 very competitive and international two-page proposals from universities in Greece, Finland, India, Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, UK and USA. Apart from first-time entries from quite a number of universities/ countries, it is also noteworthy that three of the entries are either cross-institutional or cross-country. We also salute team mentors who make the special effort to motivate their students to join the Contest, year after year (you know who you are!). Indeed, the Education Committee strongly believes that the Contest can bring significant value to the students’ university education and future career. We sincerely hope that more and more university teachers will also share in this vision: both to encourage their students to join and to volunteer as team mentors. This year’s challenge concerns the design of RFID antennas for a chosen application. The student teams should imagine that they have been commissioned by a company to provide an RFID system that will solve a particular problem. Concurrently, the system should be educational in showing how antennas work. The proposed should be portable and the total cost of building it should not exceed 1500 USD. The evaluation criteria for the preliminary design were creativity, likelihood of achieving the design goals, educational value, and quality of written materials. From the 22 preliminary design proposals, six semi-finalist teams were chosen in mid-November last year. The semifinalists had about five months to build their proposed antenna systems, as well as to write a detailed technical paper and make a youtube video demonstration. All the judges were impressed by the end results, which would not have been possible without great enthusiasm and countless hours of hard work. The semi-finalists (in random order) are: 1) Team Name: Aalto ELEC, Aalto University, Finland Project Title: RFID-based Book Finder Members: Aapo Oksman, Aapo Vienamo, Mikko Heino and Jalmari Toivanen Mentor: Ville Viikari 37 2) Team Name: QueenTecnun, Queen Mary University of London and Tecnun, University of Navarra, Spain Project Title: RFID-based Sensorless System to Detect Humidity of Seed Growing in Flowerpots for Industrial Greenhouses Members: Qianyun Zhang, Santiago Pagola, Imanol Granada and Daniel Alonso Mentor: Yue Gao 3) Team Name: Lx-ITeam, Universidade de Lisboa and Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Portugal Project Title: RFID-based Smart Blood Stock System Members: Andela Zaric, Catarina C. Cruz, António Miguel P. de Matos and Marta R. da Silva Mentor: Carlos A. Fernandes 4) Team Name: IITK, Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India Project Title: Orientation Detection using Passive UHF RFID Technology Members: Amrita Bal, Bhanu Pratap Singh, Deepam Kedia and Gaurangi Gupta Mentor: A. R. Harish 5) Team Name: Electrokey, Lund University, Sweden Project Title: An UHF RFID System to Open Doors: The Electrokey Project Members: Edward Jovcic, Filip Olsson, William Tidelund, Sebastian Andersson and Doruk Tayli Mentor: Mats Gustafsson 6) Team Name: RFID Bulls, Lund University, Sweden Project Title: RFID System Using Direct Digital Manufacturing: Student Tracking on Bus Members: Eduardo A. Rojas-Nastrucci, Ramiro A. Ramirez H., Sean Murphy and William Mitchell Mentor: Thomas Weller The evaluation of the submitted technical papers and youtube videos was based on creativity, completeness of the description, functionality of the system as determined by the video, educational value, and quality of written materials. A decision was then made on the three finalist teams, and they are: Aalto ELEC (Finland), LxI-Team (Portugal) and IITK (India). Each finalist team will receive stipends of up to 2,500 USD for team representative(s) to attend this Symposium and demonstrate their working designs. Based on the on-site demo 38 and the semi-finalist evaluation results, the first-, second-, and third-prize winners will be selected to receive cash prizes of $1500, $750 and $250 USD, respectively. The winners will be announced at the Symposium’s Awards’ Banquet. In addition, the finalist teams may revise their final reports for possible publication in the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine, under the Education Column. Many thanks are due to the judges who worked hard to provide careful evaluation of the entries, including members of the AP-S Education Committee for the evaluation of the preliminary designs, as well as Zhi Ning Chen (National University of Singapore, Singapore), KVS Rao (Kymeta Corporation, USA), Leena Ukkonen (Tampere University of Technology, Finland) and Trevor Bird (CSIRO, Australia) for the semi-finalist and finalist evaluations. The public demonstration of the finalist designs will be stationed in the poster and exhibition area at this Symposium, on Tuesday, July 8, between 09:00-12:00 and 13:00-16:00. Please put a mark in your schedule and show up, to support these fantastic teams!
