ICUWB 2010 - IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband ( ICUWB 2010 )

ICUWB2010 will be held in Nanjing, China on September 20-23, 2010. This conference provides a forum for the latest UWB systems, technologies and applications in both microwave and millimeter wave bands. ICUWB 2010 is a continuation of a series of annual international UWB conferences held in Baltimore (2002), Reston-VA (2003), Oulu (2003), Kyoto (2004), ZÃ?rich (2005), Waltham (2006), Singapore (2007), Hannover (2008) and Vancouver (2009). This event is sponsored by Southeast University and IEEE MTT-S, technically co-sponsored by IEEE VTS, Antenna Society of CIE, IEEE Nanjing Section, IEEE Beijing Section, IEEE Shanghai Section, IEEE Harbin Section, IEEE Chengdu Section, etc.
Original research and developments in all area of interest to the UWB are welcomed. These papers must present previously unpublished works in the following broadly-defined scope. All accepted papers will be published by the IEEE and included in IEEEXplore.
ICUWB is intended to provide a broad international forum and nice opportunity for the researchers to present their new ideas and exchange information in all areas of UWB technology. We welcome you to join us and share your contributions at the conference.

Exhibition
An exhibition of research achievements and commercial products related to the conference topics will be held concurrently.
