2003 APS Conference

August 20, 2003 By

The 2003 IEEE AP-S Symposium and North American Radio Science Meeting were held on June 22 -27, 2003 in Columbus, Ohio at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, with a large number of Ole Miss Electrical Engineering students and faculty in attendance. Ten authored and co-authored papers, listed below, where presented by 9 students and faculty members that attended this year's annual symposium/meeting. (Ole Miss students and faculty authors and co-authors are italicized)

The conference addressed advancements and in ovations in the fields of electromagnetics, antennas, wave propagation, and other topics of interest to AP-S and URSI. Two student paper competitions, special sessions, workshops, and short courses were sponsored in addition to the regular sessions that addressed topics of current interest and state-of-the-art advancements.
