The Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) National Radar Conference, in conjunction with the International Radar Conference, has grown to be the most important radar conference in the world - bringing together innovators, leaders, and users from the civil, space, and military communities to address important issues and share the most recent advances in radar. The 2003 IEEE Radar Conference was recently held nearby at the Marriott Hotel in Huntsville, Alabama on May 5-8, 2003.

The theme for this year's conference is Radar-- Exploring the Universe. Recent advances in digital technology have enabled the implementation of new radar approaches that were just analytical curiosities a few years ago. As a result, dramatic performance improvements have been achieved in clutter processing, target location accuracy, antijamming, and other areas. The challenge is how to best apply these new digital technologies and other advances, while identifying and developing new technologies for the future - a focus that was addressed at this conference.

Three (3) papers, co-authored by 6 students and faculty members from the Electrical Engineering Department at The University of Mississippi, were presented at Radar Con03.

Papers Presented by Electrical Engineering students and faculty:
Matthew J. Inman, Atef Z. Elsherbeni, and Charles E. Smith, Finite Difference Time Domain Simulation of Moving Objects.
Abdelnasser A. Eldek, Atef Z. Elsherbeni, Charles E. Smith, and Kai-Fong Lee, Wideband Slot Antennas for Radar Applications.
Ahmed A. Kishk, Dielectric Resonator Antennas, a Candidate for Radar Applications.
