Dear colleague,

It is my real pleasure to invite you to submit a paper to the 9th Edition
of the Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS2009) which is taking place
where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean in the Gibraltar Strait
overlooking Moroccan city of Tangiers in November 15-17, 2009.
MMS’2009 will provide an international forum for reporting progress and
recent developments in RF and microwave and in many other related topics
theory and applications.

:MMS2009 will consist of technical and invited sessions and keynote and
tutorial sessions covering the state-of-the art of several hot topics in RF
and microwave engineering and technology.

MMS’2009 will provide an international forum for reporting progress and
recent developments in RF and microwave theory and applications. Suggested
topics are listed below, but consideration will be given to papers on other
subjects.

1. Propagation, Scattering and diffraction 6. Interconnects
2. Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Circuits. 7. Waves in composite and
complex media
3. Photonics, non linear optics and devices 8. Antenna theory and
measurement
4. Microwaves and millimeterwave devices CAD 9. Medical applications and
biological effects.
5. RF and Wireless Technology and Applications 10. Others
As was done in the former editions, MMS2009 will also organize the Best
Paper competition for students attending and presenting their papers.
The papers accepted and presented in MMS2009 will be published in both
the MMS2009 Proceedings and in the IEEE Digital Library. Selected papers
from those presented in MMS2009 will be also published in special issues of
international journals as was also done in the former editions of this
international conference.
The following keynote talks are already confirmed:

1. SDR Based Power amplifiers /Transmitters for Advanced Wireless and
Satellite Communications, by Fadhel Ghannouchi, University of Calgary,
Canada
2. Microwave Antennas for Medical Applications, Koichi Ito, Research
Center for Frontier Medical Engineering, Chiba University, Japan
3. Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits for Adaptive Beamforming, Frank
Ellinger, Dresden University of Technology, Germany
4. The RF in RFID and the Improvement of Backscatter Radio Tag Efficiency
, John N. Sahalos, Radio-Communications Laboratory, Aristotle University of
Thessaloniki, Greece
5. UWB Antennas and Channel Characteristics, Werner Wiesbeck, Universität
Karlsruhe, Germany

There are also two invited sessions scheduled at MMS2009, namely,

- Inverse Scattering and Microwave Imaging, Salvatore Caorsi, University
of Pavia, Italy.
- Advances in Microwave Photonics, Tibor Berceli, Budapest University of
Technology and Economics, Hungary and Peter R Herczfeld, Drexel
University, USA.

Authors are invited to submit up to 4 pages extended abstract of their
papers by JUNE 30, 2009. This abstract
should explain clearly the content and relevance of the proposed
contribution and should be prepared according to IEEE standard
template for conference proceedings available at:

I would be really very grateful to you if you could diffuse this CFP over
any mailing list you have of people and institutions that might be
interested by this symposium.


Best wishes,
