Author
Registration and Paper Summary Steps:
-
Author registration form: title, author(s), and affiliation(s),
and statement of exclusivity. This form also includes a 30-50
word abstract (describe the subject, its importance, and how the
work contributes to the field). This required information must
be submitted at the website: http://www.rfic2003.org/
- A
four-page template for submitting the paper summary will be available
at the website: http://www.rfic2003.org/
for authors to copy. This four-page template should be used for
writing summary, including texts and figures. Make sure that
the paper summary, including figures, does not exceed 4 pages,
and the filesize is less than 1 MB. For PDF files, use Distiller
and select "embed all fonts". For .doc files, make sure
there are no linked objects.
- Submission:
Deadlines:
December 9, 2002 for *.doc or *.pdf format.
Submissions will be acknowledged instantly.
- HARD
copy, and FAX submissions will NOT be accepted.
- More
than 4 pages of summaries will NOT be accepted.
- Late
submissions will NOT be considered.
Authors
of accepted papers will be required to submit a detailed paper,
which includes clear photos of the IC's described, for publication
in the Symposium Digest.
Paper
Selection Criteria:
All submissions must be in
English. Papers will be selected based on the following factors:
- Originality:
The paper must be unique and significant.
- Quantitative
content: The summary should give an explicit description of the
work with complete supporting data and adequate references to
the existing literature.
- Clarity:
The writing and figures must clearly communicate the author's
purpose and results.
- Interest
to RFIC membership: Why should this work be reported at this conference?
Clearances:
Authors are cautioned to obtain all required company and government
clearances prior to submitting a paper. A statement that such clearances
have been obtained, signed by the submitting author, must accompany
the final manuscript of each accepted paper.
Presentation
Format:
- Full-Length
Papers report significant contributions, advancements,
or applications of microwave technology in a formal presentation
format with limited audience interaction.
- Interactive
Forum Papers provide an opportunity for authors to present
theoretical or experimental results in greater detail, and in
poster format, and/or to display hardware, perform demonstrations,
and/or conduct discussions in an informal manner with interested
colleagues.
Student
Paper Contest:
A student paper contest will be held as part of the Symposium. Student
papers will be reviewed in the same manner as all other conference
papers. To be considered for an award, the student must have been
a full time student (9 hours/term graduate, 12 hours/term undergraduate)
during the time the work was performed. The student must be the
lead author of the paper and must present the paper at the
Symposium. The student is required to provide the e-mail address
of the advisor as a part of the paper submission process. A memorandum
will be automatically sent to the advisor to certify that the work
was done by the student. Papers accepted for the competition will
be judged on content. First, second, and third prizes will be awarded.
Notification: Authors will be notified
of the evaluation result
in January 2003. Authors of accepted papers will receive
copyright release forms and instructions for publication and
presentation. Final Manuscripts must be received by Monday,
March 10, 2003 for publication in the RFIC Symposium Digest.
