COMCAS 2011 continues the tradition of providing a multidisciplinary forum for the
exchange of ideas in the areas of microwaves, antennas, communications, solid state
integrated circuits, sensing and electronic systems engineering. The conference re-visits
the venue which has proven to be attractive and enjoyable, with many opportunities for
networking, candid exchange of ideas and the building of a strong sense of community.
This year we will continue to expand the program to include RF and microwave
photonics, biomedical technologies, cognitive radios and networks, radio frequency
identification, electron devices and photonic means for IC inspection among other topics.
A diverse assembly of researchers, engineers and scientists will be invited to present their
ideas and discuss new results, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to view a
variety of interesting and innovative technologies in one location. Invited papers and
tutorial talks from international experts will be presented in key topical areas. In 2010,
Tel Aviv has been named the third-best city in the Middle East & Africa by Travel +
Leisure magazine, and the ninth-best beach city in the world by National Geographic.
Tel Aviv’s White City, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003, comprises the world’s
largest concentration of Modernist-style buildings. We do hope that you will come to exciting
and vibrant Tel Aviv, Israel in November 2011 to participate in the 3rd Annual IEEE COMCAS.
Original manuscripts are solicited in research areas related to microwaves, antennas,
communications, integrated circuits, Solid State Circuits, EMC, Electron Devices and
electronic systems including, but not limited to the following:
Active and Passive MW Components, RFICs, MMICs, Low Power Solid State Circuits, RF
Photonics, Microwave Plasmonics, Novel Antennas, Spectrum Data Base Issues, Phased
Arrays, Sensors and Sensor Systems, Radars, Wireless and Cellular Communications, C3/
C4 Modeling Simulation & Analysis (MS&A), RF Propagation to MMW Wavelengths, High
Power Amplifiers, Advanced Devices for Communications, MW GaAs and GaN technologies,
RF Filters, Modeling for EMC, MW Packaging and Interconnects, MEMs, Ultra-wide Band
Technology, Metrology and Parameter Extraction, Space-time Adaptive Processing, Cognitive
Radios/Radar and Spectral Processing; Power management of Integrated Circuits and Devices.
Contributions on emerging RF and microwave technology areas will be especially welcome.
Regular oral presentations will be 20 min. in length; there will also be Poster sessions.
All submitted papers will be peer reviewed and assessed on key accomplishments, technical
contribution , advancement of the state-of-the-art, originality and interest to the attendees.
Accepted papers will be published in the COMCAS 2011 Proceedings which will be available
through IEEE Xplore® after the conference.

Secretariat: (all inquiries) Papers should first be submitted as a 1 to 2 page summary to www.comcas.org

Please refer to the detailed author instructions provided on the conference website.
