Welcome Message

The 2006 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2006) to be held at Orchard Hotel in Singapore on November 1-4, 2006, is the 11^th ISAP in its series, organized and sponsored by the IEICE Singapore Section. This symposium is cosponsored by the Communications Society of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE). This symposium is held under the technical co-sponsorship of the National University of Singapore, the Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Nanyang Technological University, and the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) of the IEEE, and is held in cooperation with the NUS Centre for Microwave and RF (CMRF), the Institute of Engineers, Singapore (IES), the Antennas and Propagation Professional Network of the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE), the International Union of Radio Science (URSI), the Chinese Institute of Electronics (CIE), and the Korea Electromagnetic Engineering Society (KESS).

Since its inception, the International Symposia on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP) were always held in Japan. On August 3 to 5 in 2005, the ISAP series migrated outside of Japan onto Seoul, Korea, for the first time in its history. The 2005 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2005) was held at the Seoul’s  KyoYuk MunHwa HoeKwan organized by the Korea Electromagnetic Engineering Society. This year,  ISAP2006 is sponsored and organized by the IEICE Singapore Section in Singapore, for the second time outside of Japan in its history. The ISAP series provides an international forum for exchanging information, reporting latest results and sharing new ideas on research and development in antennas, propagation, electromagnetic wave theory, systems, and related areas.

Singapore is a dynamic city in the Asia Pacific regime, having a fine reputation as a clean Garden City as well as one of the safest and most livable metropolitan in the world. November of 2006 falls in the rainy season (versus the dry season) in Singapore; and the weather in this season is most comfortable with temperature ranging from 22C to 28C.  The symposium venue is located in one of the most fashionable district in Singapore and there are many things to do after an exhilarating day at the symposium.  You can stroll along the Orchard Shopping Street as well as the Marina Square and China Town areas and enjoy the nice sunshine outdoor; or alternatively, you could also enjoy the wonderful shopping time along the Orchard Road.

We look forward to seeing you at the ISAP'06 in Singapore on November 1-4, 2006.
