"The place where it all began"

 

    Revolutionary Time
    April is the ideal time to be in Boston. The conference follows the
    world's oldest annual marathon, the Boston Marathon and the locally
    famous Patriots' Day holiday. Join the locals in a reenactment of
    Paul Revere's ride and the Revolutionary War battles at Lexington and
    Concord.

    Field Trips
    From "where it all began" to where "the future is being created".
    Take a half-day guided tour inside the 100-GHz upgrade to the MIT
    Lincoln Laboratory's Haystack radar. Go behind the scenes at
    Raytheon's MMIC R&D Center in Andover.

    Call for Papers
    During recent decades, radar systems have taken major steps forward
    with the development of many new major radar systems. This has been
    aided by the advances in technology and algorithms, e.g., commercial
    high throughput low-cost signal processors, MMIC T/R modules, and
    digital beamforming. Current and future developments of ground-based,
    sea-based, airborne and space-based military, civilian and commercial
    radar systems will be covered at this international symposium. 
    Student papers are being solicited.

Questions can be directed to: admin@radar2007.org

In addition to formal presentations, there will be poster presentations.
Authors who believe their papers are better suited to a poster format are
requested to so note on their summaries. The poster format provides
authors the opportunity to display their paper and related equipment or
visual aids and to discuss their information with the conference
participants. Both oral presentation and poster presentation papers will
be published in the proceedings. Poster paper authors will present a
2-minute oral summary of their work in suitable sessions.

        Exhibitors should contact: exhibits@radar2007.org
