The series of IEEE National Radar
Conferences, in conjunction with the International Radar Conference, has grown
to be the most important radar conference series in the world - bringing
together innovators, leaders, and users from the civil, space, and military
communities to address important issues and share the most recent advances in
radar. Join us in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the Wyndham Philadelphia at
Franklin Plaza hotel on April 26-29, 2004 and enjoy history and culture
while we explore together the latest radar developments and the innovative
technologies on which they are based.
The theme for this year's conference
is Innovative Radar Technologies - Expanding System Capabilities. Radar
has always been a multidisciplinary science, drawing from developments and
understanding in materials, mathematics, signal and data processing, physics,
optics, and system architecture. New understanding of materials and processes
and new analytic techniques backed up by upward spiraling computational
capability is expanding radar capability - putting large radars into space, and
small radars on automobiles for collision avoidance. Dramatic developments in
the subsystems of radar: antenna, transmitter, receiver, and processor lead to
new configurations and new capabilities such as foliage and ground penetration
and ultra-wideband systems. At the same time innovative technology provides
more challenges for radar detection: e.g. reduced radar cross-section. This
conference will serve as a forum to exchange ideas on research and
applications. In addition to the presentation of contributed papers in high
quality oral and poster technical sessions, the committee has planned a
conference agenda that includes invited talks from leading experts within the
radar community, an excellent selection of tutorials and exhibits, and
interesting keynote and banquet speakers.
Philadelphia is not only the
birthplace of America but has been a driving force in science and engineering
innovation. This innovation is represented by Benjamin Franklin's
accomplishments, ENIAC, the world's first digital computer, and the recent
Nobel Prize laureates in Physics. In the days preceding and following the
conference, attendees will have the opportunity to visit (1) historic sights
such as the Liberty Bell,
Independence Hall and the
National Constitution Center,
(2) world class museums including the the Rodin Museum, the
Philadelphia Museum of Art,
The Franklin Institute Science
Museum, and the Academy
of Natural Sciences, (3) The Kimmel
Center, (4) attend concerts, theatres, and sporting events, and (5) dine in
some of the world's finest restaurants.
Come join us for the 2004 IEEE Radar
Conference in Philadelphia. |
