Technical Paper Electronic Submission
Author Registration and Paper Summary Steps:
1. 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:
Technical
Paper Summary Submission Site
2. A four-page template for submitting the
paper summary will be available at the website: http://www.rfic2004.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”.
3. Submission: Deadlines:
5 January, 2004, only pdf-format
will be accepted.
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.
- Quality: Clarity of the writing and figures.
What is the context of the contribution to previous work?
- 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 by 18 February,
2004. Authors of accepted papers will receive copyright
release forms and instructions for publication and presentation.
Final Manuscripts must be received by 15
March, 2004 for publication in the RFIC Symposium Digest.
