INSTRUCTIONS
FOR PREPARATION OF
SYMPOSIUM PAPERS
Antenna Engineer
Antenna Applications, Inc.
Abstract: Full-length papers, up to 30 pages, submitted to the conference will be published in a volume measuring 8-1/2 x 11 inches. The volume will be produced directly from the author-supplied electronic manuscript by using black and white photocopying. The impression region will be 6 x 8-1/2 inches (15cm x 22cm), the margins will be 1-1/4 inches all around. All tables, including captions, and illustrations, including legends, must conform to these dimensions. All text should be single-spaced, 12-point Times font. The abstract should be bold face. All papers should be prepared according to the format outlined below to assure that they present a uniform appearance in the published volume.
1. Title
The title of the paper should be in capital letters and centered between the left and right margins of the page. If possible, use 16-point bold type for the title. The author(s) and organizational affiliation should begin on the third line below the title and be centered.
2. Abstract
An abstract should precede the main text of the paper. The abstract should be typed in bold-face 12-point Times font.
3. Section Designations
Use the numerical-decimal numbering system (Arabic Numerals) of identifying the main and subheadings.
4. Text and Figures
All text should be typed in a single, full-width column, on one side of the page only. Do not use multiple columns. Do not number pages. Use 12-point Times font for text. The total paper including all text, references, figures and tables is normally 15-30 pages in length. Figures should be clear and neatly drawn with sufficient contrast to provide clearly readable images. Insure that color images preserve their information content when photocopied; the printed proceedings will be reproduced by monochrome (black & white) photocopying. Photographs should be converted to *.GIF, *.JPG or *.TIF format or an equivalent format and inserted into the manuscript. Figure labels should be at least 0.080 inches (2mm) high when produced in final size. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively and may be placed within the text or at the end.
5. Equations
Number equations sequentially, and type the equation number flush with the right-hand margins and enclosed in parentheses. For display purposes, indent equations and place them three line spaces below the preceding line and three line spaces above the following line of the text.
6. Shipping Instructions
The original manuscript in electronic
form should arrive by 13 August 2010.
A Clearance for Public Release form, completed and signed by an
appropriate official, must also be submitted with the paper. The Clearance
for Public Release form is available at the symposium web site, Clearance Form.
Papers and clearance forms should be sent to: Daniel H. Schaubert, University
of Massachusetts, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, 100
Natural Resources Road,
Authors are requested to submit their paper via email or on CD sent via express mail. This submission should conform to the following guidelines:
(a) If possible, please send your paper electronically in *.pdf format. If you cannot provide a *.pdf file, please send your paper as *.doc from WORD or Word Perfect. Include all fonts in the *.pdf file and do not enable protection features that prevent us from assembling your paper into the final proceedings and properly numbering the pages. Do not number pages.
(b) All text and figures should be in a single electronic file that is ready to print and display on the symposium website. If the file exceeds 7 MB, our email server cannot accept it. In this case, you may:
(1) Send a CD with your paper in *.doc and/or *.pdf files, or
(2) Split the file into multiple files that can be emailed and recombined by us into a single file identical to your original paper, or
(3) Contact the organizers to arrange other means of delivery.
(c) If you cannot send a *pdf file or if you must split your file into smaller files, please send a paper copy via express mail. We will use this to verify accuracy of the reconstructed paper.
(d) Email your submission to allerton@ecs.umass.edu.
Postal and express deliveries should be sent to:
