EUROPEAN SCHOOL OF ANTENNAS 3rd IN A SERIES COURSE ON Antennas and Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications (1st July 2013 to 5th July 2013) http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/group/antennas/ESoA_BCWC.html
The course registration will include a one-day IET Seminar on Antennas & Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications - Friday 5th July 2013, IET London: Savoy Place. The course addresses the main issues related to body-centric wireless communications from antennas and radio propagation prospective including measurement techniques, statistical analysis, analytical and numerical studies and system-related aspects of such communication networks. The course will introduce the current state-of-the-art and potential development in the area including challenges and theoretical limitations. Concepts such as diversity antennas, textile electronics, mm-wave systems, Ultra Wideband communications, etc. will be covered in this course with relation to theoretical and practical aspects.
