1 Dear friends and colleagues It is our privilege and a real honor to invite you to the International IEEE Conference on Microwaves, Communications, Antennas and Electronic Systems (IEEE COMCAS 2009), which will be held at the David Intercontinental Tel-Aviv Hotel, Israel, November 9-11,2009. COMCAS 2009 continues the tradition of providing a multidisciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas in the areas of microwaves, antennas, communications, solid state integrated circuits, sensing and electronic systems engineering. This year we will expand the program to include RF and microwave photonics, biomedical technologies, cognitive radios and networks, radar, radio frequency identification, electron devices and photonic means for IC inspection among other topics. The 2009 program will offer a very impressive list of speakers, including expert R&D engineers, top scientists and managers from the US, Europe, Far East and Israel. The program will include Keynote presentations of up-to-date and fascinating topics. New this year! The ED is joining the very popular and well established Microwaves (MTT), Antennas (AP), ComSoc, EMC, SSC and Radars (AES) program. The result will be an expanded program that should be of interest to a wider group of engineers and decision makers from the technology, communication, radar and electronic systems communities by presenting technology, circuits, system aspects and innovations in these fields. Prof. Joseph (Joe) Mitola from the Stevens Institute of Technology, NJ, USA has already confirmed his attendance as a keynote speaker and will lecture on Cognitive Radio Research and Commercialization Challenges and Opportunities. Present and past presidents of IEEE societies, directors of R&D institutions and international distinguished technology leaders are involved as members of the StC and TPC in COMCAS COMCAS2008 attracted over 700 delegates from many companies and R&D institutions. Last year s very successful event and the innovations made in the program will surely draw an exceeding number of participants to the COMCAS 2009 Conference. The program will be complemented with a professional exhibition, offering companies and agencies a unique opportunity to visit Israel and present CAD tools, test equipment, RF, MW and MMW components and modules for electronic systems applications to the microwave, antenna and wireless community. Visiting the exhibition will be free of charge. We encourage you to take an active part in this international Conference and participate in the exhibition and/or advertise your products and services in the Official Exhibitors Conference Catalogue, which will be handed out to all conference participants.
