Da Nang (VNA) – The IEEE International Conference on Antenna Measurements and Applications (IEEE CAMA) 2024 opened in the central city of Da Nang on October 9, gathering a large number of scientists and experts from 20 countries and territories.

The conference comprises regular and special sessions with more than 150 reports delivered by distinguished speakers, including Prof. Yahya Rahmat-Samii from the California University in the US and Prof. Karu Esselle from the University of Technology Sydney, Australia.

According to Le Quang Son, Vice President of the University of Da Nang, the conference aims to create an interdisciplinary forum where leading scientists, experts and young researchers can meet and share knowledge and the latest achievements in research and development of antenna systems and antenna arrays.

This is also a chance for the University of Da Nang to show its commitments to expanding the semiconductor human resources training with a goal of turning Da Nang into a centre for semiconductor technology and artificial intelligence.

It offers an opportunity to promote connections and cooperation among research institutes, international organisations, and the business community, giving deeper understanding of the challenges and potential of emerging technologies, thus promoting cooperation in developing innovative solutions and applications in the fields of communications, defence, environmental protection, and health care.

IEEE CAMA 2024 provides an interdisciplinary forum for sharing experience and discussions about state-of-the-art in the development of antennas and antenna systems with measurements in controlled and non-controlled (in-situ) environments, electromagnetic measurement techniques, scattering and diffraction measurements, near-field and far-field measurements, radar and RCS measurements, simulations and prediction of measurements in realistic configurations for various applications.

The conference will last to October 11./.
