Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our honour and pleasure to welcome you to

the 2nd International Symposium on Microwaves, Radar and Remote Sensing (MRRS-2008)

MRRS-2008 Symposium is organized in the framework of the 3rd World Congress “Aviation in the 21st Century. Aviation and Space Technology” by the National Aviation University, Kiev, Ukraine in collaboration with IEEE SP/AES Societies Ukraine (Kiev) Joint Chapter, IEEE AP/MTT/ED/AES/GRS/NPS/EMB Societies East Ukraine Joint Chapter, Co-sponsored/Technically sponsored by IEEE GRS, AES, SP, and MTT Societies, as well as URSI and EuMA.
The Symposium is planned to be a forum of ideas exchange and results discussion in the field of electromagnetic theory and applications; radar technology, systems and signal processing; remote sensing methods and data processing. Both passive and active methods and systems of all frequency bands are welcome.
The only specific demand of MRRS-2008 suggests that aerospace application of the results or their influence to aviation safety or security is desired to be indicated in the submissions. Aerospace systems and technologies always were the application field of the newest achievements in microwave and electronic theory, methods and technologies. That is why this demand does not limit the range of conference topics essentially.
The language of all papers, presentations and discussions at the MRRS 2008 will be only English.
Ukraine has extremely strong electromagnetic, microwave and radar community. Unfortunately, at present, majority of Ukrainian scientists still cannot attend International conferences in Western Europe, USA and other places outside Ukraine. The Symposium held in Kiev city gives a chance to discuss the research results between the Ukrainian and the Western scientists, and more broadly between scientists from the former USSR and interested scientists & experts from the rest of the World who are very encouraged to visit Kiev, World Aviation Congress and MRRS-2008 Symposium.
The first MRRS was held in September 2005 (http://congress.nau.edu.ua/mrrs/) and was very successful, gathered together about 100 participants from 18 countries in Kiev. Brief report of the MRRS-2005 can be found here in pdf format (1,9Mb).
Call for Papers MRRS 2008 is available at this website and also can be downloaded here in doc format (300Kb).
