2 ISAP 20092009 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation
The 14th International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP 2009) is held during October
20-23, 2009 at the Imperial Queen s Park Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand. This year the symposium isorganized and sponsored by the Electrical Engineering/ Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications andInformation Technology (ECTI) Association of Thailand in cooperation with King Mongkut s University of Technology North Bangkok. It is technically co-sponsored by the IEICE, IEEE Antennasand Propagation Society, IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, IEICE Bangkok Section, IEEEThailand Section and IEEE MTT/AP/ED Thailand Chapter. The objective of the ISAP 2009 is to continue and accelerate the momentum of researching in the area of antennas and propagation and bring
together worldwide researchers to discuss and exchange experiences in this field.
