1 |Background of APMC 2023
2023 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC 2023), is the top and most importantlarge-scale microwave international academic conference in the Asia-Pacific region
recognized by industry, government and academia, dedicated to international exchange andpromotion of research and application of microwave, radio and radio frequency circuits,antennas, electromagnetic compatibility and other related fields. Since the first conference
was held by India in 1986, it has a long history of 35 years. APMC is held once a year. The
unspoken rule in the last 20 years is that Japan hosts it every 4 years, while Taiwan, Mainland
China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, South Korea, India and other countries take turns tohost it. Recently, Malaysia and Indonesia have joined the list of host countries. The hostcountry has been determined 10 years ago or even earlier, which shows that countries pay
great attention to this conference. Taiwan undertook APMC for the first time in 1994, hostedby Professor Song-Tsuen Peng (IEEE Fellow) of National Chiao Tung University (now asNational Yang Ming Chiao Tung University). In 2001, Professor Powen Hsu (IEEE Fellow) ofNational Taiwan University served as the General Chair for the second APMC hosted in Taiwan.
In 2012, Professor Kin-Lu Wong of National Sun Yat-sen University served as the General Chair
for third APMC hosted in Taiwan. Especially since the 1990s, radio and network technologies(5G and 6G mobile communications) have been growing rapidly all over the world. Taiwan
plays an important role in microwave, radio frequency IC and antenna circuit design, wirelesscommunication software and hardware technology, etc. with pivotal contribution. Being able
to host the APMC in 2023 is obviously an extremely rare opportunity for Taiwan. As a result,
we chose the Taipei International Convention Center (TICC, adjacent to the World TradeCenter) on Xinyi Road. It not only has convenient transportation, but also has a comfortableaccommodation environment around it. It is an ideal international conference center,
providing quite ample space for academic seminars and industrial and commercial exhibitions,which will surely attract more international experts, scholars and relevant industry operators
to participate enthusiastically.
The themes of the papers planned and published in this international conference are
multi-faceted, covering academic seminars such as microwave active and passive circuits,
radio frequency ICs, antennas and propagation, electromagnetic theory and electromagnetic
compatibility, as well as other related application topics such as wireless communicationindustry, low-orbit satellite development, radio frequency IC and antenna measurement
forum. At the same time, relevant industry operators are invited to conduct on-site
exhibitions to promote industry-university exchanges and interactions, so that experts andscholars from various countries can further promote international exchange and connection
with industry operators in the wireless communication, consumer electronics, and2 |measurement technology industries.
The preparatory team for the APMC 2023 conference, with the support of Taiwan
Microwave Association, consists of Professor Jen-Tsai Kuo (IEEE Fellow) from the Departmentof Electronic Engineering, Chang Gung University as the General Chair, while Professor HsiTseng Chou, Director of Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering, National Taiwan
University (2021 NSTC Outstanding Research Award, IEEE Fellow) and Professor Sheng-Fuh
Chang of Department of Electrical Engineering, National Chung Cheng University (2021~2023,NSTC communications engineering convener, IEEE Trans. MTT Assoc. Editor) served as theGeneral Co-Chairs. Professors from universities across the country and industry operators ofmicrowave and antennas (see CFP) are invited to work together for the conferenceorganization.
According to the records (the report of oversea participation in international conferencesby NSTC), before the spread of COVID-19, 585 papers were published in APMC 2018 in Kyoto,
Japan (the paper acceptance rate was 67.8%), and it is thus estimated that the number ofparticipants reached 800. In APMC 2019 in Singapore, 720 papers were published (67.67%
paper acceptance rate), and it is estimated to have 1000 participants. Although the pandemic
has been ongoing as of August 2022. Europe, the United States, South Korea and Japan haveall opened their borders. This is indeed the development trend that the pandemic has
become less severe. Therefore, experts, scholars and students of microwave and wirelesstechnology from various countries are quite likely to participate in APMC 2023, which may
result in a peak number of participants in APMC. Furthermore, it is estimated that 100 to 150of the most outstanding microwave and radio technology master and doctoral students in
Taiwan (with a favorable registration fee) will participate in the event. This is not only an
opportunity for them to learn professional academics and technologies, but also an excellent
opportunity to understand industry trends and distribution, which is also one of theimportant goals that this conference strives to achieve.

APMC 2023 will be held from December 5 to December 8.
The main activities include short courses by internationallyrenowned scholars, workshops, invited talks, special sessions,academic papers oral sessions, poster sessions, and industry
booths, where software and hardware development tools,
measuring instruments, and product presentations related toantenna and radio wave applications will be held. The mostrepresentative ones are two plenary talks, which will be deliveredby representatives of TSMC and MediaTek. The themes are both
related to top wireless communication technologies, which will
start right after the opening of the conference, which is bound to
attract domestic and foreign audiences from the industry,
government and academia. In addition to academic exchanges
and industry product demonstrations, the organizers will also
arrange welcome reception, awards banquets, visits to scienceand technology parks or leading companies, and travel itineraries
to famous local attractions.

The APMC 2023 preparatory team will arrange industry sessions/industry speakers in
the conference, and invite industry representatives to contribute to representations with oralsessions, poster sessions, workshops, etc. Not only will the speakers benefit, but thecorporate brand will also benefit greatly, greatly improving reputation, which will also be ofgreat help to recruitment. Speeches and papers delivered by industry representatives caneven echo with physical exhibition booths, doubling the effect.

Conference Venue
APMC 2023 will rent TICC as the conference venue. It is adjacent to the Taipei City Hall andthe landmark building of Taipei 101. It is located near the entrance of a MRT station with very
convenienttransportation.
Foreignparticipants can also easily arrive at the venue
by transferring from Taoyuan Airport MRT toTaipei MRT. Nearby five-star hotels such as
Grand Hyatt, Humble House Taipei, The
Howard Plaza Hotel Taipei, etc., can provide
comfortable accommodation and rest duringhttps://ticc.business.site/4 |busy conferences and exhibitions.
It is planned the first and second floors of the entire TICC will be rented. The first floor is used
for exhibitions for industry operators, and the second floor is used for dissertation seminars
and speech exchanges. The space is quite spacious, especially the first floor has three
entrances and exits, which is quite suitable for academic activities and commercial exhibitions
at the same time.

TICC is the first choice for holding international academic seminars, and the rent is ofcourse expensive. It is the mission of the preparatory team to hold high-quality internationalseminars to demonstrate abundant industry-university research energy and good heritage inmicrowave and antenna technology of Taiwan. We sincerely invite business owners andindustry operators related to wireless communications, microwave (systems, keycomponents), and antennas to participate in this grand event, work together to support
important international conferences representing the national strength of Taiwan, andpromote them to the best layout.
