The USS Midway is one of America’s longest serving aircraft car-riers. Today, she sits as a majestic and historic reminder of one of the most challenging periods in United States history.
Commissioned a week after the end of World War II, Midway was the largest ship in the world until 1955, as well as the first U.S. aircraft carrier too big to transit the Panama Canal. She operated for 47 years, during which time she saw action in the Vietnam War and served as the Persian Gulf flagship in 1991’s Operation Desert Storm. Decommissioned in 1992, she is now a museum ship docked permanently in San Diego, California.
With more than 30 restored aircraft, and nearly 10 acres of exhibits and displays, the Midway brings you the most complete cross-section of carrier aviation in the world. From high up on the bridge down to the main engine room, let us take you on a unique warship journey that engages the sights, sounds, and aromas of this symbol of American freedom.
A volunteer Docent will guide our group through selected areas of the ship, afterwards which you are invited to explore the ex-hibits and activities at your leisure. Don’t miss the “Voices of Midway” film detailing the events of the Battle of Midway!

• Professor Philippe Garreau CEO, Microwave Vision Group
The Challenges of Using Electronically Scanned Probe Arrays in Aerospace and Defense Antenna Measurement Applications
Over the past 20 years, electronically scanned probe arrays have clearly demonstrated their capability to drastically shorten the measurement time for testing antennas. This antenna mea-
surement technique has been well accepted primarily in the civil telecommunication market. However, the advantages of using electronically scanned probe arrays has not only been a question of speeding up the measurement time. Hence, instead of using these measurement tools for one-shot measurements at the end of any new development, they have been increasingly used from the beginning to the end of development, therefore participating in optimizing all radiated parameters of the system. In the last few years, we have ob-served a strong interest in using probe arrays for Aerospace and Defense applications. This talk will introduce and discuss the challenges currently being faced regarding the use of probe arrays for testing Aerospace and Defense antennas.
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10 / 8 - 8:30 AM
• Professor Jean-Charles Bolomey Emeritus Professor, Paris-Saclay University (PSU), France
Overview of Microwave-Based Imaging Systems for Medical Applications
The possible use of microwaves for medical imaging diagnosis has been investigated since the early 80’s. And yet, almost forty years later, it still has not gained undisputable clinical
recognition. Inadvertently stemming from dosimetry and after early experiments on isolated organs, animals or phantoms, microwave imaging investigations moved, around the beginning of
the 90’s, to clinical applications, such as breast cancer screening and brain stroke diagnosis. Thanks to a continuous increase of research manpower efforts via multinational projects, and of the computing power, a few start-up companies developed prototypes usable for clinical trials. Today, clinical results are coming back enabling to assess their medical relevance and to serve as guidelines for system improvements, according to the general engineer-physician interaction process followed previously by all the imaging modalities already routinely used in the clinical practice (X-Rays, Ultrasounds, Magnetic Resonance, Nuclear Imaging, etc.). This overview aims to highlight antenna-related issues encountered in the medical imaging context, which may significantly differ from more usual communication, radar or other sensing scenarios, due to complex near-field patient-dependent interactions and severe constraints of clinical environments. Focused attention is given to different possible criteria to be specifically used, case-by-case, for optimizing antenna design and antenna array configuration.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9 / 11:30 AM - 1:20 PM
• Dan Sievenpiper
Professor, University of California San Diego
Patterned Metasurfaces for Manipulating Propagation, Scattering, and Interaction of Waves with Objects and Materials
Beginning with the background on metasurfaces and artificial impedance surfaces, this talk will introduce the history of holographic impedance pattern generation, methods for guiding
waves around objects (cloaking), and tunable surfaces for beam steering. Introducing anisotro-py leads to surface waveguides, and techniques for polarization-independent scattering control. However, creating arbitrary, inhomogeneous, anisotropic patterns requires the formulation of new mapping techniques, such as the point shifting method. This enables smooth transitions such as for graded surface wave lenses, and patterns for transition-free steering or shifting waves. This talk will describe techniques for producing complex impedance patterns for controlling surface waves in a variety of ways. We will also discuss a new one-dimensional interface state known as a “line wave” and the relationship between these waves and photonic topological insulators, as well as chiral surfaces, each of which can enable one-way propagation of waves with unique scattering properties. We will also discuss tunable, nonlinear, and modulated impedance surfaces which have new and interesting absorption properties, such as the ability to distinguish different waveforms or propagation directions, or to enable self-tuning absorbers.

Many different materials including com-posites are used in the field of millimetre wave antennas. Examples of dielectrics, frequency selective surfaces (FSS), sandwich structures, composite re-sins, ceramics and metal plates can be seen in applications ranging from low frequencies up to sub-mm waves. An accurate characterization of these ma-terials is of vital importance for future missions in the Telecom, Earth Observa-tions and Science domains.
