On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to invite you to the historic Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia for the 40th Annual AMTA Symposium. We are excited about the high quality of technical papers, the invited speakers on the technical program, and the unique social events that are planned. Williamsburg was the thriving British colonial capital of Virginia from 1699 to 1780. Today, visitors can relive 17th century colonial life in the Historic Area which stretches over 301 acres, and includes 88 original 18th-century structures. Hundreds of houses, shops and public outbuildings are reconstructed on their original foundations populated by re-enactors in period costumes.

By popular demand, we are again offering the AMTA Boot Camp on antenna measurements. The technical program kicks off on Sunday, November 4th, with the Short Course, “New Trends in Automotive Radar & Antenna Testing and Simulation” presented by Dr. Chi-Chih Chen, Lars Foged and Dr. Aseim Elfrgani. With advent of Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving, millimeter wave radars are becoming very popular. Presented by experts in the area of automotive radar measurements and automotive antennas, the course will cover wide range of emerging topics. The technical program and exhibition start on Monday and will run throughout the week. We will end our time together with the Friday Technical Tour of NASA Langley Research Center in nearby Hampton, Virginia.

Early November is a wonderful time to visit Colonial Williamsburg with its moderate temperatures, abundant sunshine, and minimal rainfall. The Williamsburg Lodge is located in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg with access to many restaurants, shopping and historic attractions.

Participate in 40th Anniversary of AMTA in a historic venue. Be part of the history! Registration for AMTA 2018 is now open. Early registration ends on September 30. Please complete the form in this booklet or visit www.amta2018.org to register and for more information. On behalf of Host Altair and Co-hosts NASA Langley Research Center, Virginia Tech, and the Old Dominion University, we look forward to seeing you in Williamsburg!

AMTA Boot Camp

AMTA 2018 Host Committee

Announcing the 1-day AMTA Boot Camp course on antenna and related measurement fundamentals, Sunday, November 4. Topics will include an introduction to general RF measurements and overviews of antenna, RCS, EMC/EMI, and material measurements. Live hands-on demonstrations complement the material presented. Visit www.amta2018.org for the complete agenda and more information.

Williamsburg was the thriving capital of Virginia when the dream of American freedom and independence was taking shape and the colony was a rich and powerful land stretching west to the Mississippi River and north to the Great Lakes. For 81 formative years, from 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was the political, cultural, and educational center of what was then the largest, most populous, and most influential of the American colonies. It was here that the fundamental concepts — responsible leadership, a sense of public service, self-government, and individual liberty — were nurtured under the leadership of patriots such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, and Peyton Randolph. Learn more about Colonial Williamsburg at www.history.org

The venue of the conference, the Williamsburg Lodge, is located in the heart of Colonial Williamsburg. Enjoy a relaxing escape as this inviting lodge boasts a world-class restaurant and convenient access to spa and golf recreation amenities. Admission ticket discounts and special daily events are just the beginning of the exclusive benefits you’ll enjoy as the hotel guest.

Keynote SpeakerTuesday, November 6 1:30 - 2 p.m. Prof. John VolakisDean, College of Engineering and ComputingFlorida International University

Ultra-Wideband Arrays with Low Cost Beamforming Back-EndsFuture communication links will require higher data rates, multiple beams, and higher transmit/receive gains, in addition to smaller weight, cost, and power. With the growing interest for reduced size platforms and require-ment for ultra-wideband (UWB) performance to address multi-functionality, there is also a need for apertures with increased spectral efficiency, multi-functionality and security, spatial multiplexing, and concurrent beams at dif-ferent frequencies, up to millimeter bands. In this presentation, UWB arrays with low-power and low-cost beam forming hardware with the capability for simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) applications will be presented.

Thursday, November 8 8 - 8:30 a.m. John F. LockeTechnical Specialist - Antenna and RF Systems Ford Motor Company

Aerospace to Automotive: The Unique Challenges of Automotive Antenna Design and Test from the Perspective of a Former Aerospace EngineerIn the last few years, an additional type of automotive antenna has become more visible on the exterior of vehicles. This growth is across mm-wave radar arrays, GPS/Satellite Radio antennas, multiple Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and cellular MIMO antennas, low frequency antennas for keyless entry, passive entry, tire pressure monitoring, garage door openers, toll plaza antennas through recently added vehicle-to-vehicle communications antennas and upcoming 5G technology. In this talk, various challenges and solutions for automotive antenna design, installation and measurements will be present-ed and future challenges will be discussed.

Thursday, November 711:30 a.m. - 1:20 p.m.

Dr. Kubilay SertelAssociate Professor, The Ohio State University

Antennas enabling mmW/THz Sensors, Communications, Imaging and Metrology

High-speed, ubiquitous wireless networks are beginning to be deployed to form the backbone of next generation wireless connectivity. To realize the overarching goal of anytime-anywhere-anything-“anybaud” connectivity, the 5th generation (5G) networks must be able to sustain much higher bandwidths, leading to the immediate utility of the millimeter-wave (mmW: 60-300 GHz) bands. To effectively address this need, agile antennas and beam-forming arrays, as well as wideband transceivers and digital/analog converters have been a focus of concerted

research in the past decade. This talk will summarize the research activity at The Ohio State University HELIOS Laboratory spanning the mmW and THz band applications.

Dr. Kubilay Sertel received his PhD in 2003 from the Electrical Engineer-ing and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. He is an Associate Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engi-neering Department at The Ohio State University. Earlier, he was a Re-search Scientist at the ElectroScience Laboratory and an Adjunct Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at The Ohio State University. His current research focuses on the analysis and design of THz and mmW sensors and radars, on-wafer non-contact metrology systems for device and IC testing, biomedical applications of THz imaging, as well as spectroscopy techniques for non-destructive evaluation.

He co-authored two books: Integral Equation Methods for Electromagnet-ics (SciTech Publishing, 2012) and Frequency Domain Hybrid Finite Element Methods in Electromagnetics (Morgan & Claypool, 2006), 6 book chapters, 3 patents, and published over 80 journal papers and more than 300 confer-ence articles.

Dr. Uwe SchrammChief Technical Officer, Altair

Simulation Driven Innovation – Changing the Role of Simulation in the age of Internet of Things and Autonomous Driving

In the age of Internet of Things (IoT) and autonomous driving with antennas and sensors embedded in every product, multi-physics simulations and optimization that include antenna and sensors is increasingly becoming a necessity. Computational electromagnetics have matured over the past three decades to become industry standard and hence reducing extensive testing and lowering the cost. Simulations are also playing significant role in design of test facilities and verification of measurement errors via virtual testing in general, and virtual test drives for automotive industry in particular. In this talk, Dr. Schramm will provide current state -of-the-art multi-physics simulations that span over a wide range of products. He will also address simulation technologies that are helping improve the measurement process in multiple disciplines.
