International Symposium
Microwave and Optical Technology 2013 (ISMOT2013)
28th to 31st
October 2013, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
ISMOT 2013 was successfully organized at Sunway
Resort Hotel and Spa, Kuala Lumpur from October 28-31, 2013. The event attracted a total of 75
participants, namely researchers, academics and professionals from India,
Japan, Spain, Italy, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, UK and the US.
ISMOT 2013 was extra special as it marked the
27th year since its inception. It adhered to the fundamental objective of
providing an international forum for the exchange of new ideas, thoughts and
realizations on physics, technologies and applications of microwave,
optoelectronics and related fields. The highlights in the research advances of
microwave and optical technology covered interesting topics such as microwave
components and circuits, optical components, microwave and optical communication
systems, electromagnetic theory, microwave photonics and the topics concerning
the microwave and optical community.
A total of 38 symposium papers were presented
during the symposium. Selected papers of the biennial ISMOT will be published
in the Special Issue of the International Journal of Microwave and Optical Technology
(IJMOT).
