The 34th European Microwave Conference (EuMC) will be held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 12 to 14 October as part of European Microwave Week 2004, which is the largest event in Europe dedicated to a broad range of high-frequency related topics, ranging from semiconductor materials, MMICs and microwave circuit design to radar, high-speed and mobile system applications. The European Microwave Conference is the largest conference of its kind in Europe and therefore it is a perfect opportunity to keep up-to-date with recent achievements in the microwave and RF domain.

The EuMC brings together international experts in a wide variety of fields with academic and industrial backgrounds. It serves as a forum for the presentation and discussion of the most recent advances in circuit oriented device modelling and design, modelling and design of high frequency and high data rate photonics, design of subsystems and systems on a chip. The scope includes passive and active components, electromagnetic field theory and theoretical and experimental developments on wave propagation, antennas and antenna systems. Special emphasis will be placed on new designs and design methods and emerging technologies like MEMS. In addition to scientific papers, contributions are requested on systems and applications, covering the fields of telecommunications, radar, space, automotive, sensors and defense systems.

Authors of accepted papers for EuMC2004 are encouraged to submit an expanded version of their EuMC2004 conference papers to a Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, to be published in July 2005. Note that this expanded version should be distinct from the EuMC conference paper with at least a 60% expansion and a minimum of repeated material. Reference should be made to the EuMC paper. Submissions should be sent to TMTTeditor@ieee.org.

Include as attachments to your submission for the Special Issue:

1. The manuscript being submitted to the Special Issue as a PDF file with the file name paper.pdf and
2. The final version of the EuMC paper as a PDF file with the name EuMC_paper_####.pdf. The number (####) in this name should be the same as the reference number of the conference paper in the manuscript.

You must reference your EuMC submission in your expanded manuscript. The body of the submission to the Special Issue must have the title of the paper and the names of all authors. Submissions must be received by Friday, October 1, 2004, and cannot be updated.
