The UK’s main antennas and propagation 2-day conference was another success with 150 delegates attending. The talks were divided into 2 antennas and 2 propagation sessions across the two days, looking at a variety of topics, including satellite communications and 5G.
The poster sessions were busy with delegates getting the opportunity to talk to the authors and find out about their research in more depth.
The IET's Antennas and Propagation TPN sponsors 3 prizes for the best student papers, which were awarded to the recipients at the close of the conference:
During the conference dinner on the first evening, the James R James Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to Pat Foster, who happens to be the first female recipient of the award.
We heard lots of interesting stories from Pat’s esteemed career, including all the antenna and propagation greats she rubbed shoulders with including Satyendra Bose (of Bose-Einstein statistics) and Prof R V Jones, the scientific advisor to Winston Churchill in WW2.
