The International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT2008) is an annual IEEE forum for the exchange of information on the progress of research and development in innovative antenna technology, and will especially focus on the small antennas, and applications of advanced and artificial materials to antenna design. The workshop is sponsored and organized by the IEEE AP–S Japan Chapter, Chiba Univerisity and Chiba Convention Bureau and International Center and is held in cooperation with IEEE AP–S, IEEE AP–S Nagoya Chapter, IEEE AP–S Kansai Chapter, IEEE AP–S Fukuoka Chapter, Communications Society of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), IEICE Technical Committee on Antennas and Propagation, and the Antennas and Propagation Professional Network of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET).<BR><B>Keywords:</B> Small Antennas<BR>•Adaptive (smart) arrays for mobile terminals<BR>•Antennas on/in IC packages<BR>•Co–design of antennas with RF front–end<BR>•Miniaturization of antennas<BR>•Embedded antennas<BR>•Conformal antennas and arrays<BR>•Compact arrays<BR>•Broadband antennas and arrays<BR>•Measurement for antennas with small system ground planes<BR>•Measurement for ultra–wideband (UWB) antennas<BR>•Measurement for SAR of handheld devices<BR>•Fast time–domain computation for UWB antenna systems<BR>•Reconfigurable antennas<BR>•Printed antennas<BR>•MEMS/Nano technology for antennasInnovative Periodic Structures and Materials<BR>•Electromagnetic bandgap (EBG)<BR>•Photonic bandgap (PBG)<BR>•Left–handed materials (LHM)<BR>•Electromagnetic anisotropy<BR>•Frequency selective surfaces (FSS)<BR>•Artificial magnetic conductors (AMC)<BR>•Fractal structures<BR>•Bi–anisotropic materials<BR>•Novel features of EM materials<BR>•Smart materials<BR>•Analysis and design of EM materialsApplications<BR>•Medical applications<BR>•UWB communications<BR>•UWB radar systems<BR>•MIMO transmission systems<BR>•3G and beyond mobile wireless systems<BR>•Wireless communication systems (handheld devices, base stations)<BR>•Bluetooth/W–LAN (PDAs, laptops)<BR>•RFID/Sensors<BR>•Body–centric wireless communications<BR>•Radar systems/Automotives<BR>•GPS systems<BR>•Millimeter systems
