Tremendous strides have been made in the field of microwave engineering. The advent of MICs, MMICs, RF MEMS, Smart Antennas and high speed mixed signal components, led to advanced applications of Digital circuits at GHz speed, Wi Max, UWB, RFID etc. The advances in computational techniques, Instrumentation and Measurement techniques and CAD have added newer dimensions in design, evaluation and fault diagnosis.

The main objective of this Symposium, the third in the series, is to bring together experts from world renowned academic institutions, R&D organizations and industries in the field of microwave engineering, to share their valuable expertise of the past by presenting their pioneer contributions and discussing the future trends. The symposium also aims to create awareness among the youth on the current challenges in Microwaves to attract young talent to pursue research in the spectacular field of Microwaves.

An Indoor Exhibition is also being organized to provide an opportunity to manufacturers/ vendors/ R&D Organizations to show case core competency. The symposium and exhibition are planned and being organized in the same lines of the highly successful IRSI- series and is also biennial (even years). A Souvenir is also being brought out on the Inaugural Day. The organizers are committed to arrange fruitful interactions with the spectrum of participants. We proudly recall that ISM –06 was a grand success in terms of Technical content / Participation and Exhibits.

THE VENUE OF ISM-08
The NIMHANS Convention Centre, Bangalore is a newly built, centrally air- conditioned seminar complex with three auditoriums and lobbies with ultra modern audio- visual and seating facilities. Spacious Dining Halls, Parking Area and Kitchen are added attractions.
