It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, on June 6, 2014. Professor Perruisseau-Carrier was a respected researcher of antenna designs and interdisciplinary researches related to electromagnetic waves from microwave to terahertz. He was a responsible Associate Editor of the Transactions. His untimely death is a great loss to the electromagnetics society and the Transactions. Professor Perruisseau-Carrier will be dearly missed as a notable scholar and an amiable friend. We are greatly saddened by the news, and our hearts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

Due to a large number of requests, the submission deadline for Special Issue Paper on Antennas for Satellite Communications has been extended to June 18, 2014. This will be the FINAL deadline extension.
Paper Submission Deadline: June 18, 2014

The Editor-in-Chief shares a summary of the development and statistics of the Transactions in the year of 2013 in the latest Editorial Message, published in the January 2014 issue.

To read the message

The Transactions extends a warm welcome to Professor Kwok W. (Ben) Leung as he assumes the responsibilities as Editor-in-Chief for the coming 3 years. We'd like to thank former Editor-in-Chief Professor Michael Jensen for his effort and contribution to the Transaction in the past years.

More about the new EiC

Perhaps over 30% of all antenna papers submitted to the Transactions in the past twelve months have used return loss incorrectly. This misuse of the term is occurring in other allied disciplines as well. For passive structures, return loss is a positive quantity and has the opposite sign of reflection coefficient expressed in dB.

The final submission of accepted manuscripts is now via ScholarOne Manuscript (previously called Manuscript Central). From now on authors should submit their final material via ScholarOne Manuscript. The process is described in the decision email when a paper is accepted.

As foreshadowed at the reviewers meeting in San Diego held in July 2008, the IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation manuscript management system, Manuscript Central (MC), is to be upgraded from v1.8 to v4.1. The migration date will occur late in September.

The planned migration of TAP Manuscript Central from v1.8 to v4.1 should commence in the last quarter of 2008. The front page of the new version of Manuscript Central is shown in this PDF (400 Kb). Further details will be forthcoming shortly.
