Special Section on 2006 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation

The International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP) in its series has become one of the most important events in the areas of antennas, wave propagation, and electromagnetic theory, being widely considered as the representative conference in Asia Pacific region in parallel with the IEEE APS International Symposium in USA and also the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) in Europe. In 2006, the ISAP was successfully held in Singapore on Nov. 1–4, 2006. Over 220 people attended the conference and it attracted strong participation (over 60%) from Japan. As a continuous support from the IEICE, IEICE Communications Society decided to allocate this special section for the publication of selected papers from this conference in order to share more results and new findings presented at this conference with the larger wireless communications and elecromagnetics communities. We are grateful to IEICE Communications Society for its vision and commitment to this technology.
