The International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT) is an annual forum for the exchange of information on the research and development of innovative antenna technologies. iWAT2014 will be held at Sydney’s beautiful Darling Harbor and interesting social activities are also being planned.

iWAT 2014 accepts papers in two tracks, namely invited and contributory. The invited papers will be oral presentations delivered by prominent researchers in the field whereas the contributory papers will be presented in the interactive forums. There will be one best paper award and two best student paper awards.
