Conference:2013 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium Student Awards Support to be held in Austin, TX January 20-23 2013

2013年电气和电子工程师协会（IEEE）无线电和无线周（RWW）举办了五场专注于无线组件、电路和系统的会议。四家IEEE协会主办(1)第13届射频系统中的硅单片集成电路专题会议（SiRF）；(2)无线电和无线应用功率放大器（PAWR）会议；(3)无线传感器和传感器网络（WiSNet）会议；(4)生物医学无线技术、网络和传感系统（BioWireleSS）会议；(5)无线电和无线研讨会（RWS）。每次会议都在同一地点举行，并允许技术人员就最新进展进行交流。具体的主题领域在单独的会议中得到解决，但同一地点的场地允许跨多个领域的互动。五个会议中的每一个会议都从接受的学生作者提交的作品中选择决赛选手参加学生海报比赛。技术项目委员会从五个不同的方面对学生进行评判：纸张的新颖性、海报的质量、展示的信息数量、演讲者的准备程度以及对RWW社区的兴趣。这一提案是为了申请资金来支持个人学生比赛的奖品。多达25名决赛选手将在特别海报环节展示他们的作品。这项研究的智力价值包括将学术和工业专家聚集在一个亲密的场所，讨论无线技术的当前和未来趋势，以应用于国家和国际利益。这五场会议的重点是先进生物医学应用和传感器系统的电路和系统，特别强调功率放大器和硅技术。每年有400名来自学术界和工业界的与会者参加这些会议。在为期四天的会议中，将进行同行评审的口头报告和海报报告，以及IEEE杰出讲师的演讲。会议将讨论从射频到太赫兹频率的最新结果，并在会议开始时举办四个高影响力的讲习班。更广泛的影响该提案的更广泛的影响包括有机会突出美国和国际大学所追求的高质量学生研究。学生通过在友好的海报竞赛环境中展示他们的研究成果，获得技术经验。这个机会通过确定年轻的工程师和科学家并鼓励他们继续在这个高技术领域工作来支持STEM管道。学生入围者和获奖者将在年度颁奖宴会上得到表彰。

2013 IEEE Radio and Wireless SymposiumStudent Awards Support AbstractThe 2013 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Radio and Wireless Week (RWW), hosts five conferences that focus on wireless components, circuits and systems. Four IEEE societies sponsor (1) The 13th Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in RF Systems (SiRF); (2) The Power Amplifiers for Radio and Wireless Applications (PAWR) Conference; (3) The Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks (WiSNet) Conference; (4) The Biomedical Wireless Technologies, Networks, and Sensing Systems (BioWireleSS) Conference; and (5) The Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS). Each meeting is co-located at the same venue and allows technologists to network on recent advancements. Specific topical areas are addressed in the individual meetings but the co-located venue allows for interaction across multiple areas. Each of the five conferences selects finalists from the accepted student author submissions to compete in student poster competitions. The students are judged by their technical program committee in five different categories: novelty of paper, quality of poster, quantity of information presented, preparedness of the presenter, and interest to the RWW community. This proposal is written to request funds to support prizes for the individual student competitions. Up to 25 finalists will present their work in a special poster session.Intellectual MeritThe intellectual merit of this research involves the gathering of academic and industrial specialists within an intimate venue to discuss the current and future trends of wireless technology for applications of national and international interest. The five conferences focus on circuits and systems for advanced biomedical applications and sensor systems with special emphasis on power amplifiers and silicon technologies. Each year 400 attendees from academia and industry participate in these meetings. Peer-reviewed oral and poster presentations will be made along with IEEE Distinguished Lecturer talks given within the four-day meeting. The most recent results from RF to terahertz frequencies will be discussed and four high-impact workshops will be given at the start of the meeting.Broader ImpactsThe broader impacts of this proposal include the opportunity to highlight quality student research being pursued at US and International Universities. Students gain technical experience by presenting their research in a friendly poster competition environment. This opportunity supports the STEM pipeline by identifying young engineers and scientists and encouraging them to continue working in this highly technical field. The student finalists and winners will be recognized at the annual awards banquet.
