The 20th International ITG Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA 2016) provides a forum for presentation of the most recent research on smart antennas. The event will commence on March 9 – 11, 2016 in Garching, Germany and is organised by the TUM Institute for Advanced Study (TUM-IAS). The objective is to continue, accelerate, and broaden the momentum already gained through a series of ITG workshops since 1996.
It is our great privilege to organize WSA’s 20th anniversary at the TUM Institute for Advanced Study. The TUM-IAS on the Garching Campus is unique in Germany. Currently, a total of 55 Fellows from 16 different countries work at the IAS. The institute was founded in 2005 and has been funded by the Excellence Initiative of the federal and state governments since 2006.
