Abstract:

This is the third issue of the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Advanced Radio Technologies (ISART), and the value of these proceedings is starting to become evident.

The purpose of ISART is to explore the future use of existing and emerging radio technologies. To this end, the conference brings together a diverse collection of people from academia, business, and government to discuss not only the technical aspects of the technology, but also economic pressures and regulatory realities.

This year's agenda is no exception. There are presentations on radio spectrum usage, ideas for efficient spectrum sharing, the use of radio for public safety applications, voice over IP (VoIP), wireless networking, location tracking, ultrawideband, RFID, and the generation and use of terahertz signals.

The ultimate goal for ISART is that it become a kind of technological "crystal ball," giving attendees a glimpse in the use of radio and related electromagnetic technologies in the years to come.
