The conference technically focuses on microwave and antenna subsystems designed for radar, telecommunications, and biomedical applications and is sponsored by the IEEE Philadelphia joint chapter of MTT and AP societies. In addition to an invited plenary session, the BenMAS 2015 will also include three oral sessions and an interactive posters session, and showcase industrial exhibitions. Original technical contributions relating to sub-systems operating from RF to optical frequencies are sought in the following areas: 1. Radar systems for aerospace, vehicular, and imaging applications 2. Wireless and wired telecommunication systems in support of ubiquitous and personal communications 3. Biomedical systems applied to biological sensing, imaging, and therapy The accepted papers are to be available from IEEE Xplore. However, a special issue of Journal of the Franklin Institute (JFI) in March 2016 is to be dedicated to a longer version (6 pages) of the accepted symposium papers.
