Abstract :
We extend to you a personal and warm welcome to the 2012 IEEE Radio and Wireless Week (RWW2012). The technical program that forms the core of the week has expanded significantly since the first Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS) in 1998. Over the years, this technical meeting has grown from a single conference, RWS, to a week-long event, RWW, encompassing five conferences: the IEEE RWS, the IEEE Topical Meeting on Silicon Monolithic Integrated Circuits in Radio Frequency Systems (SiRF), the IEEE Topical Conference on Biomedical Wireless Technologies, Networks and Sensing Systems (BioWireleSS), the IEEE Topical Conference on RF/Microwave Power Amplifiers (PAWR), and the IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks (WiSNet).
