Misuse of Return Loss

May 19, 2009. Perhaps over 30% of all antenna papers submitted to the Transactions in the past twelve months have used return loss incorrectly. This misuse of the term is occurring in other allied disciplines as well. For passive structures, return loss is a positive quantity and has the opposite sign of reflection coefficient expressed in dB. Read the full story.

Submission of Final Manuscripts Via ScholarOne

May 6, 2009. The final submission of accepted manuscripts is now via ScholarOne Manuscript (previously called Manuscript Central). From now on authors should submit their final material via ScholarOne Manuscript. The process is described in the decision email when a paper is accepted.

Migration to TAP Manuscript Central v4 – Monday September 29, 2008

September 11, 2008. As foreshadowed at the reviewers meeting in San Diego held in July 2008, the IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation manuscript management system, Manuscript Central (MC), is to be upgraded from v1.8 to v4.1. The migration date will occur late in September. Read the full story.
