ISRSSP - the International Symposium on Radio Systems and Space Plasma, is organized under the auspices of URSI and is a leading international discussion and knowledge dissemination forum that brings together Researchers and Practitioners interested in Radio Systems and Space Plasma. In 30-31 October 2014, ISRSSP will be held in Rouse, Bulgaria, following previous events in Bulgaria, in 2007, 2010, and 2013 in Sofia.This pretty town is known for its 19th- and 20th-century Neo-Baroque and Neo-Rococo architecture. The total distance from Bucharest international airport is 65 km..

You are invited and encouraged to make a presentation and to provide a paper on the following areas and topics:

Goals and Topics

Providing a specialized forum to researchers and practitioners interested in radio systems and space plasma, ISRSSP'14 welcomes not only foundational contributions but also more application-oriented ones. Hence, the symposium areas are organized in two tracks, namely Foundations Track and Applications Track. Particular areas of interest within each of the mentioned tracks, are: FOUNDATIONS TRACK: (i) Radio Communication Systems and Signal Processing; (ii) Satellite Space Observations; (iii) Trans-Ionospheric Propagation; (iv) Space Plasma, Waves, and Particles; (v) Solar Power Satellite (SPS) Systems. APPLICATIONS TRACK: (vi) Radio Communication and Space Applications; (vii) SPS and Power Transmission. Hence, we welcome paper submissions from but not limited to the following areas and topics:


1. RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING
