The 19th ASA (ASA 2026) will be held from the 11th to the 13th of February 2026, Adelaide (venue: Flinders University City Campus). The aim of the ASA is to inform engineers, scientists, and industry representatives working on antennas, electromagnetics, and related areas of current and projected developments. The Symposium also provides a valuable opportunity for students to take part in a professional meeting. Submissions are invited from anyone in the Australasian region. A prize will be awarded for the best student presentation. The symposium will be held in conjunction with a workshop on Antennas for Earth and Space observation in Australasia on the 11th February, and will include a two-day technical program on the 12-13 February.
ASA invites prospective authors to submit original papers in the form of either a 1-page abstract or a 3-pages full paper on all areas of Antenna, Microwave and RF technology. Accepted full papers will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore (IEEE Xplore inclusion, subject to meeting IEEE Xplore’s scope and quality requirements). Papers submitted will be peer-reviewed and evaluated based on novelty, significance of the work, and technical content.
