Important Update
Due to COVID-19, AMTA 2020 was delivered as a Virtual Symposium during November 2–5, 2020. The call for papers and abstract submission process supported this virtual format.
The Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) invited authors to submit abstracts for review and potential presentation at the 42nd Annual Meeting and Symposium. AMTA is a non-profit, international organization dedicated to the development and dissemination of theory, best practices, and applications of antenna, radar signature, and other electromagnetic measurement technologies.
Deadlines
The abstract submission deadline was June 1, 2020. Authors were required to submit a 250–350 word abstract for consideration. Accepted papers had the option to be submitted to IEEE Xplore.
For detailed submission instructions and access to the CATALYST system managed by Omnipress, visit the Abstract Submission page. For technical questions, authors could contact noreply@amta2020.org.

For general inquiries about the technical program, authors could reach the technical coordinator at technical-coordinator@amta2020.org. Additional information about the Antenna Measurement Techniques Association is available on the AMTA website.
Authors preparing submissions for the virtual symposium were encouraged to focus on the practical application of antenna measurement techniques, including radar cross-section analysis, radome design, and electromagnetic technologies. The abstract review process was designed to ensure that each accepted presentation contributed meaningful value to the technical program, whether delivered as a live session or an on-demand recording. Presenters were asked to prepare materials that translated well to an online audience, with clear visuals and concise narration. The virtual format also opened new opportunities for broader participation, allowing researchers and practitioners from around the world to share their work without the constraints of travel, while still benefiting from the rigorous peer review and professional standards that AMTA has maintained throughout its history.
