EuCAP 2018 Best Paper Awards and ESoA-EuCAP Best Student Paper Awards

The EuCAP 2018 Best Paper Awards have been created to contribute to the recognition of scientific quality of research and engineering in four thematic domains:

Electromagnetics and Antenna Theory
Antenna Design and Applications
Propagation
Measurement

The Best Student Paper Awards are not related to a specific thematic domain.
