On the morning of October 9, 2024, at Pullman Resort Beach Hotel, Da Nang city, the International Conference on Antenna Measurement and Applications 2024 (IEEE CAMA-2024) took place. This is an academic event organized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the University of Côte d'Azur (France), the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), The University of Danang – Danang International Institute of Technology (UD-DNIIT), and the International University - Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City. The conference received technical and financial sponsorship from the IEEE Antenna and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S), and technical co-sponsorship from the Antenna Measurement Engineering Association (AMTA).

Panorama of IEEE CAMA-2024 Conference

Attending the opening session of the Conference were Prof. Christian Pichot - representative of IEEE CAMA, University of Côte d'Azur (France); Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Quang Son - Vice President of The University of Danang (UD); Prof. Dr. Le Thanh Nhan - Dean of UD-DNIIT; Prof. Fabien Ferrero - Director of Research, University of Côte d'Azur; Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Binh Duong - International University, Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City; Mr. Le Son Phong - Deputy Director of the Department of Information and Communications of Danang City.

Also attending were representatives of the leaders of UD’s member universities: University of Science and Technology (UD-DUT), University of Technology and Education (UD-UTE), Vietnam-Korea University of Information and Communication Technology (UD-VKU), and UD-Department of Science and International Cooperation, along with nearly 150 delegates who are experts, scientists, lecturers and students from 20 countries and territories around the world.

UD-DNIIT hosts prestigious international academic event

According to Prof.Dr. Le Thanh Nhan - Director, UD-DNIIT, representative of the Organizing Committee, the Conference is an interdisciplinary forum for academic exchange, publication of new research results, sharing of experiences and discussion of trends and advances in fields related to the central theme of the Conference.

Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Quang Son, Vice President of UD, spoke

IEEE CAMA-2024 received the attention and support of organizations, agencies, universities, research institutes, scientists and experts at home and abroad, which is an affirmation of the value and significance of the Conference when connecting knowledge and international cooperation is an important foundation to promote common development, shared the Director of UD-DNIIT.

Prof. Christian Pichot, representative of IEEE CAMA, University of Côte d'Azur, spoke

Speaking at the Conference, Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Quang Son - Vice President of UD highly appreciated and sincerely thanked the Organizing Committee, IEEE and agencies, organizations and associations for creating the opportunity to organize an academic event of scientific and practical significance on the occasion of the 30^th anniversary of UD (1994 - 2024); welcoming "Vietnam's Digital Transformation Day" (October 10).

Prof. Yahya Rahmat-Samii, University of California, made a scientific report (online)

This is also an outstanding contribution of the scientific community in the field of measurement, antennas and communication systems to the practice of digital transformation, contributing to socio-economic development; at the same time, affirming the commitment of UD, including UD-DNIIT, to continuously carry out the mission of training high-quality human resources, bringing Danang in particular and Vietnam in general towards the center of semiconductor technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and embedded control...

Prof. Karu Esselle, University of Technology Sydney, made a scientific report

Representatives of UD hope that through the Conference, it will not only be an opportunity to promote connections and share scientific knowledge but also to establish and expand cooperation opportunities between universities and research institutes with international organizations and the business community, developing innovative solutions for applications in various fields, meeting needs and trends.

The conference gathered nearly 150 scientists

and experts from 20 countries and territories

At the Plenary Session, the Conference heard two keynote speakers presenting scientific reports, Prof. Yahya Rahmat-Samii, University of California (UCLA), USA, with the topic "Innovative Antenna Design for Next Generation CubeSats: From Concept to Mission Realization", focusing on innovative antenna design ideas such as symmetrical and asymmetrical deployable reflector antennas, 3D printed lens antennas and deployable reflector antenna systems for remote monitoring, deep space exploration and global space connectivity.

The conference was a forum for sharing new knowledge, publishing research results

and applications in the field of measurement and antennas

Prof. Karu Esselle, University of Technology Sydney (Australia) (a leading expert in antenna engineering and electromagnetism, winner of the prestigious Eureka Prize of Australia with many awards and prestigious research projects) reported on the topic: "Near-Field MetaSteering - A completely new beam steering method for fixed antennas" introducing a new method using 02 metasurfaces placed close together to control the beam direction of any fixed antenna without changing the antenna structure.

This method has been successfully applied by academic and industrial organizations with its advantages such as wide bandwidth operation and high capacity.

Delegates exchanged and discussed

IEEE CAMA-2024 took place from October 9-11, 2024 in the beautiful coastal city of Da Nang with thematic sessions and other exchange and interaction activities, focusing on many specialized, interdisciplinary, topical and academic contents such as: Measurement techniques in controlled and uncontrolled environments (in-situ); electromagnetic measurement methods, scattering and diffraction measurements, near-field and far-field measurements; new antenna test platforms, radar and RCS measurements, simulation and prediction of measurements in real configurations.

Connecting with a network of experts, contributing intelligence

for sustainable development

According to scientists, advanced technology applications from electromagnetic measurement, terrestrial to space communications, microwave, millimeter and submillimeter systems, backscattering methods and imaging techniques, calculations for antenna design cover a wide range of fields such as industry, medicine and health sciences, environment.
