Asia-Pacific Microwave Photonics Conference (AP-MWP) 2006
Microwave photonics (MWP) technology is an expanding technological field which merges two major communications technologies— wireless and optical communications—and has been creating novel technological opportunities. Asia-Pacific Microwave Photonics Conference (AP-MWP) is to periodically provide an international forum in the Asia-Pacific region for worldwide technical exchanges regarding new advances and deployments of MWP technology. It will be held in Kobe, Japan, April 24-26, 2006.
