Final Manuscript Preparation Instructions

Welcome to the IEEE 2007 Radio and Wireless Symposium (RWS 2007) and thank you for choosing this venue to publish your work.

Each paper in the Proceedings of RWS 2007 will be published from a file uploaded by the author using the link to the RWS submission site. Starting 15 September 2006, all Final Manuscripts can be received, electronically and in .pdf format only, and must be compatible with IEEE Xplore, as certified by IEEE PDFeXpress (for detailed instructions see: PDF Instructions).

The hard deadline for Final Manuscript submission is: 24 October 2006.

The total length of your final manuscript must not exceed four pages; longer papers will be truncated or excluded from the Proceedings. The maximum final .pdf file size is 1.0 Mb; larger files will be arbitrarily reduced.
Please note that IEEE certification of Xplore compatibility by PDFeXpress is required: to either convert your existing file to .pdf format or check your existing .pdf file, log on with Conference ID: “rws07” and incorporate all requested corrections before uploading your .pdf file to the RWS manuscript submission site. Please begin a "Begin a new Final Manuscript Submission"; using the original registration key issued during your original summary submission. In addition, your Symposium Registration (“Badge”) number will be required and a separate IEEE Copyright Form has to be submitted electronically for each final manuscript.
