Preparing Your Paper

Please use the following templates provided by IEEE when preparing your paper. Note that the final paper must be in Portable Document Format (PDF). The paper should have at least 2 pages and must not exceed 4 pages.

Please note that every registered Speaker can present a maximum of two papers.

Word Template

LaTeX Template

For converting your source files (Word, LaTeX, etc.) to PDF, we strongly recommend you use IEEE PDF eXpress™, a free service for submissions. IEEE PDF eXpress™ will accept your source files and create a pdf file in accordance with the IEEE guidelines (Conversion function) or, it will check your own PDF for IEEE Xplore compatibility (PDF Check function).

Note that IEEE PDF eXpress™ converts or checks the file, but you still must submit the final (converted) pdf file to the MWP2023 submission site. To convert your document to PDF or to check your PDF file now, please click here.

• The 2-4 page paper should be typed single space with one-inch margins on all four sides. Charts, illustrations, and figures must fit within the 2-4 page paper specification.
• The 150-word Abstract will be used for publication in the program. Over length abstracts will not be accepted and will affect your ability to successfully submit your work.
• The 2-4 page summary will be published in the Conference Proceedings if accepted. It must be submitted as a PDF file and an IEEE Copyright Form must be completed.

Author Notification/Copyright Agreement

Notifications are sent to the corresponding authors only.

If your paper is accepted, you will be prompted to log in to the submission site to complete the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) at a later date. Failure to complete the copyright form will result in your paper being withheld from IEEE Xplore.

This form allows IEEE the right to use, distribute, publish, exhibit, digitize, broadcast, reproduce, and archive, in any format or medium, whether now known or hereafter developed any materials, including written, audio and visual works.

Technical papers received outside the electronic submission site will not be accepted. Revisions will only be accepted up until the paper submission deadline.

Electronic Submission

Authors are asked to provide vital pieces of information, including, but not limited to the paper title, presentation type, and a 150-word abstract, as well as all authors’ contact information. This information must be completed in its entirety; failure to do so may inhibit your ability to successfully complete your submission.

Paper Rejections

Adherence to the instructions for preparation of the abstract and summary is imperative. Any of the following conditions may result in rejection of the paper:

1.Failure to submit the paper electronically by the submission deadline.

2.Failure to submit the 150-word abstract.

3.Failure to complete a copyright agreement.

4.Paper summary exceeds the 2-4 page limit.

Announcement of an IEEE/Optica Publishing Group Journal of Lightwave Technology Special Issue on: Microwave Photonics

This special issue for the International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics 2023 (MWP 2023) will cover all topics in the field of  microwave photonics. Microwave photonics is concerned with the use of photonic devices, systems, and techniques for applications in microwave, millimeter wave, and THz wave engineering. It also encompasses the development of high-speed photonic components for microwave system applications. The field is continuing to experience significant growth, fueled by recent interest and development in integrated microwave photonics and microwave/millimeter-wave photonics for 5G applications and beyond. Topics include (but are not limited to):

• RoF for B5G/6G mobile data and terrestrial communication systems
• Integrated microwave photonics
• Advanced signal processing techniques
• Applications of MWP in aerospace and space systems
• Photonic microwave processing, sensing, and measurements
• THz device technology and system applications
• Optical wireless transmission systems and applications
• High-speed photomixers and optoelectronic converters
• Novel device technologies for emerging systems
• High-speed MWP signal sources

A portion of this issue will feature expanded versions of accepted papers presented at the International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics 2023.

On behalf of the Guest Editors and the Editor-in-Chief, we encourage you to submit your work for inclusion on this Special Issue. Accepted papers will appear in the Sep/Oct 2024 hardcopy issue with accepted papers posted online within one week of the authors’ final file upload. Mandatory page charges of $260.00 per page are enforced for Original Contributions in excess of 7 pages and in excess of 10 pages for Invited Papers. Tutorial presenters will be invited to write articles that are up to 16 pages in length. The same mandatory fees apply to each Tutorial paper in excess of 16 pages.
