We are very pleased to announce that the
28th International Workshop on Smart Antennas 2025
will take place
from September 16-18, 2025
in Erlangen, Germany
The 28th International Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA 2025) offers a platform for showcasing the latest research on smart antennas, encompassing both theoretical and technical dimensions in contemporary wireless communication systems. The goal is to sustain, amplify, and expand the progress achieved since the inception of the workshop series in 1996.
This esteemed event gathers experts from academia and industry to discuss advancements, share insights, and foster collaborations. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in comprehensive sessions, keynotes, and panel discussions led by prominent figures in the field. By participating in WSA 2025, researchers and practitioners can stay at the forefront of innovation in smart antenna technologies and wireless communications.

Authors
General information about submission
You are cordially invited to submit full-length papers limited to a maximum of 6 pages in A4 format, using a 10-point font size. Accepted papers may include one additional page in the final camera-ready version, extending the limit to 7 pages with 10-point font size in A4 format (two-column IEEE conference format). LaTeX users should ensure to use IEEEtran style in conference and comsoc mode. Please refer to the IEEE Manuscript Template for Conference Proceedings guidelines when formatting the submission. The final manuscript must be certified by IEEE PDF eXpress.
Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarized material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and we will take action against any author who engages in either practice. For more information, please refer to the IEEE Policy on Plagiarism and the IEEE Policy on Double Submission.
All papers must be submitted as PDF file via EDAS. The submissions are peer-reviewed, and the proceedings will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The workshop will comprise both oral and poster presentations.
Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in person. We reserve the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.
Instructions for Final Manuscript Submission
Please make sure to complete all the steps for the final manuscript submission before the deadline of August 1, 2025.
No paper will be published without the submitted IEEE Copyright Form or registration to the conference.
For your convenience, the copyright form is made available digitally through EDAS. To access the IEEE eCopyright Form, click the “Add” icon in the “Copyright” row within your paper record. Please use the booking number from Eventbrite as registration code in EDAS and specify who will be presenting the paper in the “Presented by” row. Click that “Add” icon and select the presenter.
The final manuscript of your paper should account for all the critical reviewers’ feedback.
