Training Workshops

On 7^th March, one day before the conference begins, two training workshops (short courses) will be offered:

• Workshop 1 (08:30 – 12:30):
  Modern Radar-Concepts for Remote Sensing: Engineering Aspects, Multi-Parameter Measurements and their Interpretation.
  
  Presenters:
  Prof. Dr. M. Chandra (Modern Principles of Radars, A Wave-Form Approach),
  Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Keydel (Principles of Modern SAR and SAR Applications),
  Prof. Dr. V. Chandrasekar (Modern Aspects of Weather Radars),
  Dr. Martin Hagen (Polarimetric Weather Radar Measurements),
  Dr. Frank Gekat (Commercial Weather Radars Today),
  Mr. Tobias Otto (Principles and Applications of FMCW Radars).

• Topics common to workshop 1 and 2 (13:40 - 15:00):
  
  Presenters:
  Prof. Dr. M. Chandra (Principles of Microwave Propagation for Radars and Communication Links, with a special reference to satellite links),
  Prof. Dr. Clemens Simmer (Atmospheric Remote Sensing),
  Prof. Dr. Thomas Kürner (Millimeter Wave Propagation).

• Workshop 2 (15:30 – 19:00):
  Modern Concepts of Propagation for Communications, Remote Sensing, and Space Applications.
  
  Presenters:
  Prof. Dr. Ondrej Fišer (Budget Planning for Microwave Links),
  Dr. Andreas Danklmayer (Propagation Effects for Satellite-Mounted Radars),
  Dr. Achim Hornbostel (Propagation Aspects of GNSS Applications, to be confirmed),
  Prof. Dr. Gerd Wanielik (Multi-Sensor Automotive Applications),
  Agilent Technologies: Demostration of Microwave Measuring Equipment.

To register for the workshops, please check the corresponding boxes on the registration form.

These workshops/short courses will offer excellent opportunities to newcomers and professionals alike to acquaint or re-acquaint themselves with technical knowledge required in dealing with issues of the current state-of-the-art. The workshop presentations will be specially tailored to match the knowledge requirements of scientists from diverse backgrounds, engineering or non-engineering alike.

Exceptionally: non-conference participants who wish to attend only the training workshops may do so. Persons interested should get in touch with the conference office.
