COST 284 Final Report
Articles Report

Barcelona 2004


The 6th Management Committee Meeting took place from 7-10 September 2004 in Barcelona, Spain, and included a workshop in conjunction with the Spanish URSI Meeting. The Spanish URSI meeting is a big event, with about 500 people in 9 parallel sessions and extending over three days. The five joint URSI/COST 284 antenna sessions with almost 60 participants formed one of the nine series of sessions.

The presentations and COST 284 related papers are summarised in the table below.
