The 20th European Radar Conference (EuRAD 2023) will be held from the 20th to 22nd September 2023 in Berlin, Germany, in the framework of the European Microwave Week 2023. This Radar Conference is the major European event for the present status and the future trends in the field of radar research, technology, system design, and applications. The EuRAD conference will bring together a global network of researchers, practitioners, and institutes working on topics related to the following four areas of focus.
The Radar Sub-systems and Phenomenology topic comprises radar electromagnetic phenomenology (including radar cross section) modelling and characterisation, antenna design (simulation and measurements) including innovations and methods in antenna characterisation, active or passive phased arrays and transceiver technologies as well as reconfigurable front-ends and sub-systems.
The Radar Signal and Data Processing topic aims to attract innovative research contributions on digital beamforming and other multi-antenna processing techniques (including MIMO, multi-static, and networked), interferometry, polarimetry, tomography, waveform diversity, detection, tracking, and target localisation, high-resolution radar signal processing techniques, classification, robust multidimensional signal processing techniques, and compressive sensing. Submissions are also expected in the use of machine learning, deep learning, and adaptive techniques for radar.
The Radar Architecture and Systems topic incorporates the latest development of sensors from the classical designs such as CW, over-the-horizon, passive, noise, and polarimetric radar, up to the most complex and sophisticated architectures, incorporated in, for example, remotely piloted aircraft, multisensory and multifunctional systems, UWB systems and millimetre-wave and THz radars. New tools for radar simulation and system performance modelling, model-based design, as well as new trends in cognitive, bio-inspired and software defined radars are encompassed.
The Radar Applications topic encompasses various domains such as automotive radars, radars for UAVs, defence and security, ground/space radar, remote sensing, subsurface and ground penetrating radar, surveillance, traffic control, as well as other radar uses, related to medical, industrial, and system diagnostic applications. Novel applications benefiting from multi-static radar systems, passive radar, short range and nearfield radars, bio-medical imaging, millimetre-wave and THz technology or any other new emerging radar application are also included. A transversal focus is also expected on the re-emerging areas of electronic surveillance and countermeasures for radar applications also in relation to the growth of the internet-of-things.

Conference Highlights
The conference is the ideal event to keep up to date with the latest achievements in the field of radar and to interact with international experts from industry and academia. The conference brings together researchers and radar designers and developers from all over the world to stimulate development of new trends, products, and services. International experts will present keynote papers on topics of current importance and on the latest advances. Tailored short-courses and workshops will complement the programme.
EuMA Radar Prize
The EuMA Radar Prize is awarded by the EuRAD Technical Programme Committee and the EuMW Steering Committee to the best paper at the 20th European Radar Conference. The value of the EuMA Radar Prize is €3,000. An extended version of the winning paper will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies.
EuRAD Young Engineer Prize
The EuRAD Technical Programme Committee and the EuMW Steering Committee will award a EuRAD Young Engineer Prize of €2,000 to young engineers or researchers who have presented an outstanding contribution at the European Radar Conference. To be eligible, candidates must (1) be under 30 years of age at date of award, (2) be the first author of the paper, and (3) be the contribution presenter in an oral or a poster session. The first author must have made a major contribution to the work reported which must be described in an electronic statement signed by all authors of the paper (effectively co-authors state that their contribution was merely advisory). Further rules are similar to EuMC and EuMIC.
Reduced Fees and Special Grants
Reduced registration fees are offered for students as well as senior persons aged 65 years or more and for military personnel (with proof of affiliation). The European Microwave Association will also provide up to five student grants of €750 and free EuRAD registration. Applicants for a student grant must be aged 30 or younger at the time of the European Microwave Week, be a fulltime student, i.e., an undergraduate or a PhD student, and they will be asked to provide a supervisor’s written confirmation of their current student status. The European Microwave Association will also provide a number of grants for delegates coming from the Newly Independent States and from low-income countries. We will be particularly proud to support applications from Ukrainian scholars. The value of the grant is €750 in addition to a free EuRAD registration. Applications should be sent to the EuMW 2023 Grants Chair by emailing grants.eumw2023@eumwa.org within the deadline (see “Important Dates” section).
