The IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology (iWAT) is an annual forum for the presentation and discussion on the newest research and development of innovative antenna technologies. The 2019 iWAT will be held in Miami, Florida, on March 3-6, 2019. The workshop is sponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society and the local IEEE chapter. The workshop features 4 plenary talks and 8 invited sessions with more than 40 distinguished researchers in this research community. In addition, the workshop has 3 interactive poster sessions with more than 100 presentations by graduate students and industry professionals. The workshop therefore provides a unique setting for graduate students to interact with and learn from experts from academia and industry. To support the training and education of next-generation scientists and engineers working on antenna technologies, this NSF grant provides travel support for graduate students to present their research papers at the conference and learn the advanced research and development in antenna technologies. The travel grants will be awarded competitively to 30 graduate students from U.S. institutions. A selection committee is formed to manage the award selection process. To promote diversity, priority will be given to underrepresented students including women and minority. This NSF grant will benefit participating students by enabling them to gain experience and skills in presentation, to learn about the latest developments in antenna research and emerging applications, and to network with the international antenna community that can lead to future collaborations or career opportunities. As the antenna plays a vital role in many wireless systems and applications, this travel grant support has broad impacts to the society.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

IEEE 国际天线技术研讨会 (iWAT) 是一个年度论坛，旨在展示和讨论创新天线技术的最新研究和开发。 2019 iWAT 将于 2019 年 3 月 3 日至 6 日在佛罗里达州迈阿密举行。该研讨会由 IEEE 天线和传播协会以及当地 IEEE 分会赞助。研讨会包括 4 场全体会议和 8 场特邀会议，与会者包括该研究界的 40 多名杰出研究人员。此外，研讨会还设有 3 场互动海报会议，由研究生和行业专业人士进行 100 多场演讲。因此，研讨会为研究生提供了一个与学术界和工业界专家互动并向他们学习的独特环境。为了支持下一代天线技术科学家和工程师的培训和教育，国家科学基金会的这笔赠款为研究生提供差旅费支持，以在会议上展示他们的研究论文并学习天线技术的先进研究和开发。旅费补助金将竞争性地颁发给来自美国院校的 30 名研究生。 成立一个评选委员会来管理奖项评选过程。为了促进多样性，将优先考虑代表性不足的学生，包括女性和少数族裔。 NSF 的这笔赠款将使参与的学生受益，使他们能够获得演讲的经验和技能，了解天线研究和新兴应用的最新发展，并与国际天线社区建立联系，从而获得未来的合作或职业机会。由于天线在许多无线系统和应用中发挥着至关重要的作用，这项旅行补助金支持对社会具有广泛的影响。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
