On March 25 and 26, 2014, the kick-off of the INAF Progetto Premiale 2012 iALMA took place in the beautiful and historic location of the Villa Il Gioiello. iALMA workpackage leaders from several Italian institutes gathered together to carefully plan the first year activities for the project and to discuss the detailed project implementation with the iALMA External Advisory Board. The iALMA kick-off meeting was followed by an international workshop at-tended by participants from all ALMA partners in Chile, Europe, Japan and North America, and focused on developing the foundations of an upgrade of the ALMA Observatory aimed at equipping all 66 antennas with the a new receiver: the so-called Band 2+3. Here I provide a brief account of the goals of the iALMA project and of the ALMA Band 2+3 project. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the known advantages of an electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) ground plane is the fact that a straight-wire dipole can be located parallel and in very close proximity to the ground plane. For such a structure and geometry, a reasonable impedance match to 50 Ω can be achieved with more bandwidth than when the dipole is located in close proximity to a PEC ground plane. However, in addition to impedance, radiation-pattern properties must be considered when evaluating the antenna's overall performance and usable bandwidth. Here, we consider the performance properties of a folded bowtie dipole element in close proximity to an EBG ground plane, with emphasis on examining the bandwidth and pattern characteristics. We demonstrate that a dipole element can be designed to exhibit a matched input impedance over approximately a 1.4:1 bandwidth with respect to a 50 Ω characteristic impedance, when located in close proximity to the EBG ground plane. While the shape of the radiation pattern of the antenna remains relatively unchanged over much of this operating bandwidth, we show that the usable bandwidth of the antenna-EBG combination is limited to approximately 1.5:1, due to pattern degradation at both the lower and upper frequencies. Details of the design approach and feed structure used to match the impedance of the dipole to 50 Ω are discussed. Finally, we show that with this element design, the reflection phase bandwidth of the EBG ground plane does not limit the matched impedance bandwidth of the antenna. Aportion of the work detailed here was presented at the 2005 Antenna Applications Symposium. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article profiles the Charleston community in South Carolina, venue of the 2009 International Electric and Electronics Engineer (IEEE) International Symposium on antennas technology. It examines the best places worthy to be explored by symposium participants. It is mentioned that Charleston is rich in historic places, having the beautiful old churches, public buildings, and 18th century Rainbow Row. A tour in the city would mean visiting a beautiful old historic district in the United States. Several tours in Charleston include cobblestones and gardens walking tour, landmark plantation tour, and ghostly night on the town.
