ITU Journal on radiowave propagation extends submission deadline
24 June 2019 is the new deadline for submissions to the special issue of the ITU Journal on radiowave propagation.
Radiowave propagation enables mobile-wireless, fixed and satellite communication, radio and television broadcasting, satellite navigation, connected cars, global positioning systems, the monitoring of our environment, emergency communications, and even deep-space research. Radio has become essential to business and daily life, and critical to safety on land, at sea and in the sky.
But radio-frequency spectrum is a shared – and finite – global resource. Spectrum is in very high demand, the available spectrum is congested, and access to spectrum for commercial use is expensive.
Ensuring the efficient use of radio-frequency spectrum is central to ITU’s mandate. The omnipresence of radio services highlights the enduring importance of this work.

Innovation to increase spectral efficiency is fundamental to the sustainable growth of radiocommunications. Radio services must operate as efficiently as possible, using the minimum-possible amount of spectrum and avoiding interference with other services.
The third special issue of the ITU Journal will provide decision-makers in the public and private sector with a unique insight into the latest developments in radiowave propagation and prospects for future innovation.
Papers will highlight advances in propagation modelling and our understanding of related phenomena, addressing their implications for radio systems’ performance, availability and reliability, the efficient use of radiofrequency spectrum, and the planning of radio systems and networks.
Submissions will be organized into three tracks:
- Fundamentals of radiowave propagation
- Radiowave propagation modelling methods
- The impact of radiowave propagation modelling methods on link/network planning, optimization and reliability
