CPEM 2004
Conference on Precision Electromagnetic Measurements

Scope of conference

CPEM encompasses topics related to electromagnetic measurements of the highest accuracy covering the frequency spectrum from DC through RF and microwave to the optical region and beyond. In particular, the conference covers research and development activities related to both quantum and conventional realisation of the SI electrical units and derived quantities, including current, voltage and impedance at DC and AC, RF and microwave quantities, and magnetic quantities, as well as time and frequency measurements.

Contributions on new and emerging technologies, such as microelectromechanical systems, bio- and nano-technology, and telecommunications, where they provide novel solutions to the measurement of electromagnetic quantities or create their own measurement challenges are also welcome. CPEM is also one of the major international forums for work on accurate determination of fundamental physical constants, such as Newton's gravitational constant and Planck's constant.

The CPEM technical programme will consist of poster and oral sessions, including a number of invited presentations by leading scientists working at the frontiers of measurement science and technology.
