The European Radar Conference (EuRAD)

7 - 9 October 2026

Join us at the 23rd European Radar Conference (EuRAD 2026) from October 7 – 9, 2026, in London, UK, as part of European Microwave Week 2026. This premier event is the most important European event for the state-of-the-art and the future directions in the field of radar research, technologies, system design, and applications. The EuRAD conference will bring together a global network of researchers, practitioners, and institutes working on radar. The paper presented are clustered around four main categories.

Radar Phenomenology and Modelling comprises a wide range of radar systems and approaches, such as ultra-wide band, noise, quantum, polarimetric, imaging, synthetic aperture, HF and over the horizon, multistatic and networked radar. It also includes aspects of radar electromagnetic phenomenology modelling, such as developing digital twins of radar systems, as well as the characterisation of propagation and scattering through different mediums.

Radar Technologies focusses on the various architectures and modules constituting a wide range of radar systems. Here, innovative research contributions are expected at multiple levels, from RF components, circuits and modules to entire multifunctional and reconfigurable architectures, from phased array technologies designed for long-range applications, to mm-wave and THz systems targeting shorter ranges with high resolution. Part of these topics include research contributions and technologies in the area of waveform synthesis; transmit, receive, passive and multistatic architectures; synchronization and joint sensing and communication, as well as results in the area of sustainable and energy-efficient technologies for size weight and power reduction.

Radar Signal Processing, Algorithms and AI aims to attract research contributions in the context of radar signal processing. This encompasses a wide range of techniques, including but not limited to antenna array, MIMO, detection, compressive sensing, tracking and data fusion, radar sensor management, imaging and super-resolution techniques, radarbased automatic target classification, cognitive techniques and spectrum sharing, as well as quantum computing algorithms applied to radar.

Finally, Radar Applications aims to include the vast number of domains where radar systems and techniques have been recently applied, from defence and security applications such as electronic surveillance and warfare and UAV detection, classification and tracking, to civilian applications of radar in the medical, biological, and industrial fields, such as human activity monitoring and gesture recognition. Moreover, this category aims to attract novel contributions in the field of radar for automotive, industrial and security applications, as well as geoscience, environmental and weather monitoring, and space domain sensing and situational awareness.

The conference will feature more than 100 papers delivered in up to six parallel oral technical sessions and two poster sessions throughout the three-days of the event. The conference papers have been subjected to rigorous peer-review and will be published subsequently in the IEEE Xplore digital library. Extended versions of selected papers will also feature in a special issue of the International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies.

If you are eager to hear of the latest advances in Radar and how these will drive the next generation applications, with a focus on sustainability, attend the EuRAD conference in October 2026! The organisational team is putting together an outstanding programme, ensuring you will not be disappointed.  Don’t miss this opportunity to be at the forefront of radar innovation and network with leading researchers and practitioners.
