The 2010 APS/URSI Symposium is the premier international forum for the exchange of information on state-of-the-art research in antennas, electromagnetic- wave propagation, radio science, and electromagnetic engineering. This event will be held on July 11-17, 2010 at the Sheraton Centre Hotel in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The symposium and meeting are co-sponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and CNC/USNC/URSI. The symposium generally attracts over 1,500 attendees from around the world.

The new 3D EM solver EMPIRE XCcel 5.40 will be presented which covers nearly all today's design challenges for RF designers, like antennas, passive circuits, packages, waveguides or EMC/EMI problems. Due to its efficient implementation it is possible to model large scale problems with up to, e.g. 1000 million FDTD Cells using EMPIRE XCcel on a 24 GByte PC* with a performance of up to 2200 MCells/s. In order to cover even larger problem sizes EMPIRE XCcel has been extended to solve single jobs very efficiently on multiple PCs.
