The 28th International Workshop on Smart Antennas (WSA 2025) offers a platform for showcasing the latest research on smart antennas, encompassing both theoretical and technical dimensions in contemporary wireless communication systems. The goal is to sustain, amplify, and expand the progress achieved since the inception of the workshop series in 1996.

This esteemed event gathers experts from academia and industry to discuss advancements, share insights, and foster collaborations. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in comprehensive sessions, keynotes, and panel discussions led by prominent figures in the field. By participating in WSA 2025, researchers and practitioners can stay at the forefront of innovation in smart antenna technologies and wireless communications.

All papers must be submitted as PDF file via EDAS. The submissions are peer-reviewed, and the proceedings will be published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The workshop will comprise both oral and poster presentations.

Submission implies that at least one of the authors will register and present the paper in person. We reserve the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference, including publication in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, if the paper is not presented by the author at the conference.
