IEEE IMAS 2026 Special Sessions

Session 01
C-Band & 6G
Disruptive C-Band Antenna Technologies Shaping the 6G Era
The transition from 5G to 6G is redefining antenna systems into intelligent, adaptive enablers of connectivity. While sub-THz research dominates attention, C-band remains essential for wide-area coverage and scalable deployment.
Muhammad Ali Babar Abbasi (QUB), Saleem Shahid (TU Graz)
Session 02
Metasurfaces & RIS
Wavefront Engineering Through Programmable Holographic Metasurface Antennas (PHMAs) and RIS for 6G
6G aims to enable a multi-functional digital ecosystem supporting high-capacity communication and sensing. PHMAs and RIS enable dynamic wavefront control and advanced communication capabilities.
Abdul Jabbar, Will Whittow (Loughborough University)
