From 24 May to 27 May, 2017, XI International Conference on Antenna Theory and Techniques, ICATT was held at the premises of Igor Sikorsky KPI. Our university organized and hosted this conference for the fourth time, and for the fourth time its chairman was the head of the Department of Theoretical Foundations of Radio Engineering of the RTF Doctor of Technical Sciences, professor. F.F. Dubrovka. He is a world-known scientist in the field of antenna theory and techniques.
The hosts of the conference were IEEE Ukraine Section and Igor Sikorsky KPI. The conference was supported by well-known scientific and educational institutions such as Ukrainian National Association "Antennas", the Institute of Radio Astronomy of NASU, O.Ya.Usikov Institute for Radiophysics and Electronics, of NASU, Kharkiv National University of Radioelectronics, Lviv Polytechnic National University and Karazin Kharkiv National University. Financial support was provided by LLC UKRANTAH, TOV “UKRANTECH”, TOV “KVALITEK” and Bank Center. The main media sponsor was the international journal of the Faculty of Radio Engineering of our university "Izvestiya Vuzov, Radioelectronika", which is published in the USA under the name "Radioelectronics and Communications Systems".

In total, the Organizing Committee received 125 reports from more than 10 countries, 111 of which passed the review and were admitted to the conference. The participants of the conference were more than 70 researchers from 5 countries, including Dr. R. Donnan, Dr. R. Dubrovka and Dr. J. Rigelsdorf from Great Britain, Professor. O. Sh. Dautov and Professor V.I. Dzhigan from the Russian Federation, Professor B.M. Levin from Israel and Dr. A. Harmuch from Lebanon. Based on the results of the conference, 99 scientific papers are included in the database of the IEEE Xplore Digital Library, which is indexed by the international scientometric database Scopus.

The grand opening of the conference took place in the meeting room of the Academic Council. The conference ICATT-2017 was opened by its chairman Professor F.F. Dubrovka. The participants of the conference were congratulated by the vice-rector of Scientific Work of the Igor Sikorsky KPI, member of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine M.I. Ilichenko. Participants watched the video massage of the Honorary Chairman of the ICATT conference, the President of the Ukrainian National Association "Antennas", Professor Ya.S. Shifrin.

During three days, the conference participants worked in 3 plenary sessions and 11 specialized sessions of six sections, namely: antenna theory, antenna arrays, adaptive and smart antennas, ultra-wide band and printed antennas, microwave components, measurements and applications of microwave technologies, signal processing, etc.

At the closing ceremony, young researchers received certificates and valuable prizes for the best reports on each of the six sections of the conference. Among the awarded are two young scientists – S.I. Piltіaі and O.E. Vidalko – from the Department of Theoretical Foundations of Radio Engineering of our university. The conference participants highly appreciated both the organization of the conference and its scientific content.
