Abstract Use 9-point Times New Roman Bold font for the
abstract. Set your line spacing to be 10-points rather than
single space. Indent the first line by 3.2 mm (0.125 inches) and
type the word "Abstract" in 9-point Times New Roman Bold
Italic. This should be followed by two spaces, a long dash, two
spaces, and then the first word of your abstract (as shown
above). Please try to keep the length of your abstract to 150
words or less. Times font is an acceptable substitute for Times
New Roman font. After the abstract, you should list a few key
words from the IEEE approved Index Terms (available on
HTTP://WWW.IEEE.ORG/DOCUMENTS/2009TAXONOMY_
V101.PDF) that describe your paper. The index terms are used
by automated IEEE search engines to quickly locate your paper.
Typically, you should list about 5 to 7 key words, in alphabetical
order, using 9 point Times New Roman Bold font. An example
is shown next.
Index Terms Ceramics, coaxial resonators, delay filters,
delay-lines, power amplifiers.

equation. Makesurethatanysubscriptsinyourequations

anequation,usethenumberwithinparenthesis.Forexample,
youwouldusuallyrefertothesecondequationas(2)rather

special characters, or better yet, use Equation Editor or
