This document is a model and instructions for L

X. Please
observe the conference page limits.
II. E ASE O F USE
A. Maintaining the Integrity of the Specifications
The IEEEtran class file is used to format your paper and
style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and
text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them. You may
note peculiarities. For example, the head margin measures
proportionately more than is customary. This measurement and
others are deliberate, using specifications that anticipate your
paper as one part of the entire proceedings, and not as an
independent document. Please do not revise any of the current
designations.
III. PREPA RE YOU R PAPER BE FOR E STYL ING
Before you begin to format your paper, first write and
save the content as a separate text file. Complete all content
and organizational editing before formatting. Please note sec-
tions III-A–III-E below for more information on proofreading,
spelling and grammar.
Keep your text and graphic files separate until after the text
has been formatted and styled. Do not number text heads—
L
A
T
E
X will do that for you.
A. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are
used in the text, even after they have been defined in the
abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc,
and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations
in the title or heads unless they are unavoidable.
B. Units
•Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units
are encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary
units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk
drive”.
•Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current
in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often
leads to confusion because equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state
the units for each quantity that you use in an equation.
•Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units:
“Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter”, not “webers/m2”.
Spell out units when they appear in text: “. . . a few
henries”, not “. . . a few H”.
•Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25”, not “.25”. Use
“cm3”, not “cc”.)
C. Equations
Number equations consecutively. To make your equations
more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp
function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols
for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a
long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Punctuate
equations with commas or periods when they are part of a
sentence, as in:
a+b=γ(1)
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined
before or immediately following the equation. Use “(1)”, not
“Eq. (1)” or “equation (1)”, except at the beginning of a
sentence: “Equation (1) is . . .”

X-Specific Advice
Please use “soft” (e.g., \eqref{Eq}) cross references
instead of “hard” references (e.g., (1)). That will make it
possible to combine sections, add equations, or change the
order of figures or citations without having to go through the
file line by line.
Please don’t use the {eqnarray} equation environ-
ment. Use {align} or {IEEEeqnarray} instead. The
{eqnarray} environment leaves unsightly spaces around
relation symbols.
Please note that the {subequations} environment in
L
A
T
E
X will increment the main equation counter even when
there are no equation numbers displayed. If you forget that,
you might write an article in which the equation numbers skip
from (17) to (20), causing the copy editors to wonder if you’ve
discovered a new method of counting.
BIBT
E
X does not work by magic. It doesn’t get the biblio-
graphic data from thin air but from .bib files. If you use BIBT
E
X
to produce a bibliography you must send the .bib files.
