IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation is a peer reviewed scientific journal. The targeted readership is derived from those whose field of interests dovetail with the IEEE Antennas & Propagation Society. This readership encompasses engineers practicing in the field, including specialists There are also educators and students who share this field of interest.[1][2]
This journal publishes research and applications in advances in antennas that is theoretical or experimental. Design and development is included in this focus of antenna advancement. This publications also focuses on science in the propagation of electromagnetic waves.[1]
IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation has been publishing since 1952, and has since published thousands of articles on a wide range of topics within the fields of interest. 12 issues per year are published along with occasional Special issues.

In general, interest in electromagnetic wave propagation includes scattering, diffraction, and interaction with continuous media. In addition, the focus of the journal includes applications pertaining to antennas and propagation, such as remote sensing, applied optics, and millimeter and submillimeter wave techniques.[1][2]
Based on ratings from the ISI Web of Knowledge, the impact factor for this particular "Transactions" journal in 2008 was approximately 2.5 (2-year) and 2.7 over the five-year cycle. In addition, there more than 15,000 citations with an immediacy index of 0.235.[2]
IEEE papers appear to have had a notable impact on subsequent patented inventions, because IEEE publishes a large percentage of the scientific papers cited in patents. 1790 Analytics LLC., which specializes in intellectual property evaluation, conducted a study of the most referenced publishers cited for patent applications, in 2009. As reported by the top 20 patenting organizations, the most-cited publisher in new patents is IEEE. Patents filed with the U.S. Patent Office between 1997-2008 by the top-patenting organizations demonstrated that IEEE peer reviewed journals and conference proceedings received more than 117,000 patent citations (that's 35.41% of the total citations of top 25 publishers). In other words, IEEE academic journals and proceedings publications are cited heavily by later patents. This is a ratio of 3.5 over the next nearest top rated publisher. The next nearest top rank is shared by Reed, Elsevier, Pergamon, Academic Press, and Saunders at approximately 32, 670 (9.85%) citations (See study and graph here).[3]
