A. Template
This document ma# 'e used as a template for preparin%
#our Transactions paper. Bou ma# t#pe o)er sections of the
document, cut and paste into it, andCor use mar&up st#les.
B. Format
If #ou choose not to use this document as a template,
prepare #our technical *or& in sin%le>spaced, dou'le>column
format, on paper 32.:D3E.< centimeters 5;.FD22 inches or
F2D:: picas6. !et top and 'ottom mar%ins to 2:.< millimeters

5i.e., te"t, ta'les, fi%ures, and e+uations ma# not e"tend into

inches or 32 picas6. The space 'et*een the t*o columns is A.3
millimeters 5=.2E inch or 2 pica6. $ara%raph indentation is
A.3 millimeters 5=.2E inch or 2 pica6. Use full ?ustification.
Use either one or t*o spaces 'et*een sections, and 'et*een
te"t and ta'les or fi%ures, to ad?ust the column len%th.
C. Typefaces and Sizes
Use a proportional serif t#peface such as Times Roman or
Times Ne* Roman and em'ed all fonts. Ta'le I pro)ides
samples of the appropriate t#pe si(es and st#les to use.
D. Section Headings
A primar# section headin% is enumerated '# a Roman
numeral follo*ed '# a period and is centered a'o)e the te"t.
A primar# headin% should 'e in capital letters.
A secondar# section headin% is enumerated '# a capital
letter follo*ed '# a period and is flush left a'o)e the section.
The first letter of each important *ord is capitali(ed and the
headin% is italici(ed.
A tertiar# section headin% is enumerated '# an ara'ic
numeral follo*ed '# a parenthesis. It is indented and is
follo*ed '# a colon. The first letter of each important *ord is
capitali(ed and the headin% is italici(ed.
A +uaternar# section headin% is rarel# necessar#, 'ut is
perfectl# accepta'le if re+uired. It is enumerated '# a
lo*ercase letter follo*ed '# a parenthesis. It is indented and
is follo*ed '# a colon. Onl# the first letter of the headin% is

Do not put captions in Hte"t 'o"esH lin&ed to the fi%ures. Do
not put 'orders around #our fi%ures.
All fi%ures and ta'les must 'e in place in the te"t near, 'ut

use Insert L $icture from .ile.
F. #"mbering
Num'er reference citations consecuti)el# in s+uare
'rac&ets M2N. The sentence punctuation follo*s the 'rac&ets
M3N. Multiple references M3N, M4N are each num'ered *ith
separate 'rac&ets M2N>M4N. Refer simpl# to the reference

Insert .ootnote6. $lace the actual footnote at the 'ottom of the

Chec& that all fi%ures and ta'les are num'ered correctl#.
Use ara'ic numerals for fi%ures and Roman numerals for
ta'les.

$. %nits
Metric units are preferred for use in IEEE pu'lications in
li%ht of their %lo'al readership and the inherent con)enience
of these units in man# fields. In particular, the use of the
International !#stem of Units 5!#steme Internationale
d7Unites or !I Units6 is ad)ocated. This s#stem includes a
su's#stem of units 'ased on the meter, &ilo%ram, second, and
ampere 5MJ!A6. 1ritish units ma# 'e used as secondar#
units 5in parentheses6. An e"ception is *hen 1ritish units are
used as identifiers in trade, such as 4.F>inch dis& dri)e.
H. Abbre&iations and Acronyms
Define less common a''re)iations and acron#ms the first
time the# are used in the te"t, e)en after the# ha)e 'een
defined in the a'stract. A''re)iations such as IEEE, !I,
MJ!, C0!, ac, dc, and rms do not ha)e to 'e defined. Do not
use a''re)iations in the title unless the# are una)oida'le.
!ee Appendi" A of the Author,s Jit for additional

I. Mat' and ("ations
Use either the Microsoft E+uation Editor or the Mat'Type
commercial add>on for M! 9ord for all math o'?ects in #our
paper 5Insert L E+uation or MathT#pe E+uation6. H.loat o)er
te"tH should not 'e selected.
To ma&e #our e+uations more compact, #ou ma# use the
solidus 5 C 6, the e"p function, or appropriate e"ponents.
Italici(e Roman s#m'ols for +uantities and )aria'les, 'ut not
0ree& s#m'ols. Use a lon% dash rather than a h#phen for a
minus si%n. Use parentheses to a)oid am'i%uities in
denominators.
Num'er e+uations consecuti)el# *ith e+uation num'ers in
parentheses flush *ith the ri%ht mar%in, as in 526. 1e sure
that the s#m'ols in #our e+uation ha)e 'een defined 'efore
