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

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

M3N. Multiple references M3N, M4N are each num'ered *ith

$. %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.

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
