Abstract: These instructions give you the basic guidelines for preparing camera-ready papers for Acta Tehnica Napocensis Electronics and Telecommunications journal. Use computer desktop software with proportional fonts and several type sizes. Define all symbols used in the paper. If you consider that the instructions are not clear enough, please do not hesitate to contact the Publishing Committee for your questions (email: , http://bavaria.utcluj.ro/~atn). Please put your text through a spell-checker and ensure use of clear, accurate English. The abstract should not exceed 100 words, on a single column.
Key words: Acta Tehnica Napocensis, typing instructions, parts of text, upper case.

I. PAGE FORMAT
Prepare you camera-ready paper in full-size format, on A4 (210 x 297 mm). The papers should include an even number of pages (4, 6 or 8), on one side of the sheet. Quality white paper should be used. Multiplying will be carried out by 1:1 scale photocopying.
In formatting your page, set the left margin to 2cm, the top margin on the first page to 5cm (on the other pages to 3cm), the right margin to 2cm and the bottom margin to 3cm. Authors are asked not to include any header and not to number the pages. A laser printer should be employed.
II. TYPE STYLES AND POINT SIZES
The text will include the following sequence of parts:
Title: 14 bold, all capitals, centered, close to the upper margin, followed by a free line
Authors: first name (lower case), surname (upper case), centered, 11 pt.
Affiliation: 10 pt, italic, followed by 2 free lines
Abstract: 9pt, bold, on 1 column
Keywords: 10 pt, italic, 1 column
The main text: 2 equal "balanced newspaper" columns, 0,5 cm between columns, 10pt.
References: 9 pt, numbered and written according with IEEE standard. In the main text reference citations will be indicated by arab digits between square brackets [1], [1, 3-6]
The best results should be obtained if serif typeface such as TIMES NEW ROMAN or TIMES ROMAN fonts are employed. Avoid sans serif typefaces such as Swiss or Helvetica.
Titles headings will be centered on their column, will be typed in all capital letters and numbered with Roman numerals. They will be separated from the previous text body by one free line. No free line will be left between the title and following paragraph. A new paragraph (tabs) should be indented by 0,5 cm. If your paper is longer than the allowed page limit, you may shorten it by using a slightly smaller type size for the main text or by slightly reducing the space between lines.
III. EQUATION, TABLES
AND ILLUSTRATIONS
Equations, tables and figures will be included in the text in the order of reference.
Equations are to be numbered sequentially with arab normal digits between parentheses, placed at the right end of the line. A blank line should be inserted both before and after the equation.

Figures are to be accompanied by a caption (e.g. Figure 1. This is an example of a figure.) using 10 pt, italic. They should be numbered sequentially. A blank line should be inserted both before and after the figure.
Figure 1. This is an example of a figure.
All line drawings and photos should be in black and white, unless color is specifically required. Smaller size equations, tables, illustrations will be positioned within the paragraphs; their width should not exceed that of the column. Large figures, tables, formulae can be inserted on the whole width of the page, preferably at the beginning or the end of the page.
Physical quantities in the text should be typed italics too, e.g. in the explanations following the formulae. Refer to all equations, tables and illustrations in the text. Use only standard symbols and abbreviations unless defined when first used in the text. Be sure that all subscripts, superscript, Greek letters and mathematical symbols are clearly identified.
