Decorre até 30 de janeiro o call for papers da 32ª URSI GASS (General Assembly and Scientific Symposium), que terá lugar de 19 a 26 de agosto de 2017 no palácio de Congressos em Montreal (Canadá).
Call for papers: http://www.ursi2017.org/side_program/scientific_program/call_for_submissions_e.shtml
Os artigos da URSI GASS serão indexados no IEEE Xplore (caso o autor esteja de acordo) e podem ser estendidos para qualquer uma das revistas/jornais da URSI (Radio Science e Radio Science Bulletin, igualmente indexadas no IEEE Xplore).
Informamos ainda que algumas das sessões serão coordenadas por elementos do Comité Português:
Commission A: Linear and Nonlinear Measurements for Communications Systems
Conveners: Pedro Miguel Cruz, Nuno Borges Carvalho
Cognitive Radio (CR), 5G communications and the Internet of things (IoT) are rapidly moving to all-digital implementations largely powered by software-defined radios (SDRs). SDRs facilitate frequency agility, operation over several frequency bands and different modulation formats. To characterize and model those systems and circuits, linear and nonlinear measurement strategies are of paramount importance. Moreover, the inclusion of 5G microwave and millimeter-wave standards will necessitate new measurement techniques and test benches of wafer MMIC devices. This session will focus on current developments and some classic views of linear and nonlinear measurements and adequate test and measurement strategies, concentrating on applications such as SDR/CR, 5G, satellite payloads, etc.
Commission A: Metrology for Wireless Power Transmission Solutions
Conveners: Nuno Borges Carvalho, Ke Wu
In this session the main issues to be addressed are measurements and instrumentation for wireless power transmission and electromagnetic energy harvesting, including IoT and RFID devices. Papers should focus on these themes spanning from material characterization to antenna measurements and nonlinear active device components.
Commission A: Space Metrology
Conveners: Liu Min, Pedro Miguel Cruz
Space metrology is required to assure unified and accurate measurements of space equipment and systems. There are three themes for Space Metrology. The first is in-orbit, embedded and automatic calibration of the spacecraft platform. The second applies to the space measurement instruments (the payload). These need be calibrated and include solar observation instruments, electromagnetic field measurements etc. The third addresses basic metrology theory that necessitates the reconsideration of the application of SI units in the space environment. According to general relativity, gravity affects the frequency of atomic clock, and then influences length, voltage and mass at scales of 1/c2. Timekeeping in space is a new topic and is an important issue in navigation and astronomical observations. This session will focus on in-orbit calibration of equipment in space, calibration of space environment simulations, space metrology theory in the context of general relativity etc.
Commissions ECJ: Spectrum Management
Conveners: J. Pedro Borrego, A. Tiplady, A. Shukla, H. Liszt
The focus of this session on spectrum management and spectrum utilization is of high interest to the community. We expect to give a short report of the related WG06 activities during the last period, along with our views on spectrum management, and on hot topics of today. International and local Chinese contributors will be invited such that first-hand reports on controversial spectrum management issues will be presented.
