Roles and Challenges of Microwave Technologies in Intelligent Transport System
Organizers :  Ken Takei (Hitachi Ltd.), Atsushi Sanada (Yamaguchi Univ.)
Chair :  Ken Takei (Hitachi Ltd.)

In next-generation ITS communication systems, radio wave interference with frequency sharing with existing systems, such as Wi-Fi at 5.8GHz/5.9GHz band has become a problem. In order to overcome this issue, it is crucial to cooperate with various points of view from microwave devices, antennas, and system levels through application, legal and administrative levels. However, this multi-level problem has not been discussed so far or even there is no place for the discussion.
This panel session discusses challenges and potential solutions for the problem for the first time with multi level professionals.

IoT Creating Future Society and Its Issues
Organizers :  Minoru Fujishima (Hiroshima Univ.), Toshihiko Hamasaki (Hirosshima Inst. of Tech.)
Chair :  Toshihiko Hamasaki (Hirosshima Inst. of Tech.)

IoT (Internet of Things)connects a thing and a thing. What is IoT different from a conventional sensor network as a system? When a thing and a thing are connected in the real physical world, the exchanged information between them is processed at more direct working level. A network for IoT is also reconfigurable for constructing multifunctional advanced system.
In this workshop, key idea and system-level issues in IoT from such point of view discuss.

Demystifying S Parameters : Confusion Surrounding S-Parameter Definitions
Organizers :  :Atsushi Sanada (Yamaguchi Univ.)
Chair :  Kiyomichi Araki (Tokyo Inst. of Tech.)

The most commonly used S parameters are normalized to a real reference resistance, typically 50Ω. In some cases, the use of S-parameters normalized to some complex reference impedance is essential or convenient. But there are different definitions of complex-referenced S parameters that are incompatible with each another and serve different purposes. To make matters worse, different simulators implement different ones and which ones are implemented is rarely properly documented.
In this seminar, we will consider possible scenarios in which using the right one matters.
