CHAIR’S MESSAGE

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is my pleasure to

welcome you to attend the 2007 International Symposium on

Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2007) to be held at the Niigata

Convention Center ''TOKI MESSE'' in Niigata, Japan, August 20

(Monday) through August 24 (Friday), 2007. This Symposium, the

12th ISAP, is sponsored and organized by the Institute of

Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE)

and is held in cooperation with the International Union of Radio

Science (URSI), the Antennas and Propagation Society of the

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE/APS), the

Antennas and Propagation Professional Network of the Institution of Electrical Engineering and

Technology (IET) and the Korea Electromagnetic Engineering Society (KEES).

The International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP) was born in 1971 and had been held

only in Japan. ISAP2005 in Seoul, Korea and ISAP2006 in Singapore, were the first and the second

Symposia held outside of Japan. During the period of ISAP2006 in Singapore, the ISAP International

Steering Committee (ISAP ISC) was established with members from nine Asia-Pacific countries/regions.

ISAP ISC is responsible for planning a series of future ISAP symposia in the Asia-Pacific region. After the

great success of these two symposia outside of Japan and the establishment of ISAP ISC, ISAP now begins

as a truly international series of symposia steered by Asia-Pacific countries/regions.

ISAP2007 is now coming back to its homeland Japan. It provides an international forum for the

exchange of information on the progress of research and development in antennas, propagation,

electromagnetic wave theory, and related fields. Thanks to the intensive collaboration with the steering

committee members from the AP community as well as the local organizing committee from Niigata

University, we have almost completed preparations for a very attractive and rich symposium. Thanks to the

intensive works conducted by the Technical Program Committee chaired by Prof. T. Hori, we have been

finalizing the Symposium Program. A total of 34 topics including 6 special ones were prepared in the call

for papers. As a result, we have received more than 410 submissions and the TPC have reviewed and

selected about 370 papers. TPC has put together a rich set of sessions, that is, 61 oral sessions with 5 papers,

a plenary sessions and 1 poster session. These include progress in basic topics of broadband/Multi-band

antenna design as well as the latest topics focused in the Special topics, such as metamaterials and systems

study such as MIMO/Ubiquitous, etc. Five invited talks and four short courses will be scheduled; two

plenary talks will focus upon future radio telecommunications policy and spectrum management in Japan

toward Ubiquitous Network Society and polarimetric radar remote sensing including the local information

of the Niigata Chuetsu Earthquake in 2004. ISAP2007 will award Young Scientist Travel Grants, paper

awards and poster presentation awards. A Special Section on ISAP2007 is planned for the June, 2008 issue

of the IEICE Transactions on Communications.

The venue “TOKI MESSE” is located on the waterfront of Niigata city, which is the largest city along

the Japan Sea side and is surrounded by Japan’s longest river, the Shinano River, and the Agano River.

Niigata is rich in food including delicious rice, a variety of locally brewed Sake (Japanese rice wine), fresh

seafood and various agricultural products. So you can enjoy ISAP in Niigata with a relaxed atmosphere and

excellent food. The social program includes popular tourist attractions such as visits to the Northern

Culture Museum, the Shirone Giant Kite Museum. Also, Sado Island is full of natural beauty and historic

monuments and was the island of exile and gold mine in the ancient and middle ages. A dressing school in

Yukata will also be held in Venue, where participants will learn how to wear a Yukata and will receive a

Yukata, an obi (belt) and a pair of geta (wooden clogs) as a souvenir. In the technical tour, you can visit

Niitsu Rollingstock Manufacturing.

With an interesting scientific program arranged by TPC, an excellent conference organization and

hospitality from the local organizing committee including students volunteers, the members of the steering

committee and I are looking forward to welcoming you to ISAP2007 Niigata.

Abstract : As antenna designers, our job is very challenging, since we are always asked to push the frontiers by developing antennas that fit in smaller and smaller spaces to cope with the perennial demand toward miniaturization of new wireless devices and sensors, with applications in WiMAX, UWB, MIMO and RFID systems. And yet, even as we strive to shrink the size of an antenna, we are asked to do so without compromising its gain, wide bandwidth and linear phase response, etc. The course will begin by discussing some recent trends in small antenna design for some of the popular applications mentioned above. It will review a number of ongoing developments at various centers around the world engaged in the development of communication and UWB antennas as well of RFID sensors. State-of-the-art design solutions for practical applications will be presented, and practical issues such as integration of small antennas into laptops will be discussed. Next, the course will discuss the topic of performance enhancement of antennas, including bandwidth enhancement; realization of high directivity, etc., using novel materials such as Electronic Band Gap (EBG) structures and Metamaterials, which may have single or double-negative refractive indices.

Short Course B SAR polarimetry and Interferometry

Lecturer Wolfgang-Martin Boerner, UIC-ECE Communications, Sensing & Navigation Laboratory, USA

Time 14:00 to 17:00, Monday, 20 August Room 301B

Abstract: The development of Radar Polarimetry and Radar Interferometry is advancing rapidly, and these novel radar technologies are revamping “Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging” decisively. In this exposition the successive advancements are sketched; beginning with the fundamental formulations and high-lighting the salient points of these diverse remote sensing techniques. Whereas with radar polarimetry the textural finestructure, target-orientation and shape, symmetries and material constituents can be recovered with considerable improvements above that of standard ’amplitude-only Polarization Radar’; with radar interferometry the spatial (in depth) structure can be explored. In ‘Polarimetric-Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (POL-IN-SAR) Imaging’ it is possible to recover such co-registered textural plus spatial properties simultaneously. This includes the extraction of ‘Digital Elevation Maps (DEM)’ from either ‘fully Polarimetric (scattering matrix)’ or ‘Interferometric (dual antenna) SAR image data takes’ with the additional benefit of obtaining co-registered three-dimensional ‘POL-IN-DEM’ information. Extra-Wide-Band POL-IN-SAR Imaging - when applied to ‘Repeat-Pass Image Overlay Interferometry’ - provides differential background validation and measurement, stress assessment, and environmental stress-change monitoring capabilities with hitherto unattained accuracy, which are essential tools for improved global biomass estimation. More recently, by applying multiple parallel repeat-pass EWB-POL-D(RP)-IN-SAR imaging along stacked (altitudinal) or displaced (horizontal) flight-lines will result in ‘Tomographic (Multi-Interferometric) Polarimetric SAR Stereo-Imaging’, including foliage and ground penetrating capabilities. It is shown that the accelerated advancement of these modern ‘EWB-POL-D(RP)-IN-SAR’ imaging techniques is of direct relevance and of paramount priority to wide-area dynamic homeland security surveillance and local-to-global environmental ground-truth measurement and validation, stress assessment, and stresschange monitoring of the terrestrial and planetary covers. In addition, various closely related topics of (i) acquiring additional and protecting existing spectral windows of the “Natural Electromagnetic Spectrum (NES)” pertinent to Remote Sensing; (ii) mitigating against common “Radio Frequency Interference (RFI)” and intentional “Directive Jamming of Airborne & Space borne POL-IN-SAR Imaging Platforms” are appraised.

Short Course C Reverberation Chamber for Characterizing Antennas and Mobile Terminals under Rayleigh Fading: Efficiency, TRP, TIS, AFS, diversity, MIMO, UWB

Lecturer Per-Simon Kildal, Antenna Group, Department of Signals and Systems Chalmers University of Technology, SW

Time 14:00 to 17:00, Monday, 20 August Room 302A

Abstract : The reverberation chamber has for many years found application in the EMC area. Recently, we have shown that it with great advantage can be used also for antenna measurements as it simulates effectively a uniform multi-path propagation environment. The course will give the basic theory of reverberation chambers, and show how the chamber can used to measure radiation efficiency, free space radiation impedance, and diversity gain of antennas; total radiated power and receiver sensitivity of mobile phones and other wireless or mobile terminals (GSM, CDMA, DECT, Bluetooth, UMTS); and channel capacity of MIMO antenna systems. The chamber is the only known measurement instrument for measuring diversity gain and channel capacity; the alternative being to drive measurement instruments around in an actual urban environment. A major advantage with this new measurement method is that the measurements fast and easily can be performed when the antenna or phone is located in different talk positions relative to a head phantom or other environments. Special emphasis will be directed towards fast and accurate measurements of static and dynamic receiver sensitivities, known as Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) and Average Fading Sensitivity (AFS), respectively. Reverberation chambers for EMC applications are normally very large, but we will show that for measurements at 900 MHz and above it is possible to use a small chamber that can pass through a 80 cm wide door. The course is based on recent both published and unpublished material related to extensive measurements in both large and small reverberation chambers. The course will include discussion of results measured on actual mobile phones and Bluetooth modules. Copies of slide presentations and journal articles will be provided in electronic format. The reverberation chamber with antenna measurement procedures have been commercialized by the company Bluetest AB (www.bluetest.se).

Short Course D MIMO Propagation Channel Theory and Modeling Lecturer Yoshio Karasawa, Univ. Electro-Comms, JP Time 14:00 to 17:00, Monday, 20 August Room 302B

Abstract : This course provides an overview of recent studies on MIMO propagation theory and modeling for wideband communication systems. First, focusing on angular spread of multipath waves, wave propagation environments in mobile radio systems are discussed. A propagation channel representation of MIMO is then presented with respect to narrowband and wideband systems, and the critical role of the eigenvalue in the correlation matrix is discussed. The statistical characteristics of eigenvalues in MIMO channels are clarified by addressing cases in which the correlation between branches can be ignored and those in which it must be taken into consideration. A useful propagation simulation model called Kronecker model is also introduced. For extending an existing MIMO system to an isolated area, a MIMO repeater system becomes inevitable. For designing such a system, a multi-keyhole propagation channel model is necessary, and the model is introduced. For realizing high capacity with compact antenna system, use of multiple polarizations is promising. Channel models for dual- and tri-polarization antennas are also discussed. Finally, various MIMO transmission systems, such as STBC data transmission scheme, subband signal processing adaptive array, MIMO OFDM system, and systems robust to fast fading, are discussed from a propagation viewpoint.
