資料8-ECommission E (Electromagnetic Noise and Interference) Activity Report
October 2011 - October 2012
Domestic academic activities:
1. Commission E had 11 regular technical meetings and one “Young Scientists Meeting” in the
period of October 2011 to October 2012 in corporation with the Technical Committee on
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMCJ) of the Institute of Electronics, Information andCommunication Engineers (IEICE), comprising 162 presentations in total. Three of the meetings,Dec. 2011, June and Dec. 2012, were co-sponsored by the Technical Committee on EMC of theInstitute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJ TC-EMC). Selected special topics for themonthly meetings were EMC issues related to Discharge, Transmission line, Power electronics,
Biomedical, Communication, Broadcasting, Simulation technology, etc.

Standpoint"(3) Prof. Masahito Shoyama, "Noise Reduction Techniques in Power Electronics Circuits"(4) Prof. Hiroshi Inoue, "Research on EMC Problem around PCB and Electrical Contact"(5) Prof. Isamu Nagano, "EMC and EMI technologies for wave measurements by rockets andsatellites"(6) Prof. Nobuo Kuwabara, "Application of Optical Fiber Telecommunication Technology toEMC Measurement"(7) Prof. Tomoo Ushio, "Lightning and Thunderstorm Observation with High Resolution"(8) Prof. Jianqing Wang, "Study on Exposure System for Biological Effect Test of RadioWave"(9) Prof. Toshio Nojima, "A comprehensive overview of the RF-EMC in the echoic livingenvironment"(10) Prof. Kunio Sawaya, "Radiation Mechanism and Visualization of Electromagnetic Wave"
To commemorate the founder of EMCJ technical group Emeritus Professor Risaburo Sato, who
passed away on 12 April 2011, a Memorial Symposium was held in Sendai on 28 Oct. 2011 andthree memorial speeches were given.

The Technical Committee on EMC of the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan (IEEJTC-EMC) had four technical meetings in a year, including three co-sponsored by EMCJ, andnow operating four ad hoc Investigating R&D Committees, viz. (1) on guidelines for biologicalprotection from EM fields and its EMC evaluation, (2) on EM analysis technologies including
those on biological tissues, (3) on EM noise characteristics associated with discharge, and (4) onEMC related to Smart Grid. A new ad hoc technical committee on electric system security wasfounded in March 2012. http://www1a.comm.eng.osaka-u.ac.jp/IEEJ-TC-EMC/
