Seminar on Radiocommunications
2006
Superstitious
would say that luckily 13th Radiocommunications seminar
has finished. We could add, very successfully.
The
seminar was held from 31 May to 2 June 2006 in the Mercurius
Congress Centre in Ljubljana. The main topic this year
was 'Terrestrial Communications on High Frequencies',
including wireless (satellite) systems, WiMAX and Thermography.

Report
RADIOCOMMUNICATIONS
2006
Ljubljana, Mercurius Congress Centre, 31 May-2 June 2006
The
first day of lectures started with a presentation of Mr.
Miran Kimovec. He introduced a new European Directive on
Data Retention. Silvester Staric then presented new radio
technologies. This lecture was a good introduction to the
lectures that have followed in the next few days. After
very interesting lecture of professor Jožko Budin, who introduced
thermal radiation and noises in radio communications, a
number of lectures about MMDS (Multipoint Microwave Distribution
System) were given.
In
the morning section of the second day we heard lectures
on WiMAX technology and its application in practice, test
results and economic efficiency. Mr. Bozo Misovic spoke
about HSxPA technology which will be intorduced by the end
of 2006. The afternoon section was intended for Thermography.
Mr. Nikolaj Trsan gave an introductory lecture. Mr. Trsan
is one of the leading experts on Thermovision in Slovenia.
After taht, short lectures from the application part of
Thermography (Industry and Construction, Transmission of
Electrical Energy, Medicine, the Army, the Police) were
given. In front of the Congress Centre a van equiped with
thermovision and other cameras was parked. The participants
could see a practical demonstration. After the lectures
we went to Lesce Airport, where the Flayom company has its
headquarters. Mr. Roman Bernard, CEO, showed us a helicopter
equipped with thermovision and other cameras. They use such
cameras for airborne inspections of power lines, gas lines
etc. We concluded this very exciting and tiring day with
a pleasant dinner at the Lectar restaurant in Radovljica.
The
third day of the seminar we started with the lecture by
Mr. Jim Boucher, who introduced the European Satellite Navigation
System GALILEO. His excellent lecture gave some new ideas
to the participants. More lectures about GPS in archeology,
DVB-H and 3G, finding faults with antennas on high-voltage
devices and Slovenian expressions in radio technique followed.
The last lecturer came from Mr. Mark Leckenby from Australia.
He spoke about a Precautionary Approach to Radio Communications
Deployment - a case study from Australia.
25
lecturers and some 140 audience members participated at
the Radiocommunications 2006 seminar.
We
should also express our gratitude to our sponsors and exhibitors
for their participation at the seminar. These include Telsima,
Mobitel, Flycom, Stelkom, Icomms, Siol, Dat-Con, Avektis,
Belmet and Kompas Telekomunikacije.
Many
thanks to all the participants, listeners, lecturers, sponsors,
exhibitors and everyone else who somehow participated in
the Radiocommunications 2006 seminar. See you all next year!
