COMMISSION DThis triennium report was prepared by Professor P. Russer,Commission D Chair 2002-<strong>2005</strong>.The growing importance of wireless and opticalcommunication technology coupled with the internet growthhas led to continued strong interest in the activities ofCommission D, “Electronics and Photonics”.Since electronic and photonic devices have reachedsystem level, the commission noted that this developmenthas to be considered in the terms of reference. At the 2002General Assembly it was resolved unanimously to changethe terms of reference in the following way:The first term of reference “Electronic devices andapplications” has been changed to “Electronic devices,circuits and applications” and the second term of reference“Photonic devices and applications” has ben changed to“Photonic devices, systems and applications”.Commission D has continued the successful policy ofproviding technical co-sponsorship to a number of meetingsof interest to Commission D while focusing financialsponsorship on the established International Symposiumon Signals Systems and Electronics, ISSSE, jointlysponsored with Commission C. For this triennium we alsoprovided financial sponsorship to the 2004 Asia-Pacific<strong>Radio</strong> <strong>Science</strong> Conference (AP-RASC’04).1. 2004 International Symposium onSignals, Systems and Electronics(ISSSE’04) in Linz, AustriaThe 6 th International Symposium on Signals, Systems,and Electronics, ISSSE 2004, was held in Linz, Austria onAugust 10-13, 2004. ISSSE is an international symposiumheld once every three years. This symposium is organizedand sponsored by the International Union of <strong>Radio</strong> <strong>Science</strong>(<strong>URSI</strong>), Commissions C and D. ISSSE 2004 was technicallyco-sponsored by the IEEE Microwave Theory andTechniques Society (MTT-S), the IEEE COM/MTT JointChapter Austria, the Austrian Electrotechnical Association(ÖVE), the German Association for Electrical, Electronic& Information Technologies (VDE), and co-sponsored bythe government of Upper Austria, the city of Linz, the LinzCenter of Mechatronics (LCM), the University of Applied<strong>Science</strong>s of Upper Austria, and the University of Linz.General Chairmen were Kurt Schlacher of the University ofLinz, Austria, and Robert Weigel of the University ofErlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. Technical ProgramChairmen were Andreas Springer of the University of Linz,Austria, and Gernot Kubin of the University of Graz,Austria. ISSSE 2004 provided a full 3-day program, whichwas composed of two keynote speeches, a large number ofregular sessions, poster sessions, and a tutorial on smartantennas and MIMO. The symposium proved to be aninspiring forum for discussions, exchange of ideas, and thepossibility to maintain and initiate fruitful networks betweenscientists and developers in the fields of signal- and systemtheory, electronic components, and communicationsengineering. After the review of nearly 130 submissions, 89were accepted for presentation. Authors came from morethan 20 countries, thereof 63% from Europe, 29% fromAsia, and 8% from North America. During the symposiumtwo best papers have been awarded. The winner of theISSSE’04 <strong>URSI</strong> commission C Best Paper Award is RonaldRaulefs from the German Aerospace Center inOberpfaffenhofen, Germany, for his paper entitled“Enhanced Detection Through Signal Space Diversity fora Coded MC-CDMA System”, while Jan-LouisSundermeyer from the Fraunhofer Institute for IntegratedCircuits IIS in Erlangen, Germany, received the ISSSE’04<strong>URSI</strong> commission D Best Paper Award for his paper “AnAlexander Half-Rate Phase Detector for 80 Gb/s”.

Hayakawa (Japan), A.P. Nickolaenko(Ukraine), Y. Hobara (France) and M. Füllekrug(Germany)E.2:Intentional Electromagnetic InterferenceCo-Chairs: M. Bäckström (Sweden) and W. Radasky(USA)E.3:High Power ElectromagneticsCo-chairs: C.E. Baum (USA) and R.L. Gardner (USA)E.4:Lightning Discharges and Related PhenomenaCo-chairs: Z. Kawasaki (Japan)E.5:Interaction with and Protection of, Complex ElectronicSystemsCo-chairs: J. Nitsch (Germany), P. Degauque (France)and J.P. Parmentier (France)E.6:Extra-Terrestrial and Terrestrial Meteorologic-ElectricEnvironmentChair: H. Kikuchi (Japan), E.A. Mareev (Russia)E.7:Geo-electromagnetic Disturbances and Their Effectson Technological SystemsChair: A. Viljanen (Finland)E.8: Interference and Noise at Frequencies above 30 MHzChair: J. Gavan (Israel)Joint Working GroupEGH. Seismo Electromagnetics (Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere Coupling)Co-Chair for Commission E: M. Hayakawa (Japan)Co-Chair for Commission G: S. Pulinet (Russia)Co-Chair for Commission H: M. Parrot (France) andO.A. Molchanov (Russia)During the EMC Zurich meeting in 2000, a discussiontook place on the role of these WGs and on a possiblechange of their role and on the way of conducting theiractivities. It appears that a majority of attendants was infavor of keeping a light structure and of leaving to the WGco-chairs the responsibility of developing the cooperationwithin their WG as they want to do.Most of the Commission E activities have thus beendevoted to the organization of meetings and conferencesand to the preparation of the New Delhi General assembly.In Europe, a debate and discussions between theorganizers of the main EMC European events took placeduring the triennium about the idea of merging or not fewmeetings. For the time being, there is no strong consensusand the number of national or European meetings remainsas it was.Furthermore it must be outlined that, within the EMCconferences, an increasing number of sessions were devotedThe<strong>Radio</strong> <strong>Science</strong> <strong>Bulletin</strong> No <strong>313</strong> (<strong>June</strong>, <strong>2005</strong>) 57
