EMC 2005THE VI TH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ELECTROMAGNETICCOMPATIBILITY AND ELECTROMAGNETIC ECOLOGYSt - Petersburg, Russia, 21 - 24 June 2005The VI th International Symposium on ElectromagneticCompatibility and Electromagnetic Ecology (EMC-2005)was held from 21 to 24 June 2005 at the St - Peterburg StateElectrotechnical University “LETI”, Russia. The meetingwas attended by 152 participants (103 Russian and 49foreign scientists) from 21 countries.As in the preceeding years, the Symposium wassponsored by the Institute of Electrical and ElectronicsEngineers (IEEE), the IEEE Electromagnetic CompatibilitySociety (EMS-society), the International Union of RadioScience (URSI) and the Research-and-production Enterprise“Proryv” (official Partner of the Symposium) and has beenjointly organized by the St - Petersburg State University“LETI”, the St - Petersburg Scientific and Technical Societyof Radio Engineering, Electronics and Communication(named after A.S.Popov), the Leningrad Radio Researchand Development Institute and Discone-Centre Ltd., inCooperation with the Federal Agency for Education, theMinistry of Information Technologies and Communicationsof the Russian Federation, the Russian Academy of Sciences,the Users Association of Natural Radio-Frequency, theResource-National Radioassociation, the St-Petersburg StatePolytechnical University, the St- Petersburg State Universityof Telecommunications (named after M.A. Bonch-Bruevich), the St-Petersburg State Maritime TechnicalUniversity, the Moscow Technical University ofCommunication and Information Science, theRadiofrequency Centre of the North-West Federal District,the Research Institute of Radio, the Research Institute ofPulse Engineering, the Research Test Centre for EMC, theResearch-and-production Enterprise “Proryv”, the KedahElectronics Engineering, the IEEE Russian (North-West)Section, the Russian Branch of IEEE “Engineeringmanagementand the Elemcom Ltd.Prof. M. Ianoz acted as Symposium Vice-President.The Technical Program Committee was chaired by Prof.N.Korovkin from the St-Petersburg State PolytechnicalUniversity and the Scientific Secretary of the Symposiumconsisted of Dr. S. Shostakovich, General Director ofDiscone-Centre Ltd., Dr. P. Asovich and Dr. V. Gutin.A number of international and national professionalorganizations (e.g. IEEE, EMC-society, and URSI)cooperated at the EMC 2005 meeting. As in the past URSICommissions E sponsored 15 students from Russia andforeign countries.A total of 174 carefully selected technical papers werepresented in 10 sessions devoted to: EMC of ElectricalPower Equipment, Spectrum Management and Monitoring,Biological Effects of electromagnetic (EM) Field, NaturalEM Radiations, Sources and Influence, Antennas andPropagation, EMC Related to PCB’s and ElectronicComponents, EMC Monitoring Measurements,Certification, Test Equipment, Electromagnetic Interactionand Shielding, Radio Electronic Equipment design withregard to EMC, EMC in Radio Communication Systems,and Workshop “Shipbord EMC”. The full text of thepresentations has been made available in the symposiumproceedings and on a CD-ROM.The emphasis of the Symposium was on the field of EMCMonitoring, active diagnostics, measurements, certificationand biological effects of Electromagnetic Fields, anestimation of the influence of external ElectromagneticFields on the measuring accuracy, a design of measuringdevices and an immunity test simulationfor conductiveinterferences.The EMC Symposium was introduced by threelectures, devoted to the latest achievements of science andengineering. Especially, the lectures from Prof. M.Ianozand Prof. M.Korovkin, “Progress in the PLC developmentduring the years 2003-2004” and from Prof. Yu.G.Grigoryev“Electromagnetic fields of mobile radio communicationand hazard estimation for the Population” were a greatsuccess.As usual, the Technical Exhibition has significantlycontributed to the success of the VI-th InternationalSymposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility andElectromagnetic Ecology (EMC-2005) by demonstratingthe fast conversion of theoretical knowledge into state-oftheart hardware and software.The traditional inquiry returned some very interestingsuggestions for the next EMC-2007, which is planned forJune, 2007 and will be held in St-Petersburg. The call forpapers of the VII-th International Symposium onElectromagnetic Compatibility and ElectromagneticEcology and Technical Exhibition on EMC is scheduled forMarch, 2007.In the Autumn of 2006 St-Peterburg StateElectrotechnical University “LETI” celebrates his 120thanniversary ! The EMC - 2007 will be one of the severalevents under the umbrella of this anniversary.Professor V. Larkinalarkina@izmiran.ru80TheRadio Science Bulletin No 313 (June, 2005)
