Primer almuerzo de camaradería del 2025 Hola a toda la comunidad de los Life Members, sección Argentina. Tenemos novedades sobre nuestra sección, y eventos en los próximos días. En primer lugar, las novedades: como deben saber, recientemente hemos tenido elecciones de autoridades para el período 2025-2026, y por lo tanto tenemos una nueva Comisión Directiva. Esta está compuesta por Alejandro Alemañy, Secretario/Tesorero; Alex Pasika, Vicepresidente; y el que suscribe, Patricio Castro, como Presidente. La gestión de Gustavo del Pino en la presidencia pasada nos ha dejado la vara bien alta, y nuestro objetivo es tratar de estar a la altura del desafío. Tenemos la intención de continuar con una agenda de eventos profesionales, en forma mixta (presencial y virtual) para facilitar la participación de aquellos miembros del interior y colegas de otras secciones, pero enfatizando en lo presencial cuando sea posible. Desde luego, planeamos seguir con los tradicionales almuerzos de camaradería que nos han permitido mantener un vínculo social además del profesional. Y nos proponemos también realizar este año al menos una visita a un organismo/institución de interés para nuestros miembros; aprovechamos esta oportunidad para escuchar propuestas y sugerencias que pudieran tener para una visita así, tal vez en el segundo semestre del año. Pueden dirigir las mismas a mi correo, [email protected] y al de Alex, [email protected] . Y ahora, el evento: vamos a organizar el primer almuerzo de camaradería del año, e intentando dar continuidad a algo que ya se ha convertido en una tradición de la Sección, proponemos encontrarnos en el Palacio Paz, Av. Santa Fe 750, el próximo miércoles 14 de mayo a las 13 horas. Como en anteriores ocasiones, el menú será a la carta y tendrá un costo para cada comensal de $18.000; el saldo estará a cargo de LMAG AR. Como debemos realizar las reservas correspondientes, les pedimos que nos confirmen su asistencia a más tardar el viernes 9 de mayo, a los mismos correos electrónicos indicados más arriba. Esperamos tener una amplia participación, y poder vernos el próximo miércoles 14. Allí aprovecharemos para comentar algunas ideas que tenemos acerca de nuestra agenda. Un saludo cordial, Patricio Castro, Presidente Alex Pasika, Vicepresidente Alejandro Alemañy, Tesorero Agenda: Miércoles 14 de mayo de 2025, 13:00 a 14:30 AR (UTC-3) Palacio Paz, Restaurante Croque Madame, Av.

[] Inscription Form / Formulario de Inscripción: https://forms.gle/it8ryY62F3wbB3vdA INTER-SOCIETY DISTINGUISHED LECTURER WORKSHOP May 14, 2025 Salón del Consejo Directivo 2:00 PM Facultad de Ingeniería, UBA OPENING Welcome Message Prof. Alejandro Martínez (Dean FIUBA) Event Introduction Prof. Gustavo Fano – Prof. Ramón López La Valle – IEEE Student Branch of FIUBA TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS From Engineering Electromagnetics to Electromagnetic Engineering: Teaching/Training Next Generations Prof. Levent Sevgi (Istanbul Technical University, IEEE AP-S DLC Chair, Founding Chair EMC TÜRKİYE) The role of Electromagnetic (EM) fields in our lives has been increasing. Communication, remote sensing, integrated command/control/surveillance systems, intelligent transportation systems, medicine, environment, education, marketing, and defense are only a few areas where EM fields have critical importance. We have witnessed the transformation from Engineering Electromagnetics to Electromagnetic Engineering for the last few decades after being surrounded by EM waves everywhere. Among many others, EM engineering deals with broad range of problems from antenna design to EM scattering, indoor–outdoor radiowave propagation to wireless communication, radar systems to integrated surveillance, subsurface imaging to novel materials, EM compatibility to nano-systems, electroacoustic devices to electro-optical systems, etc. The range of the devices we use in our daily life has extended from DC up to Terahertz frequencies. We have had both large-scale (kilometers-wide) and small-scale (nanometers) EM systems. A large portion of these systems are broadband and digital and must operate in close proximity that results in severe EM interference problems. Engineers must take EM issues into account from the earliest possible design stages. This necessitates establishing an intelligent balance between strong mathematical background (theory), engineering experience (practice), and modeling and numerical computations (simulation). This Distinguished/keynote lecture aims at a broad-brush look at current complex EM problems as well as certain teaching / training challenges that confront wave-oriented EM engineering in the 21st century, in a complex computer and technology-driven world with rapidly shifting societal and technical priorities. Maritime Multi-Sensor Integrated Surveillance Systems Based on Surface Wave High Frequency Radars Prof. Levent Sevgi (Istanbul Technical University, IEEE AP-S DLC Chair) Countries with substantial coastal regions require greatly enhanced systems to monitor activity occurring within their Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ). According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) of 992, participating countries have extensive exploitation rights within the EEZ, which extends up to 200 nautical miles (nm) from shore. Activity will include isolated or grouped, moving and/or anchored surface targets and low-flying aircraft. The targets may be military/commercial, friend/foe, small/large. Besides the economic benefits, a participating country carries responsibilities such as prevention of smuggling, terrorism and piracy; the effective management and protection of offshore fisheries; search and rescue, vessel traffic services, pollutant control as well as meteorological and oceanographic data collection. Traditional land-based microwave radars are limited to line-of-sight, which means a maximum range of 50-60km even with an elevated radar platform. The EEZ can be covered by microwave radar in a patrol aircraft, but requires three to five aircraft (well above 20,000ft) with many hours on station. Satellites have neither the spatial nor the temporal resolution to provide this surveillance in real-time. Sky wave high frequency (HF) radars can be used for this purpose, but they need large installations, are expensive and detection of surface targets is still limited. Optimum sensor for EEZ surveillance seems to be the Surface Wave HF radar. This DL/Keynote talk is about modeling and simulation strategies and challenges in integrated maritime surveillance systems based on High Frequency Surface Wave Radars (HFSWR). Topics to be covered include fundamental radar concepts, HFSWR signal characteristics (signal, noise, clutter, interference, etc.), Surface wave propagation modeling and mixed-path effects, Transmit/Receive Antenna systems and beam forming/steering, Target reflectivity and RCS prediction/reduction, and Stochastic modeling.
