NJ Communications Chapter:
Next Generation Converged Network Architecture and Applications
On
Tuesday, October 16, 2007, the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications
Society along with the NJIT Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
will host a presentation titled “Next Generation Converged Network Architecture
and Applications” by Dr. Amit Mukhopadhyay and Carlos Urrutia-Valdés.
About
the Talk
Service providers around the world are either already deploying or planning to deploy the IP Multimedia Sub-system (IMS) in their networks. IMS will allow the delivery of new multimedia applications aimed at enhancing the user’s experience. So now that IMS is becoming a reality, what is next for “Next Generation Networks”?
In this talk, we will provide an overview of what lies beyond IMS and introduce a new set of services referred to as “blended services” which are created by providing seamless service control across multiple network domains. The role of IMS within the evolving area of Service Delivery Platforms and for the enablement of wireless and wireline convergence will also be examined. Sample services, architectures and call flows will be presented.

NJ Communications Chapter:
Mobile TV and 3G Multicast
On
Tuesday, October 30, 2007, the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications
Society along with the NJIT Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
will host a presentation titled “Mobile TV and 3G Multicast” by Dr. Katherine
Guo.
About
the Talk
With the deployment of wide area wireless networks such as CDMA2000 1xEv-DO and UMTS HSPDA providing data rates close to wireline broadband connections, and with the unprecedented increase in mobile device capability, the mobile Internet is beginning to enable on-demand multimedia services anywhere anytime. Services like live TV, news summary, sports highlight, local traffic and weather reports are currently being delivered efficiently to mobile users using unicast channels. However, as subscribers increase with time, unicast is highly inefficient. Broadcast multicast services are the scalable solution to providing video services over 3G wireless networks. In the first half of the talk, an overview of the 3G broadcast multicast architecture will be presented.
Multicast scheduling in this context is challenging: there is no endpoint feedback mechanism, and the default schemes transmit data at a fixed rate assuming there is always a user at the edge of the cell. This conservative approach significantly limits throughput for users close to the base station. In the second half of the talk, a set of new multicast scheduling algorithms that offer proportional fairness property among groups and among users will be discussed.

NJ Computer and EMS Chapters:
Open Source Software for EE’s and Project Managers
On
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007, the IEEE North Jersey Section Computer Society and
Engineering Management Chapters will host a presentation titled “Open Source
Software for EE’s and Project Managers” by Frank Middleton.
About
the Talk
As many EEs and project managers consider Open Source Software (OSS) solutions as an alternative to proprietary products, the inevitable question arises as to whether or not OSS can meet their needs.
In the relatively short duration of a meeting such as this, it is impossible to give a comprehensive answer to this question, but it is possible to introduce EEs and project managers to the process of investigating these solutions and determining their own answers. Prospective attendees who have specific questions are welcome to submit them ahead of time to the speaker (by email, please, to f.middleton “AT” apogeect.com).
Very small low cost platforms like the Gumstix (Open Source Hardware) run on OSS such as Gnu/Linux. Is there any benefit to using OSS for the entire development chain, from gathering and managing requirements, through architecture, hardware/software design, and implementation, as well as project planning? OSS tools that address all of these areas and more, will be discussed and briefly demonstrated as time allows, including an OSS EDA tool and a newly debuted OSS project planning application. We will also give some reasons you may not have thought of for using OSS. The ease of deploying and maintaining current versions of these tools will also be covered, and as a result attendees will have a basis for understanding what would be involved in using OSS for electronics engineering and project management.

NJ EDS/C&S & MTT-S/AP-S Chapters:
Design of RF-CMOS Integrated Circuits for Wireless Communications
On
October 4, 2007, the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems
Chapters together with MTT/S/AP-S will host a talk on “Design of RF-CMOS
Integrated Circuits for Wireless Communications." This talk will be part of the MTT 22nd Annual
Symposium and Mini-Show. The speaker
will be Dr. Ing. Georg Boeck.
About
the Talk
The
continuous progress of silicon technology has enabled the emergence of digital
mobile broadband communication systems for voice, data, multimedia and position
with good quality of service. Data-rate and mobility trade-offs, different
standards like 2G, 3G, Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS and digital multimedia broadcasting
are leading to multimode requirements. Issues concerning coexistence and
inter-working of these different technologies have to be solved. Single chip integration with digital part,
high integration density and excellent RF-performance, low power consumption
and low cost under mass production aspects are further requirements. First system-on-chip (SoC) demonstrations
show that today CMOS technologies seem to be able to fulfill all these
requirements.
This
lecture will review RF-CMOS technologies, RF-architectures and
re-configurability principles as well as circuit and system design aspects for
mobile multi-mode communication applications.
It will consider special requirements on wafer processes like leakage
and analogue and RF capabilities and will look to the world of system-level
design. In this context, power-levels,
form factors and cost are key requirements for system-in-package and
system-on-chip solutions. Of course, new
challenges for the future will be considered and explored, too.

NJ EDS/C&S Chapters:
A New Low Frequency Noise Model for Multi-Stack Gate MOSFETs
On
November 14, 2007, the IEEE NJ Section Electron Devices, Circuits and Systems
Chapters together with the New Jersey Institute of Technology will host a talk
on “A New Low Frequency Noise Model for Multi-Stack Gate MOSFETs." The speaker will be an EDS Distinguished
Lecturer, Dr. Zeynep Çelik-Butler.
About
the Talk
In
MOSFETs, high dielectric constant (high-k) materials are developed as possible
replacements for SiO2 as the gate dielectric.
Although these materials do overcome the issue of gate leakage current
due to increased dielectric thickness for a given equivalent dielectric
capacitance, several other problems arise.
The talk will cover noise and mobility degradation issues in high-k gate
stacks.
A
new unified noise model will be presented that accurately predicts the
low-frequency noise spectrum exhibited by MOSFETs with high-k, multi-stack gate
dielectrics. The proposed multi-stack
unified noise (MSUN) model is based on number and correlated mobility
fluctuations theory developed for native oxide MOSFETs, and offers scalability
with respect to the high-k/interfacial layer thicknesses. In addition, it incorporates the various
electronic properties of high-k/ interfacial layer materials such as energy
barrier heights between different gate layers, and dielectric trap density
distribution with respect to band energy and position in the dielectric. For verification of the new model, the low
frequency noise, DC and conventional split C-V measurements were performed in
the 78-350 K temperature range on HfO2 n-channel MOSFETs. Using the experimental noise data, the
channel carrier number fluctuations mechanism was at first established to be
the underlying mechanism responsible for the noise observed at all temperatures
considered. Secondly, the normalized
noise exhibited a weak dependence on temperature implying that the soft optical
phonons, although known to result in mobility degradation, have no effect on
the noise characteristics in these high-k gate stack MOSFETs. Finally, the new model was shown to be in
excellent agreement with the measured noise in 1-100 Hz frequency range at
temperatures of 78-350 K for the gate stacks studied.

NJ MTT-S/AP-S Ch:
Non-Foster Matching of Electrically-Small Antennas: Theory and Experimental Results
On
October 17, 2007, the IEEE NJ Section MTT/S/AP-S along with NJIT will host a
talk on “Non-Foster Matching of Electrically-Small Antennas: Theory and Experimental Results." The speaker will be Dr. Stephen E.
Sussman-Fort.
About
the Talk
Electrically-small
antennas cannot be efficiently impedance-matched over any significant frequency
band because of the gain-bandwidth restrictions which arise from the difficult
impedances that such antennas present.
Non-Foster matching bypasses this fundamental restriction by employing
negative reactive elements, realized by means of negative impedance converters
(NICs). For receive applications, which
is the focus of this talk, non-Foster matching results in great improvement in
signal-to-noise ratio as compared to optimal passive matching applied to the
same electrically-small antenna. For
transmit applications, non-Foster matching yields great improvement in power
efficiency as compared to optimal passive matching applied to the same
electrically-small antenna.
After
a discussion of the basic ideas of non-Foster matching, NICs, circuit stability
and some early work only now available in the public domain, we present our
experimental results and antennas-range measurements. In our first experiment, we use a floating
negative capacitor to cancel a substantial portion of the reactance of a
6" monopole antenna. Over 20-110
MHz, the signal-to-noise ratio improved by up to 9dB as compared to the same
antenna with no matching, Because of the high-Q of the antennas, no matching is
actually a viable choice among the best possible passive wideband matching networks
that can be designed. A 12” dipole
version of the antenna yielded up to 20dB S/N improvement over 20 – 120 MHz.
In
our second experiment, we extended the frequency range over which non-Foster
matching may be applied. In particular,
we use non-Foster techniques to impedance match a lossy electrically-small
dipole antenna. On the antenna range, we
measured up to 30 dB gain improvement over 60 – 200 MHz with several dB of
improvement as high as 400 MHz. Again,
the comparison was to the same antenna with no matching at all. Although no S/N measurements were made, the
circuits we used were based upon the same low-noise designs developed earlier
for our lower-frequency circuits.
Because of the lossiness of the antenna, passive matching can do a little
better than no matching at all, and these results are illustrated in
simulation.

About
the Talk
Technology
that can be used to unobtrusively detect and monitor the presence of human
subjects from a distance and through barriers can be a powerful tool for law
enforcement, military, and health monitoring applications. Various technologies
from passive millimeter-wave imaging to ultra wideband radar have demonstrated
potential for identifying silhouettes, detecting gross motion, and even
distinguishing illicit materials and biological characteristics through various
obstructions. Compact radar solutions have been used to detect and monitor
cardiopulmonary activity of hidden stationary subjects, in some cases
leveraging the presence of ambient radio signals to provide a virtually passive
means to detect, isolate, and physiologically monitor human subjects through
walls.
Practical
applications ranging from counter-terrorism to outpatient monitoring require
solutions that are accurate, affordable, easily deployed, and minimally tended.
An overview of current research efforts addressing these challenges through
radio, signal processing, and sensor networking theory and hardware will be
presented.

On
Tuesday, October 23, 2007, the NJ Systems, Man & Cybernetics (SMC) Chapter
will be hosting a seminar at NJIT on the topic noted above. Dr. Haibo He, a Stevens Institute of
Technology faculty member, will be the presenter.
About
the Talk
With
the recent development of brain research and modern technologies, scientists
and engineers will hopefully find efficient ways to build brain-like
intelligent systems that are highly robust, adaptive, and fault tolerant to
uncertain environments. Yet, building
such complex intelligent systems requires serious research on both the
fundamental understanding of intelligent behavior and biologically-inspired
intelligent mechanisms. This seminar
covers different aspects of algorithms, models and architectures for
self-adaptive learning, with a focus on memory and anticipation
mechanisms. This research provides new
understandings about how to design intelligent systems that are able to learn
information with ambiguity, make associations, accumulate knowledge, and
interact with the environment in real time to accomplish desired goals. Various applications including
classification, image recovery, and sequence learning will be presented. Future research directions and challenges in
this field will also be discussed.

Statistical Model for Digital Image Forensics
On
October 4, 2007, the IEEE North Jersey Section Signal Processing Chapter along
with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of NJIT will host a
talk on “Statistical Model for Digital Image Forensics.” The speaker will be Dr. Yun Q. Shi.
About
the Talk
In
this talk, the role of statistical model played in digital image forensics is
addressed. First, its role played in
image steganalysis is described. Some
typical examples are presented. Then,
the talk moves from image steganalysis to image splicing (a fundamental form of
tampering) detection. The difference and
relationship between steganalysis and splicing detection is discussed. Along this line, a recently developed
advanced statistical model of natural images learned from steganalysis and its
successful performance in splicing detection are presented. The often confused term “model” is further
discussed by pointing out the difference between the image model used for image
compression and the statistical model developed for image forensics. Finally, statistical models used for
detecting JPEG (double) compression are briefly introduced.

NJ VTS Chapter:
Introduction to Smart Antennas
On
October 18, 2007, the IEEE North Jersey Section Vehicular Technology Society
Chapter will host a talk on smart antenna applications to wireless
communication. The speaker will be Dr.
Robert Soni of Alcatel-Lucent.
About
the Talk
The
use of cellular voice and data communication has exploded in the past 15
years. As the minutes of use have grown,
cellular operators have searched and investigated many different techniques to
improve capacity, quality, and coverage without requiring new spectrum. Smart antennas have been proposed for many
years as a method to maximize the utilization of this scarce resource. Now, almost 15 years after they were first
proposed for this application, they are being deployed for commercial cellular
3G systems.
While
viewed as an add-on for 3G systems, they are assumed to be available in the
first deployments for 4G systems. In
this talk, there will be a tutorial discussion of the use of smart antennas in
3G and 4G systems. The relationship of
smart antenna systems to MIMO (multiple-input/multiple-output) antenna systems
will be explained and the relative benefits of each system will be
discussed. The talk will also cover some
recent results from Alcatel-Lucent's efforts to commercialize smart antennas
for CDMA2000 with its two largest customers in North America. Practical deployment issues and performance
benefit will be discussed.
About
the Speaker
Robert
Soni graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a BSEE (Summa cum Laude)
in 1992. He received his MSEE in 1995
and PhD in 1998, both from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Dr. Soni joined Lucent Technologies - Bell
Laboratories in 1998 and is currently a Technical Manager in the Wireless
Business Group of Alcatel-Lucent. He and
his team are responsible for providing advanced technology at the physical
layer and medium access (MAC) layer for CDMA and OFDMA cellular systems. His group has been responsible for the
commercialization of "smart" or Intelligent and MIMO antenna
subsystems for cellular base-stations for CDMA2000, UMTS R99, HSDPA, HSUPA, and

2007-2008 Student Activities Kickoff
Welcome
back to the beginning of a new year of student activities for the North Jersey
Section. This year promises to be filled
with new activities and events. We hope
you and your student branches will be participating in all of these events
throughout the 2007-2008 academic year.
Also, since the year is just getting started, it is a good time for a
refresher on what your branch must be doing to be recognized by the IEEE. Information about IEEE, student branch bylaws
and forms to fill out is available on the website given below.
My
name is Russell Pepe, and I plan to Chair the Student Activities Committee
(SAC) again this year. You can reach me
at the following e-mail address: northjerseysac “AT” ieee.org. I met several of you last year at and look
forward to working with all of you during the upcoming school year.
To
start off with, if you have not had elections yet, it would be a good idea to
hold them and report to IEEE with the officer election form. Also, coming up is a leadership workshop that
new (or potentially new) officers can attend to get essential training on
running a branch. Your branch should
fill out an annual plan of events in the fall and an annual report in the
spring. Part of the reporting is on
membership, which qualifies the branch for per member rebates. It's free money for turning in the right
forms by the right time. Speaking of
money, your branch should also plan fundraisers for basic expenses. If you really want to get started right, host
one of these leadership workshops to learn the basics. Contact the organizer below. So what's happening this year? Lots of things!! Details of the event's exact
location, date, time, directions, and registration will become available on the
SAC website below. Free Student
Leadership Training Workshops in and Professional Skills Development Workshop
will start up in the fall. Instead of
just holding single workshops, multiple individual workshops will be held at
each university who wishes to receive formal training at their local branch for
this and upcoming year's students. This
holds true for both the leadership and professional skills training. If you would like to host these events then
contact the organizer below. The annual
Paper Presentation Contest is also planned for mid February/early March. This is a chance for students to showcase
their hard work on different projects worked on during the year. It is open to both graduate and undergraduate
students.
Last,
but not least, the SAC and GOLD committees are looking for volunteers who might
be graduating soon and would like to help out in the North Jersey Section. To find out how you can help, contact
northjerseysac “AT” ieee.org , and visit the new website at http://ewh.ieee.org/r1/north_jersey/sac.
You will find the latest information updated there or you can also join the
mailing list to get regular reminders of different events.

the North Jersey Section website for newsletter information http://web.njit.edu/~ieeenj/
or contact Dr. Chandra Gupta, c.gupta “AT” ieee.org.
Want to Host a Leadership Workshop at Your Branch?
This
year, we want to bring the leadership workshop to your branch and hold it individually
at your school! The leadership workshop is a great way to educate your branch
members on some of the details of IEEE, their roles as students in IEEE, what
is happening in the section and region, how they can get involved, and most
importantly, training for new officers that were just elected or will be
elected in the future.
