Japan Long Tern Visit: Spectrum Management Policy and DSP Applications

该奖项将支持美国联邦通信委员会计划与政策办公室的Michael J. Marcus博士进行为期六个月的访问，与Takeshi Hiromatsu教授开展合作项目。东京大学先进科学技术研究中心（RCAST）信息技术与社会相关性实验室主席。该项目还将与东京大学弘古校区电气工程系的齐藤忠雄教授以及位于东京小金井市的邮电部通信研究实验室合作。Marcus博士的研究将包括对日本无线电频谱管理政策的研究，因为它与技术创新有关。他在MPT的联合研究将包括数字信号处理技术在发射机识别中的应用。包括美国在内的所有国家都面临着如何规范无线电技术以促进公共利益和控制无线电系统用户之间的干扰的共同问题。日本人发展了一套独特的政府和非政府组织体系来完成这项任务，这在英国文献中从未有过详细的记载。这个项目将记录这些组织之间的相互关系以及它们对技术创新的影响。会议将与来自工业界、学术界和政府的不同人士举行。获得的关于日本无线电技术监管的知识将有助于美国考虑某些方面是否可能对美国有利。这些知识也将有助于考虑是否在日本市场销售新技术的美国公司。此外，它将有助于美国政府支持寻求国际贸易公平的谈判。上面提到的合作者在他们的数字信号处理领域都是知名和受人尊敬的。相信这些人之间的合作将在本奖项正式终止后继续下去。

This award will support a six month visit by Dr. Michael J. Marcus, Office of Plans and Policy, U.S. Federal Communications Commission to carry out a collaborative project with Professor Takeshi Hiromatsu, Chair of the Laboratory on Correlation of Information Technology and Society at the University of Tokyo's Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST). The project will also involve cooperation with Professor Tadao Saito of the University's Electrical Engineering Department at the Hongo campus and also the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications' (MPT) Communication Research Laboratory in Koganei-shi, Tokyo. Dr. Marcus' research will include a study of Japanese radio spectrum management policy as it relates to technical innovation. His joint research at MPT will include the application of digital signal processing technology to transmitter identification. All countries, including the U.S., are faced with the common problem of how to regulate radio technology to further public interests and control interference between radio systems users. The Japanese have developed a unique system of governmental and nongovernmental organizations to accomplish this task which has never been documented in detail in the English literature. This project will document the interrelationships between these organizations and the impact that these have on technical innovation. Meetings will be held with the various individuals involved from industry, academia and government. The knowledge acquired on the Japanese regulation of radio technology will facilitate U.S. consideration of whether certain aspects might be of benefit in the U.S. Such knowledge will also be helpful to U.S. firms which are considering whether to market new technology in the Japanese market. Additionally, it will be helpful to the U.S. Government in support of negotiations seeking equity in international trade. All of the individuals named above as collaborators are well-known and respected in their area of digital signal processing. It is believed that collaboration between these individuals will continue well past the formal termination of this award.
