DESCRIPTION:Prof. Jacob Gavan\, SCE - Shamoon College of Engineering\, Isr
 ael\nBio: Jacob Gavan earned the B.Sc. degree in the Technion Haifa 1961\,
  the  MEE in Eindhoven Technological University the Nederland\, both\, wi
 th distinction\, in 1969 using a scholarship of  Philips Ind. and  his P
 h.D. degree in radio communication in 1979 in ENSERG  Grenoble (France) w
 ith congratulations of the Jury. He worked as an ITU Expert from 1963 to 1
 967 & 1971 to 1974\, and held positions in the radio communication industr
 y in Israel. He was also an Adjunct Associate Professor in Microwaves and 
 Communication Systems at the  Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.\nJacob 
 Gavan was elected as IEEE fellow in 1995 and founded a department of Commu
 nication Engineering at the Holon Academic Institute of Technology (HAIT\,
  Israel). He was selected to Dean of the HAIT new school of Electrical\, E
 lectronic and Communication Engineering as Full Professor from December 20
 01 and elected as Dean from 1/10/03 for a two years period. Prof. Jacob Ga
 van leaded the establishment of a M.Sc program in Electronic and Communica
 tion Engineering which was approved by the council  of higher education i
 n Israel and include around 130 students most of them in Communication Eng
 ineering.\nHe was Consultant in radio communications systems especially on
  Radio mutual Interference and Radiation effects and RF up to millimeter w
 aves circuitry and systems  to several large Israeli and international co
 mpanies. He has published over 150 papers on theoretical and applied radio
  and Satellite communications\, electromagnetics\, and Radar Systems espec
 ially on Radio mutual Interference and Radiation effects. All shown in www
 .hait.ac.il staff\, "Jacob Gavan" CV and publications or in Google search 
 tool for Jacob (Jacques) Gavan.\nProfessor Jacob Gavan is active in the Un
 ion Radio Science International URSI Commission E and Chairman of E8 worki
 ng group on "Interference in Radio Systems above 30 MHz" and in General As
 sembly Session E/C/F "Interference in radio communication". He earned the 
 best paper award from the IEEE International Symposium on EMC.\, Santa Cla
 ra\, September 1982 and was associated editor of the Transactions on EMC f
 or several years. Recently Professor Jacob Gavan was elected as distinguis
 hed lecturer by the IEEE Communication society and as chairman of the stud
 ent activities by IEEE Israel. His biography is listed in the Internationa
 l Directory of Distinguished Leadership.\nThe long distances Microwave (MW
 ) Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) concepts will be presented.  This wil
 l be followed by the presentation of high Altitude Platforms (HAPS) princi
 ples.  Stratospheric HAPS operation requiring up to a few hundreds  kW o
 f electrical power is limited by long sun eclipses.  The realization of t
 errestrial MW WPT systems feeding HAPS could be the solution for their lon
 g duration operation and for the preliminary tests of more complex and pow
 er demanding Solar Power Satellites (SPS) systems.  Electro Magnetic Inte
 rference (EMI) and biological hazards issues will be discussed for selecte
 d frequencies and compared for terrestrial\, HAPS and SPS long range MW WP
 T systems.
