Prof. Jacob Gavan, SCE - Shamoon College of Engineering, Israel Bio: Jacob Gavan earned the B.Sc. degree in the Technion Haifa 1961, the MEE in Eindhoven Technological University the Nederland, both, with distinction, in 1969 using a scholarship of Philips Ind. and his Ph.D. degree in radio communication in 1979 in ENSERG Grenoble (France) with congratulations of the Jury. He worked as an ITU Expert from 1963 to 1967 & 1971 to 1974, and held positions in the radio communication industry in Israel. He was also an Adjunct Associate Professor in Microwaves and Communication Systems at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. Jacob Gavan was elected as IEEE fellow in 1995 and founded a department of Communication Engineering at the Holon Academic Institute of Technology (HAIT, Israel). He was selected to Dean of the HAIT new school of Electrical, Electronic and Communication Engineering as Full Professor from December 2001 and elected as Dean from 1/10/03 for a two years period. Prof. Jacob Gavan leaded the establishment of a M.Sc program in Electronic and Communication Engineering which was approved by the council of higher education in Israel and include around 130 students most of them in Communication Engineering. He was Consultant in radio communications systems especially on Radio mutual Interference and Radiation effects and RF up to millimeter waves circuitry and systems to several large Israeli and international companies. He has published over 150 papers on theoretical and applied radio and Satellite communications, electromagnetics, and Radar Systems especially 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. Professor Jacob Gavan is active in the Union Radio Science International URSI Commission E and Chairman of E8 working group on "Interference in Radio Systems above 30 MHz" and in General Assembly Session E/C/F "Interference in radio communication". He earned the best paper award from the IEEE International Symposium on EMC., Santa Clara, September 1982 and was associated editor of the Transactions on EMC for several years. Recently Professor Jacob Gavan was elected as distinguished lecturer by the IEEE Communication society and as chairman of the student activities by IEEE Israel. His biography is listed in the International Directory of Distinguished Leadership. |

The long distances Microwave (MW) Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) concepts will be presented. This will be followed by the presentation of high Altitude Platforms (HAPS) principles. Stratospheric HAPS operation requiring up to a few hundreds kW of electrical power is limited by long sun eclipses. The realization of terrestrial MW WPT systems feeding HAPS could be the solution for their long duration operation and for the preliminary tests of more complex and power demanding Solar Power Satellites (SPS) systems. Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) and biological hazards issues will be discussed for selected frequencies and compared for terrestrial, HAPS and SPS long range MW WPT systems.
