28th October 2020, 12 PM: Recent Spectrum Developments in the United States
About
Recently, there have been several important regulatory actions in the United States in response to industry developments of the next generation of mobile technologies. Following the release of several GHz of spectrum in the mmwave and sub-mmwave ranges a few years ago, the US FCC embarked upon releasing additional spectrum in the mid-ranges to accelerate the expansion of 5G. These efforts, aside from being exceptionally expeditious, have used novel approaches to arrive at suitable regulatory solutions. From financial incentives to FSS operators in C-band to devising an Automated Frequency Coordination (AFC) vehicle in 6 GHz, these bold solutions are leading to several “first of its kind” solutions, paving the way towards taking full advantage of recent technological developments such as 5G and Wi-Fi 6E.
In this presentation, we look at background and outcome of the FCC’s proceedings related to these bands.
Speaker: Reza Arefi leads Emerging Spectrum Strategies and Planning at Intel and Vice President of Global mobile Suppliers Association (GSA)

Organised by IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) VIC Chapter
Our Guest Speaker Naeem Ali is a CBTC specialist based in Canada. His presentation will cover the following introductory topics:
- Define IEEE's concept of CBTC based on the IEEE 1474.1 standard.
- Difference between moving block and fixed block signalling philosophy
- Describe the 3 building blocks that make up a CBTC system (ATO, ATP and ATS) and how they interact with each other
- Illustrate the different CBTC architectures used in the industry
- Summarize briefly the IEEE CBTC standards:
- 1474.1 (CBTC performance and Function spec)
- 1474.2 (User interface req for CBTC systems
- 1474.3 (Recommended Practice for CBTC System Design and Functional Allocation
Speaker: Naeem Ali

31st of October 2020, 9 AM to 12 PM: Transformer Design and Design Parameters
Organised by IEEE Power Energy Society (PES) VIC Chapter.
Date & time: Saturday, the 31st October 2020 from 9.00 am to 12.00 pm
Online Meeting Link: Online Link: https://deakin.zoom.us/j/97296206012
Abstract: The presentation will be on the Basics of Transformer Design. The presentation will explain how a transformer designer interprets parameters such as MVA, Lightning impulse, Switching impulse, and Percentage impedance. It will touch on Power Rating [MVA], Core, Rated voltages, Insulation Coordination, Short-circuit Impedance, Short-circuit Forces, Loss Evaluation, Temperature limits, Cooling, and Sound level. It will also explain overload and life expectancy of a transformer as well as when Delta winding is needed in a Wye-Wye connection. The presentation will answer why North America likes to regulate from the low voltage side whereas Europe regulates from the high voltage side.

UPLINK Call for articles and other information
we were wondering if you could give us a hand in preparing the next edition of UPLINK, the Section Newsletter?
We are looking for content as follows.
(1) if in 2020 you've submitted a thesis, published a paper in any journal or presented at any conference, could you please lets us know the details (citation, abstract and thumbnail photograph) through the Google form link given below- we will put that into a publications section of UPLINK.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgixTBZFNsOQa2QW7mT1KWDqbEyav8WgigDiycuHreXiioDQ/viewform
(2) if you have any news about upcoming events, industry activity, or know of people that have moved into the Section area, then again please let us know.
(3) we would like to publish an interview or two with people about their work / work topic, if you have a suggestion as to who might like to do that (including yourself), then get back to us.
(4) if you'd like to write a half page or one page article (750 word limit) on a topic you think might interest your fellow IEEE Vic. members, then please contact us.
