Welcome to the MWE 2013
On behalf of the 2013 Microwave Workshops and Exhibition (MWE 2013) steering committee, it is
my privilege and honor to welcome you to MWE 2013 for three days from Wednesday, November 27 to
Friday, November 29, 2013 at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Japan.
The MWE has been the only comprehensive event in Japan covering technologies, industries and
education related to microwave since 1991. The MWE comprises workshops giving an overview of the
state-of-the-art technologies and future visions, basic educational courses for young engineers, and an
exhibition of the latest products.
The keynote concept of the MWE 2013 is "Wireless Technology, Drivers for Smart Life." Thus in the
opening ceremony, Mr. Yoshiaki Takeuchi (Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) will
present a keynote address entitled "The Latest Radio Frequency Policy in Japan" which will discuss the
latest radio frequency policy and regulation. Furthermore, Professor Kiyomichi Araki (Tokyo Institute
of Technology) will give a special lecture entitled "Past, Current, and Future in Reconfigurable
Transceivers" which will review research and development works in the field of reconfigurable
transceiver, and discuss its future trend of this technology.
In the workshops, 2 introductory and 4 tutorial sessions intended for beginners, 14 technical
workshops focusing on the latest microwave technology, and 1 special session with talks by specialists including Dr. Yoshihisa Okumura（professor
emeritus at Kanazawa Institute of Technology）, who all have contributed in research and development of each generation's mobile telephone system in Japan.
In the exhibition, more than 400 companies, from both Japan and overseas, and about 35 universities
and colleges will exhibit their new products, technologies and research activities. And some of the
exhibitors will also give technical seminars regarding their products.
We sincerely hope that your experience in Yokohama is a memorable one and is both personally and
professionally rewarding. So, please come and enjoy your microwave journey in the MWE 2013.
In closing, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to everyone who has been supporting us in
organizing the MWE 2013.
