Diary of 20 Feb 2002. Wednesday


The day started late as only two participants were there. Prof.
Radicella came down searching the members if any sitting in the computer
room. Few were there and he instructed gently to move to class Room,
which ofcourse was followed by the group.

The day's first part was dealt by  Mr. T. CESKY from Luxembourg, a
professional from a private organization called SEA-ASTRA," The subject
of today  was Digital Broadcasting : Implementation of new services and
their position in multimedia communication world." It was very nice to
have the senior professional like him for the presentation. He delivered
very good presentation cum lecture. He started with statement that this
will be too ambitious to complete the subject in this short time , but
he did his best . Though he had assumptions that the gathering of
student participants are aware of basics, which is not always true.
Prof. Struzak , has been instrumental in simplification of the gaps in
understanding and on behalf of the participants he posed few questions ,
which in turn helped in further development of understanding. It was
only two lectures comprising of 3 hrs to account of Mr. T. Cesky and he
tried his best. The requirement of Digital Broadcasting was dealt at
length, then Terrestrial v/s Satellite broadcasting, Growth in Digital
Drives Satellite market was discussed. Terrestrial Broadcasting , T-DAB
and DVB-T with case demonstration and much more was part to his
presentation. Session II The session two was also very important. Which
started with presentation again from the Industry i.e. TELIT Dr. Guido
Walcher from the same industry gave his illustrating presentation and
the subject was CELLULAR SYSTEM : TOWARD 3G , there was a new style in
his presentation he explained every thing in normal forwared style and
at the end he sumerrised in reverse order. He was accompanied by his
colleague Mr. Alberto Cerdeira from the same Industry. He had a subject
of 3G WIRELESS SYSTEMS : UMTS  It was indeed another impressive
presentation.

LUNCH; Today was a real short break for the lunch , but there was no way
to manage the time other than this. We been to TELIT works center and
introduced to many testing facilities. I had a privilege to see such
setups, in India, but many of us visited such ones for the first time.
Indeed it was a very good industrial visit. Thanks to TELIT for the
courtesy and special thanks to ICTP organizers for such practical short
but useful visit. Logistics were also tied-up by Telit, thanks once
again for the courtesy. It was very nice of Mr. Struzak to accompany us

Tourist places and lots of info regarding Venice , nearby places and
Tervisio . The visit concluded at 18:00 hrs sharp as per Schedule.
