[ATM Switch] High speed ATM switch LSIs which used in B-ISDN have been developed. In 1990, 100Mbp/s BiCMOS ATM switch were reported [Kato et al., 1990]. And in 1991, a 400Mb/s 8X8 ATM switch has been developed. It realized total switch throughput of 3.2Gb/s with a 0.8mm BiCMOS technology [Tanaka et al., 1991]. A CMOS chip set for a 1.28Gb/s 16X16 output buffer ATM switch has been developed. This chip set consists of four Cell Aligner Chips, two Routing Control Chips, and nine Buffer Chips [Sugaya et al., 1992]. A 8X8 ATM switch LSI adopted Shared Multi-Buffer Architecture is proposed and implemented [Notani et al., 1992].
[High-Performance DSP] High-Performance Digital-Signal-Processor (DSP) LSIs have been developed for video and still-image processing. One of these has achieved a processing capability of 300-MOPS, which works four pipelined data-processing units at 25MHz [Minami et al., 1991]. Another has achieved a 500 MOPS by operating a single-pipelined data-processing unit at 250MHz [Goto et al., 1991]. Such high performance enabled implementation of a 64-kb/s video codec with 4 DSPs and 5 DSPs, respectively. Implementation was based on the international standard for the video-coding algorithm.

In the fields of spectral estimation, an optimal smoothing estimator was directly derived from Wiener-Hopf's theorem[Omatsu 1990]. An estimation method of input pulse locations from the response of AR transfer function was proposed based on tapered rank reduction[Kanai et al. 1991]. Instantaneous maximum entropy method was proposed as a new spectral estimation technique for nonstationary process[Takizawa 1990]. As to the approximation problem of a nonstationary ARMA Gaussian process, a solution was obtained by solving a set of linear equations[Koga 1990].
Some major developments in adaptive signal processing were also observed. A new IIR adaptive algorithm was proposed based on orthogonalization method [Fukumi et al.1990]. A simple and fast ADF algorithm was found[Chao et al.1990]. Adaptive cepstral analysis was proposed for application to speech analysis [Tokuda et al. 1990].
Multirate signal processing techniques also continued to be an active research area.To reduce the computational complexity of filters with a large number of tap coefficients used for subband coding, a new structure of filter banks was proposed[Katto et al. 1990]. Some nonuniform perfect reconstruction QMF systems were proposed [Kurosawa et al. 1989]. A perfect reconstruction QMF was proposed by improving Vitterli's design method[Ikehara 1992].
In the fields of nonlinear signal processing, a theoretically clear homomorphic operator was found, which transforms a finite sequence into another finite sequence[Yamada et al.1989]. This operator was generalized in multi-dimensional case[Yamada et al.1990]. To eliminate non-gaussian noises in picture signals, order statistic filter was extended[Fujii et al. 1990]. Fuzzy filtering was proposed for estimating nonstationary signals[Arakawa et al.1991].
It should be emphasized that numerous works have been intended to improve software development environment for signal processor[Ito et al. 1991]. Another notable new trend was development of new signal processor chips with real time processing ability for video signals [Tamitani et al. 1989, Kawamata et al.1992]. Specially for super high definition image processing, a very powerful digital signal processor was also developed[Sawabe et al. 1991].

An experimental free-space optical bus, which utilized 4 cascaded 8x2 pnpn-switch arrays based on surface emitting lasers, was demonstrated. Each switch provides an optical output, and can operate up to 20 MHz. [Yamanaka et. al., 1992]. An all optical XOR logic gate for bit-pattern matching, which consists of two vertical stacks of an HPT, a DBR mirror and a MQW modulator, was developed. The logic gate has 20 dB contrast ratio and 300 ns switching time. [Matsuo et. al., 1992]. An 256 bits array of all optical XOR logic gates which can emit light as outputs was also developed. A logic unit of the array consists of two LEDs and two HPTs, and has 10 ns switching time and 5 pJ switching energy. [Adachi et. al., 1991].
A dynamic optical neurochip with 8 neurons and 64 synapse, which is composed of an 8x8 metal-semiconductor-metal variable sensitivity photodetector (VSPD) array and an 8 line-shaped LED array, was fabricated. The VSPD array provides this neurochip variable synaptic interconnections, which is must for realizing learning capability. [Nitta et. al., 1992].
An experimental photonic ATM switching system, which utilized a space division 4x4 InP photonic switch, was developed. The system has 4 optical highways each of which has 2.4 Gb/s capacity consisted of two wavelength division multiplexed 1.2 Gb/s signals, and can exchange HDTV signals in STM-1 format. [Takahashi et al., 1990]. Experimental photonic space-division switching system was also developed using an integrated 8x8 silica-based guided-wave crossbar switch. The system has 8 subscriber lines, and can identify four terminal types such as G4 facsimile, CSMA/CD LAN, NTSC TV, and HDTV. [Yamaguchi et. al., 1990]. Semiconductor optical amplifiers with 12 dB module gain were fabricated to expand line capacity in space-division photonic switching system by compensating insertion loss of switch matrix. [Fujiwara et. al., 1991].

It is also worth noting here that the rapid advance of CAD research has made progress in Japan in both theory and application[Kang et al.,1991] and [Takizawa et al.,1991]. Related graph theoritical problems to CAD researches such as [Maruyama et al.,1990],[Isomoto et al.,1992] and [Matsunaga et al.,1991] have been discussed.
Graph theory and its applications to circuits and systems have continued to be active research field. Some prominent results are related to connectivity augmentation problem[Watanabe et al.,1990], location problem[Tamura et al.,1990], fault diagnosis of analog circuits[Yamaguchi et al.,1990] and channel assignment problem [Tamura et al.,1991].
Petri Net theory and its applications to discrete event system has become a big research area in Japan. Many fruitful results, for example, [Lee et al.,1991], [Matsumoto et al.,1991] and [Watanabe et al.,1992] have been obtained. Studies on the analysis of nonlinear systems have been very active and successive. For example, the number of solutions of nonlinear resistive circuits was discussed [Nishi et al.,1991]. A new idea of computational graph was proposed for partial differentiation [Iri et al.,1991] and was applied to detect separability of nonlinear mappings [Yamamura et al.,1991]. By the use of the notion of set-valued mappingsnew concept of quasitolera-bility of system fluctuations was proposed and the related fale-safe principle in wide sense was discussed [Horiuchi,1991].
It is remarkable that researches by homotopy method were vigorousand efficient to solving nonlinear equations. It is shown that the samemethod could also be applied to solve functional equation [Makino M. and Oishi,S.,1989 and 1990]. Also, a posteriori method was proposed for estimating the error between the exact solution and an approximate solution [Makino M., Oishi,S.and et.al.,1991].
Many Japanese researchers attended the IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS). Hence considerably large part of the recent activities concerning circuits and systems can be reviewed in the Proceedings of 1990,1991 and 1992 ISCAS,too.

In the area of source coding, universal coding is still one of the most popular research subjects and considerable improvements have been made [Yokoo, 1992].
In the area of error-control coding, algebraic-geometry codes and coded modulation are most actively studied. The award-winning paper [Kamiya et al., 1991] has established a construction method for algebraic-geometry codes on plane curves having singular points. Berlekamp-Massey algorithm has been extended to n dimensions [Sakata, 1990]. The extended algorithm, which is called Sakata algorithm, gives a powerful technique for fast decoding of algebraic-geometry codes. Imai-Hirakawa's multilevel block coded modulation has been generalized and its error performance has been analyzed [Kasami et al., 1991]. Another important aspect of the theory of error-control coding is its practical applications. From this aspect Japan is one of the most active countries as is summarized in [Imai, 1990].
Cryptography and its applications to information security are active research areas in information theory. There has been a great progress in cryptanalytic methods for des-like block ciphers. In particular powerful methods for known-plaintext attack of FEAL has been presented [Matsui et al., 1992]. A new electronic version of cash has been proposed [Okamoto et al., 1991]. This electronic cash firstly attains good dividability in the class based on the "digital signature = money" notion. The implicit asking protocols, which were originated from Japan, are actively studied. It is shown that these protocols are actually useful to enhance computational power of IC cards in case of RSA digital signatures[Kawamura et al., 1990]. A novel human identification problem of how to construct dynamic password schemes requiring no auxiliary devices has been presented and some solutions have been given [Matsumoto et al., 1992]

A narrow band interference exciser (NBIE) was developed to eliminate the adverse effects of the interference on TDMA carrier. A field experiment confirmed the good interference elimination performance of a prototype NBIE equipment against narrow band CW and swept CW interference [Satoh et al., 1992]
Novel carrier synchronization algorithms were developed to make the PSK demodulator operable under severe circumstances of low C/N, large frequency offset, multipath fading, and no or short preamble in the signalling and the communication systems such as INMARSAT C and M system [Takeuchi et al., 1990 and 1992]
A powerful error correction codec, which is suitable for the application to some VSAT systems or other ssystems requiring the high coding gain, was developed by employing a stack algorithm type sequential decoder. This codec can transmit up to 1Mb/s information at coding rates of 1/2, 3/4 and 7/8, enjoys coding gain higher than usually emplyed Viterbi decoder, and shows good performance even in a very noisy channel [Ohashi et al., 1992]

Coherent transmission technique has the potential for long-span signal transmission. Fiber chromatic dispersion was compensated using an electronic technique [ Iwashita et al, 1990]. Polarization diversity technique was experimentally confirmed to be practical for the compensation of signal polarization fluctuation [ Ryu et al, 1991].
Optics is suited for ultrafast signal processing in communication systems. Trasform-limited 7.6 ps optical pulses with a repetition rate of 30 GHz were generated [ Takada et al., 1990]. A phase-locked-loop type clock generator was proposed and operated at 14 GHz [ Takayama et al., 1992]. Optical tank circuits were used for all optical timing recovery [ Jinno et al., 1992]
Optical wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) is a technique to implement multiple channels in a single optical fiber. A 100-channel, 622 Mb/s transmission/distribution experiment with a channel spacing of 10 GHz was carried out over a 50 km-long fiber [ Toba et al., 1990]. Multichannel amplification utilizing an optical fiber amplifier was demonstrated [ Inoue et al., 1991]
Optical switches are indispensable for the control of optical fiber networks. A wavelength-division switching system using tunable laser-diode filters is proposed [ Suzuki et al., 1990] A 8 x 8 waveguide matrix switch utilizing thermo-optic effect having an insertion loss of 11 dB was reported [ Sugita et al., 1990]. A 128 x 128 rearrangeable free-space optical switch using liquid crystal modulators was demonstrated [ Noguchi et al., 1991]

There are various requirements for future networks, such as easy integration of multiproviders networks, easy introduction of new services, and easy operation of network management and maintenance. The concept of network architecture technology was proposed for network planning and construction in order to realize these demands easily and systematically [Kano et al.,1990]. Intelligent Network (IN) has been studied to achieve rapid introduction of services [CCITT Recommendations, 1990]. As communications software has become more important, the number of papers has increased. Software interfaces for information communications [Ishino,1990] and specification description [Ichikawa et al.,1991] have been studied.
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technology is necessary in order to realize B-ISDN [Inoue et al.,1991]. Many studies have been reported concerning this technology, for example, ATM switching technology [Takeuchi et al.,1991], traffic control technology on ATM networks [Saito et al.,1991], multimedia telecommu-nication services quality technology [Tachi et al.,1992] and ATM network planning and constructing technology [Murakami et al.,1992]. In advanced private network services, future concepts and their realization methodology based on ATM have been presented [Yamagata et al.,1991].
Concerning the network operation technology, dynamic-routing schemes especially have been studied for advanced traffic control. NTT has carried out field tests of a dynamic-routing scheme called STR (State- and Time-dependent Routing) on a real network and proved its effectiveness [Yamamoto et al.,1991]. For restoration control, self-healing algorithms have been presented for use in digital cross-connect systems that makes it possible to reconfigure the network dynamically [Sakauchi H. et al.,1990].
Optical fiber techniques have been gradually introduced and the conversion to optical fibers is nearly finished for the transit network. However subscriber networks opticalization is progressing more slowly and strategies for FTTH (fiber to the home) have yet to be studied [Miki,1991].
