Abstract: This presentation discusses metamaterials from a popular perspective for a general scientific audience. Metamaterials has the capability of bending waves in new ways scientists could not do before. Going back to the start of this exciting technology 20 years ago I will present examples of possible ground breaking wave applications from radio and light... Read more →

Abstract: The presentation will describe how the concept of electromagnetically soft and hard surfaces and metamaterial horns (metahorns) came about. I will also discuss practical antennas enabled by these EM techniques, as well as future opportunities and challenges in antenna and RF design. Co-sponsored by: Staracom Speaker(s): Dr. Erik Lier, Bldg: Pavillons Lassonde, M- ,... Read more →

The exploitation of the THz band is expected to catalyze 6G applications, as a solution to both wireless backhaul and fronthaul, and integrated backhaul/fronthaul applications. However, the utilization of THz wireless technologies comes with several challenges, mainly associated with the very high propagation losses in the THz regime, which require the utilization of high-gain directional...

When sharing personal data publicly, it is promised that identity of the people whose data is published will remain hidden. Anonymization is necessary but not enough, such that there are many examples of re-identification on anonymized databases. The issue is not limited to the data, but also to models as well when shared publicly and... Read more →

Sinusoidal Pulse Width Modulation (SPWM) and space vector modulation (SVM) have been widely adopted for three-phase sine AC output from a fixed dc link if the dc link voltage is much higher than desired three-phase output. However, if the source/dc link voltage is lower than the load voltage, then frond-end dc/dc converters becomes necessary leading... Read more →

Recent developments in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks are focused on multiple beam antenna systems to increase data rates and to provide more flexibility in resource allocation. Some synergies between space and terrestrial systems are emerging as the fifth-generation (5G) of wireless systems introduce millimeter-wave frequencies for short-range and indoor applications. This provides a unique... Read more →
