Co-sponsored by: IEEE COMSOC In this talk, Driven by higher potency and lower cost/size of devices capable of sensing, actuating, processing and communicating, the Internet of Things and of Everything promises to dramatically increase our ability to embed intelligence in the surroundings. Subnets of simple devices such as RFIDs and tiny sensors/actuators deployed in massive... Read more →

Co-sponsored by: IAS Student Branch Concordia For closed loop control of various power converters, the sensing of various feedback signals, processing them and utilizing them for implementation of controller is required. Often this is done using a micro-controller, where the classic analog controller designed for the application can be converted into a digital IIR filter... Read more →

Since the discovery of efficient leaky-wave radiation from a slot in a wave guide by Oliner, leaky-wave antennas have attracted a lot of interest in applications that require beam scanning. Printed planar configurations of LWAs have become very popular, due to low cost. Half-width LWAs based on microstrip lines and substrate-integrated-wave guides have provided an... Read more →
