Microwave breast imaging is a promising frontier in breast cancer detection. This presentation summarizes over a decade of diverse studies, from early beginnings to a prototype portable device for underserved communities. We've developed a Health-Canada-approved device using 24 small vector network analyzers. Ongoing efforts focus on a low-cost multistatic device. Disparities in breast cancer detection... Read more →

The TT&C is a critical function that ensures the spacecraft system operates properly, by sending Telecommand, receiving Telemetry, and doing tracking for the orbit determination. Although the TT&C engineering for LEO satellites is well consolidated, when it comes to the design of TT&C subsystems for low-latency and large networks there are several open research directions....

The ability of electromagnetic waves to penetrate through various building materials, together with advances in design of ultra-wideband compact radar modules, has made see-thru-wall technology, also known as Through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI), of increasing importance in a wide range of both civilian and defense applications. In this lecture, an overview of various TWRI technologies, including... Read more →

The problem of imaging of objects within or through multilayered dielectric media appears in many areas, including those in ground-penetrating radar (GPR) imaging, through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI), intra-wall and subsurface imaging, and medical imaging. These general areas cover many important defense and civilian applications such as those in counterterrorism and law enforcement operations, firefighting, earthquake... Read more →

An InAs/InP quantum-dash mode-locked laser (QD-MLL) with phase-locked comb lines is an excellent optical source and a microwave source for, respectively, optical and wireless transmission. In this talk, a duplex radio over fiber (RoF) link using a QD-MLL for RoF transmission is reported. A few implementation issues including phase noise impairment, MIMO transmission, and photonic...
