[] The analysis of electromagnetic problems with moving objects has many applications: RF Doppler radars, astrophysics, GPS, electromagnetic gyroscopes… This seminar proposes an original and thorough analysis of the behavior of electromagnetic waves in the presence of moving bodies by using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Movements are implemented by changing positions of... Read more →

The presentation highlights the use of interferometric techniques in millimeter wave systems such as high data-rate communication systems, radar sensors or broadband quadrature interferometric mixers. The main advantage of these mixers, compared to conventional ones, are the reduced power requested for the operation. The fabrication technologies used are MHMIC, RW, SIW. All circuits and modules...

[] Abstract: Quantum simulation of many-particle quantum systems is one of the most interesting applications of quantum computers and a candidate for the first demonstration of a useful quantum advantage. Variational quantum eigensolvers constitute a promising path toward that goal. I will give an overview of the elements that enter quantum simulation and focus on... Read more →

The power converters and control strategies play a crucial influence in boosting the renewables (PV, wind, fuel cell stack, batteries) power through voltage conversion. Several power converter topologies along with control algorithms are proposed for various grid-connected and vehicular applications. State-of-the-art technology, newly developed control strategies as an example with Hybrid ANFIS-PSO and Lyapunov function... Read more →

Abstract: It is commonly known that the interplay of linear and nonlinear effects gives rise to solitons, i.e., self-trapped localized structures, in a wide range of physical settings, including optics, Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs), hydrodynamics, plasmas, condensed-matter physics, etc. Nowadays, solitons are considered as an interdisciplinary class of modes, which feature diverse internal structures. While most... Read more →

EMC (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility) issues are more prominent in present day electronics because of miniaturization and IoT (Internet of Things). As such, EMC analysis in the early product design phase helps mitigate emission and immunity issues, as well as investigate problems due to external or co-site interference. This talk presents a comprehensive overview of Feko capabilities... Read more →

Abstract: Quantum interference phenomena are widely viewed as posing a challenge to the classical worldview. Feynman even went so far as to proclaim that they are the only mystery and the basic peculiarity of quantum mechanics. Many have also argued that basic interference phenomena force us to accept a number of radical interpretational conclusions, including:... Read more →

Printed RF Antennas -- From Materials, Printing process to Applications Abstract: Printed antennas, known for their low cost, diverse range of substrates, and various form factors, are establishing a new research field and complementing traditional PCB-based antennas. They are pivotal in the deployment of 5G/6G communications, IoT, autonomous driving, precision farming, smart cities, and more.... Read more →
