Abstract: After the first demonstration of the MOSFET in 1960 at Bell Laboratories, the understanding of its intrinsic noise mechanisms quickly followed. However, poor sensitivity of integrated lightwave receivers could not be explained based on the above analyses. To understand and push these limits of the then nascent MOS technology, discovery and understanding of a... Read more →

R7 LMAG Executive Teleconference - MONTHLY MEETING Oakville, Ontario, Canada, L6H 2B1, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/385102

The presentation will discuss our latest efforts in developing a picowatt cryogenic thermal detector for use in measuring the emitted optical power from NRC quantum-dot single photon sources, and linking this measurement directly to the SI. I will also discuss the application of frequency-programmable Josephson voltage standards to the direct measurement of the electrical substitution... Read more →

Large LEO constellations and multi-orbit satellite systems have recently emerged as complex network architectures that provide and enhance a range of satellite services e.g. ubiquitous broadband internet, direct to handheld, satellite IoT etc. The current talk reviews the current capabilities of such systems from a communication perspective and describes the challenges of applying key technological...

AP Cooperation schemes which tackle the cell-edge user problem, are expected to be in the focus of Wi-Fi 8. Among them, Coordinated Beamforming (CoBF) is expected to play a key role, mainly due to the minimal inter-AP synchronization and joint processing it requires. In this talk we will analyze CoBF from the perspective of multi-user... Read more →
