Abstract:Artificial intelligence and combinatorial optimization problems—such as drug discovery and prime factorization—remain challenging even for advanced computers. We are attempting to address these limitations by building photonic processors inspired by the brain—photonic neural networks—which utilize light for faster and more energy-efficient processing . We will discuss photonic networks, including Ising machines enabled by thin-film lithium niobate photonics , highlighting their applications in number partitioning, protein folding, wireless communications, and deep learning. Time permitting, we will briefly introduce a quantum photonic neural network that can learn to act as near-perfect components of quantum technologies and discuss the role of weak nonlinearities .

The concept of Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) has emerged as a promising approach to manage the growing operational challenges associated with high penetration of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution systems. By aggregating distributed assets, VPPs enable coordinated control of flexible resources at the customer level. However, in an open market environment where multiple VPPs may coexist within the same distribution network, new technical challenges arise in ensuring secure and reliable operation. In particular, the coordination of multiple VPPs must account for network constraints across the distribution <a href="http://feeder.To" target="_blank" title="feeder.To">feeder.To address these challenges, this work proposes a two-layer VPP dispatch framework. The upper layer determines feasible operating envelopes for each VPP by solving a network-constrained optimal power flow problem, capturing the impact of aggregated resources on the distribution system. The lower layer performs VPP-level dispatch within these limits, ensuring that individual resource schedules remain compliant with network constraints. This framework enables scalable and coordinated deployment of multiple VPPs while maintaining system reliability and operational <a href="http://feasibility.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="feasibility.Co-sponsored">feasibility.Co-sponsored by: Resilience and Clean Energy Systems (RCES)Speaker(s): Imantha Meegasthanne Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/553741

Abstract: Future 6G wireless communication systems will require high spectral and energy efficiencies for both economic and environmental reasons. Current amplifiers can have very low amplification efficiency, especially when used with variable-envelope broadband signals like the OFDM-based schemes and single-carrier schemes with compact spectrum (both widely employed in broadband wireless land and satellite communications). In fact, the maximum amplification efficiency for quasi-linear amplifiers (like class-A amplifiers) is 50%. This value drops to 5-10% when high-PAPR signals are employed. By using strongly nonlinear, switched amplifiers (like class D or F amplifiers), we can increase the maximum theoretical amplification to 100%, but the strong nonlinear distortion levels preclude its use with variable-envelope <a href="http://signals.In" target="_blank" title="signals.In">signals.In this presentation, we make an overview on block transmission techniques for broadband wireless communications, as well as current power amplification schemes, with their advantages and limitations when employed with variable-envelope signals. We also present an innovative and highly disruptive amplification scheme named quantized digital amplification (QDA), which can overcome those limitations. It is shown that the QDA allows a quasi-linear amplification of variable-envelope signals like OFDM ones, while maintaining very high energy efficiency, being able to fulfill the spectral masks and EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) requirements of the most demanding wireless systems, including OFDM-based MIMO systems employing large QAM constellations. The power efficiency gains of the QDA allow significant improvements in bit rates and coverage for wireless systems in <a href="http://general.Room:" target="_blank" title="general.Room:">general.Room: MCLD 3038, Bldg: Hector J.

Multifunctional Filtering AntennasJawad Y. SiddiquiUniversity of Calcutta, Queen's University and Royal Military College of CanadaSummary:Modern RF systems often require multiple antennas to support various frequency bands. Reconfigurable antennas address this need by providing frequency agility, compact size, and reduced hardware complexity. The proposed antenna achieves this through electrical reconfiguration enabled by the embedded SRRs and PIN <a href="http://diodes.The" target="_blank" title="diodes.The">diodes.The techniques proposed in this work have been implemented on two types of UWB antennas, a printed monopole antenna and a printed antipodal tapered slot antenna (ATSA) to validate the concept on radiators with distinct radiation characteristics: omnidirectional and directional, respectively. In both cases, split ring resonators (SRRs), magnetically coupled to the CPW feed line, function as band-stop filters, introducing a frequency notch in the UWB response around their resonance. When a set of PIN diodes embedded in the feed line are forward biased (ON), the antenna transforms into a narrowband band-pass filter centered at the same resonance frequency, thereby realizing complementary frequency responses from a single antenna <a href="http://structure.A" target="_blank" title="structure.A">structure.A key feature of the design is that it preserves the original radiator geometry. The work demonstrates a compact, versatile, and effective approach to achieving multifunctionality in UWB antennas. The integration of reconfigurable filtering into the feedline enables real-time switching between wideband and narrowband operation, making the design especially suitable for cognitive radio, multi-standard wireless systems, and MIMO <a href="http://applications.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="applications.Speaker(s):">applications.Speaker(s): Dr. JawadRoom: EIT-3151, Bldg: EIT, 200 University Ave W, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, N2L 3G1, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/553628 |
