Terahertz Test and Measurement: On Earth and Elsewhere
Terahertz Test and Measurement: On Earth and Elsewhere
This talk will focus on the development of THz test and measurement techniques and methods based on the up- and down-conversion of microwave signals using the nonlinearity of the Schottky diode. Originally driven by niche scientific requirements, the technology was given a big push with the design, development, and construction of the ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) receivers. The development of tunerless broadband frequency multipliers up to 1 THz was a key enabler of the ALMA receivers. The tools and techniques acquired in this development (both in design and manufacture) led to frequency multipliers and mixers covering full waveguide bands without the use of mechanical tuning. This in combination with higher-frequency power amplifiers enabled the full transmitter and receiver chains required to extend the signal generation, spectrum analysis, and vector network analysis up to 1 THz and beyond. As the sub-millimeter spectrum gains more complex applications, the next generation of test equipment requires more advanced capabilities—such as high signal purity, power control and leveling, and noise figure measurements. And coming full circle, the test equipment developments have enabled novel highly integrated sub-millimeter receivers for planetary and atmospheric sensing on new CubeSat and other microSat <a href="http://platforms.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="platforms.Speaker(s):">platforms.Speaker(s): Dr. Eric W.

Enhancement of Key Generation Rate in QKD systems using dual branch PNR detectors
Enhancement of Key Generation Rate in QKD systems using dual branch PNR detectors
Enhancement of Key Generation Rate in QKD systems using dual branch PNR detectorsAbstract: A new architecture based on dual-branch photon-number-resolving (DB-PNR) detectors for the receiver in the hybrid quantum key distribution (QKD) is introduced. DB-PNR scheme empowers the receiver to detect both quadratures of the coherent state simultaneously. Our results show that using DB-PNR detectors, the key generation rate (KGR) is almost doubled as compared to homodyne detection which detects only one quadrature at a time. The mutual information is enhanced by around 0.85 bits/symbol using DB-PNR as compared to heterodyne detection. DB-PNR is also found to outperform the heterodyne detection against Eve’s individual and collective attacks. PNR-based detection schemes require less local oscillator (LO) power compared to homodyne/heterodyne detection schemes and thereby, the power efficiency of the receiver is <a href="http://enhanced.------------------------------------------------------------------------Amélioration" target="_blank" title="enhanced.------------------------------------------------------------------------Amélioration">enhanced.------------------------------------------------------------------------Amélioration du taux de génération de clés dans les systèmes QKD à l'aide de détecteurs PNR à double brancheRésumé : Une nouvelle architecture basée sur des détecteurs à double branche de résolution du nombre de photons (DB-PNR) pour le récepteur dans la distribution de clés quantiques hybride (QKD) est introduite. Le schéma DB-PNR permet au récepteur de détecter simultanément les deux quadratures de l'état cohérent. Nos résultats montrent qu'en utilisant des détecteurs DB-PNR, le taux de génération de clés (KGR) est presque doublé par rapport à la détection homodyne qui ne détecte qu'une seule quadrature à la fois. L'information mutuelle est améliorée d'environ 0,85 bits/symbole en utilisant DB-PNR par rapport à la détection hétérodyne. Il a également été constaté que DB-PNR surpasse la détection hétérodyne contre les attaques individuelles et collectives d'Eve. Les schémas de détection basés sur PNR nécessitent moins de puissance d'oscillateur local (LO) par rapport aux schémas de détection homodyne/hétérodyne et, par conséquent, l'efficacité énergétique du récepteur est améliorée.[]Amir Hossein Yazdanpour (PhD student at McMaster in Prof. Kumar’s team)About / A proposThe High Throughput and Secure Networks (HTSN) Challenge program is hosting regular virtual seminar series to promote scientific information sharing, discussions, and interactions between <a href="http://researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe" target="_blank" title="researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe">researchers.https://nrc.canada.ca/en/research-development/research-collaboration/programs/high-throughput-secure-networks-challenge-programLe programme Réseaux Sécurisés à Haut Débit (RSHD) organise régulièrement des séries de séminaires virtuels pour promouvoir le partage d’informations scientifiques, les discussions et les interactions entre <a href="http://chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitCo-sponsored" target="_blank" title="chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitCo-sponsored">chercheurs.https://nrc.canada.ca/fr/recherche-developpement/recherche-collaboration/programmes/programme-defi-reseaux-securises-haut-debitCo-sponsored by: National Research Council, Canada. <a href="http://Optonique.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="Optonique.Speaker(s):">Optonique.Speaker(s): Amir Hossein Yazdanpour, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/466855

Antenna Design Life Cycle
Antenna Design Life Cycle
An antenna can have excellent impedance and radiation characteristics when designed in isolation. However, antennas are never in isolation and the effect of surrounding environment must be considered during the design stage. This makes the in-situ or the antenna placement analysis as important as the antenna design. In this presentation, a complete design life cycle of an antenna will be presented, starting from the standalone design to the in-situ <a href="http://analysis.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="analysis.Speaker(s):">analysis.Speaker(s): Gopinath Gampala, Dr. C.J.
