Reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) are an emerging technology for engineering the channels of future wirelesscommunication systems. The vast majority of research publications on RIS are focusing on system-level optimizationand are using very simple models. Most of these models are based on the idea, that the reactive lossless terminationsof the RIS antenna elements will only change the phase of the signals, that are received and propagated forward tothe final destination, without changing the amplitude.There are only few publications with a focus on physically modelling using multiport network analysis. Some are basedon impedance parameters and some on scattering parameters. In the scattering parameter approach the idea ofchanging only the phases is still carried on, while the impedance parameter approach shows a different result.We will show that even with a very simple model based on isotropic radiators, ignoring any mismatch, mutual coupling,and losses this idea of changing the phases only cannot be true.We will demonstrate how this misconception can be resolved by correctly mapping the impedance parameters toscattering parameters and vice versa. A careful interpretation of the different parameters shows the equivalence of thedifferent models. With some simple scenarios based on deterministic LOS channels as well as on Rayleigh fadingchannels from RIS to the user, the importance of the careful use of the described models becomes apparent.Speaker(s): MichaelE1-270 EITC, 75 Chancellors Circle, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, R3T 5V6

Silicon photonics are the semiconductor integration of EIC and PIC on a silicon substrate (wafer) with complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. On the other hand, co-packaged optics (CPO) are heterogeneous integration packaging methods to integrate the optical engine (OE) which consists of photonic ICs (PIC) and the electrical engine (EE) which consists of the electronic ICs (EIC) as well as the switch ASIC (application specific IC). The advantages of CPO are: (a) to reduce the length of the electrical interface between the OE/EE (or PIC/EIC) and the ASIC, (b) to reduce the energy required to drive the signal, and (c) to cut the latency which leads to better electrical performance. In the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of heterogeneous integration of PIC and EIC, whether it is for performance, form factor, power consumption or cost.Speaker(s): John H Lau, Agenda: The content of this lecture is shown below.-Silicon Photonics-Data Centers-Optical Transceivers-Optical Engine (OE) and Electrical Engine (EE)-OBO (on-board optics)-NPO (near-board optics)-CPO (co-packaged optics)-Integration of the PIC and EIC-2D Heterogeneous Integration of PIC and EIC-2D Heterogeneous Integration of ASIC Switch, PIC and EIC-2D Heterogeneous Integration of ASIC Switch, PIC and EIC with Bridges-3D Heterogeneous Integration of PIC and EIC-3D Heterogeneous Integration of ASIC Switch, PIC and EIC-3D Heterogeneous Integration of ASIC Switch, PIC and EIC with Bridges-Heterogeneous Integration of ASIC Switch, PIC and EIC on Glass Substrate-SummaryRoom: HA 401, Bldg: Haultain Building, 170 College St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 3E3

With the popularity of edge computing, massive users and devices at the network edge are more actively involved in the networks, pushing the information collection, computation, storage, and communications more towards end users. In these more decentralized systems, how to enable efficient and trustworthy interactions among different parties becomes an essential issue.Blockchain has been considered as a promising approach to facilitate the establishment of decentralized trustworthy computing systems with non-repudiated information records. For example, Bitcoin has attracted wide attention as a secure and decentralized platform to enable peer-to-peer exchanges of digital currency. Ethereum then generalizes blockchain as a state machine and enables smart contracts, a piece of code that can support complex logic and be self-executed when certain conditions are met. Such generalization enables blockchain to potentially serve as a computing infrastructure and opens new opportunities for blockchain to facilitate secure and decentralized interactions among any parties without making high trust assumptions about them.In this talk, we will discuss some key characteristics of blockchain and a few promising applications of blockchain that can facilitate security and trust among multiple parties. Some examples include designing a secure and efficient multi-signature scheme to facilitate multi-party approval process on Fabric, an enterprise blockchain platform; applying blockchain to secure software updates for resource-constrained IoT networks; and to facilitate fair trading in transactive energy market.Speaker(s): Yuhong LiuRoom: ETLC E1-008 , Bldg: Engineering Teaching and Learning Complex, 9120 116 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, T6G 2V4

This talk will cover principles and application of current mode design techniques for ultra low power transceivers/signal generators. Current mode design techniques are becoming popular in recent times due to emergence of beamforming and AI/ML applications. In this talk, a few novel constructs for current mode designs shall be presented that are implemented using 14nm CMOS FinFET technology for qubit state controller (QSC) used for next generation quantum computing applications. The QSC includes an augmented general-purpose digital processor that supports waveform generation and phase rotation operations combined with a low power current-mode single sideband upconversion I/Q mixer-based RF arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Implemented in 14nm CMOS FinFET technology, the QSC generates control signals in its target 4.5GHz to 5.5 GHz frequency range, achieving an SFDR > 50dB for a signal bandwidth of 500MHz. With the controller operating in the 4K stage of a cryostat and connected to a transmon qubit in the cryostat’s millikelvin stage, measured transmon T1 and T2 coherence times were 75.7μs and 73μs, respectively, in each case comparable to results achieved using conventional room temperature controls. In further tests with transmons, a qubit-limited error rate of 7.76x10-4 per Clifford gate is achieved, again comparable to results achieved using room temperature controls. The QSC’s maximum RF output power is -18 dBm, and power dissipation per qubit under active control is 23mW.Speaker(s): , Sudipto ChakrabortyRoom: 516, Bldg: ICT, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Join the IEEE Toronto Instrumentation & Measurement – Robotics & Automation Joint Chapter for a talk on the Building Inclusivity into Software Engineering, presented by Dr. Mariam Guizani from Queen's University.[]Tuesday, October 22, 2024 @ 5:30 – 6:30 PMAbstract: Individuals often develop software based on their own cognitive preferences and perspectives. However, given the diverse ways in which people process information, it becomes crucial to examine how we can effectively test and implement software with inclusivity in mind.This presentation will delve into the relationship between inclusivity and technology, addressing two main questions: What are inclusivity bugs? And how can we find and fix them in software products?In this presentation, Dr. Guizani will introduce a Why/Where/Fix systematic inclusivity debugging process to help find inclusivity bugs (using the GenderMag cognitive walkthrough method), localize the Information Architecture (IA) faults behind them, and then fix the IA to remove the inclusivity bugs found. Additionally, she will share insights from various teams using GenderMag to enhance inclusivity in their products and processes.Speaker(s): Mariam Guizani, Ph.D.Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/432370
