Trends in modern wireless communications, including the use of massive MIMO and millimeter wave frequencies, have supported an increased deployment of electrically large antennas. This created technical and economic challenges as many EMC or regulatory tests require a far-field condition. This talk provides an overview of the recent findings in defining the shortest possible far-field test distance, depending on the size of the device under test, its operation frequency, the target metric and the upper bound acceptable measurement deviation. Practical ways are also described to determine the maximum antenna aperture size that can be tested in the far-field at a given frequency and for a maximum error, in an existing chamber with a defined range <a href="http://length.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="length.Speaker(s):">length.Speaker(s): Dr. Benoit Derat, Bldg: HUB 350, 350 Legget Dr., Kanata, Ontario, Canada

Abstract :Active Alignment for Photonics Assembly is a key technology in high-precision manufacturing. It ensures sub-micron accuracy by continuously optimizing component positioning in real time. Unlike passive alignment methods, Active Alignment uses live optical feedback to achieve the highest possible performance. The technology is essential for applications that demand exceptional optical precision, including Camera modules & LiDAR systems, Laser beam shaping & external cavity resonators, Optical fibers & photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and Medical imaging & high-performance optics. This tutorial talk will provide an overview of Active Alignment for Photonics Assembly, key features and applications of the technology, and an opportunity for discussion with the <a href="http://presenter.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="presenter.Co-sponsored">presenter.Co-sponsored by: McGill Optica Student Chapter.

Please join us on June 4th at 12 noon for the dedication of a new IEEE Milestone in London to commemorate the first use of Cobalt-60 Radiation Cancer Treatment Machines in 1951. The citation states " In 1951, two Canadian teams of medical physicists, engineers, and radiation oncologists in London and Saskatoon, independently, yet cooperatively, designed and assembled the first treatment machines that directed gamma radiation produced by radioactive cobalt-60 onto cancerous tumours in patients. First applied at Victoria Hospital on 27 October 1951, this revolutionary treatment has since been used to extend the lives of millions of patients around the world."

Antenna or OTA measurements are blind. Knowing the detailed implementation of the device under test is not needed to realize them. They even include all production tolerances that might impact performance. However, measurements are limited to canonical test environments, e.g. in anechoic chambers. Simulations, on the contrary, can give access to electromagnetic fields in practically any scenario. Yet, simulations are only as good as the knowledge of the very details of the radiation source. What if one could unite the two and benefit from the combined strengths of experimental and numerical techniques? This talk shows how to enable this with the augmented OTA approach, involving the creation of an antenna digital twin, based on actual measured data. Practical applications are demonstrated, including field characterization inside the car and EMF assessments with virtual human <a href="http://models.Co-sponsored" target="_blank" title="models.Co-sponsored">models.Co-sponsored by: STARaComSpeaker(s): Benoit, Room: 603, Bldg: McConnell Engineering Bldg., 3480 Univesity Street, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
