Parametric amplifiers have become critical in superconducting quantum computing as they can produce unparalleled noise performance. This is necessary for performing fast, high fidelity qubit state ass...
We present a novel approach to realize a microwave power meter suitable for cryogenic environments, based on a modified Variable Temperature Stage (VTS). The method exploits the AC/DC transfer of powe...
Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs) have become the cornerstone of readout chains for frequency-multiplexed superconducting qubits, owing to their nearly unrivaled combination of multi-GHz in...
There has never been a time when global resource and climate monitoring were more necessary. In this talk we take a very broad look at some of the microwave techniques and instruments that have tradit...
The environmental impact of electronics is increasingly concentrated in the manufacturing phase, where energy intensity, material complexity, and short product cycles present critical challenges. As g...
Sustainable electronics focus on creating, utilizing and disposing of electronic materials and devices in ways that minimize environmental impact. Durable, eco-friendly and repairable designs, along w...
Wireless networks are a major energy consumer; the underlying microwave front-ends are dependent on specialised RFICs/MMICs fabricated in materials and energy-hungry semiconductor processes, and are r...
The talk will review the RFID lifecycle by comparing Chipless RFID, UHF RFID, and barcodes. It will also introduce a new communication approach that allows a fully passive tag to communicate with a re...
D-band wireless links are considered as the next step for high data-rate point-to-point links, for example connecting 5G and 6G base stations. Industrial prototypes are already in operation. The talk ...
The key to profitable collection of solar power in space and transport back to earth on a microwave link is the development of PaddleSats. These ultra-thin spacecraft dual-purpose their photovoltaic, ...
