Come hear IEEE 2023 MTT-S Distinguished Lecturer (DL) Dr. Jasmin Grosinger's presentation on her work in ultra-low power wireless systems. In the Connectivity for Everything that will come with 6G, there will be a massive deployment of wireless nodes (estimates of (10^7 devices)/(km^2)) and engineers are working on the RF design challenges to address the sustainibility issues at both the environmental and economic level that will come with such a deployment. This presentation will show how these issues are being addressed, and will be very interesting to MTT/AP-S members as well as all in the IEEE. Dr. Grosinger brings over 10 years of micowave/RF experience, in both academic R&D and industry in Austria, the US, and Germany to her role as an IEEE MTT-S DL. See the full presentation abstract below. Everyone is welcome, from practitioner to retiree, and student. IEEE events are open to all; you do not have to be a member to attend.

Abstract RF DESIGN FOR ULTRA-LOW-POWER WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS: EFFICIENTLY MINIATURIZING AND PASSIVELY SENSING In this talk, I will present radio frequency (RF) design solutions for wireless sensor nodes to solve sustainability issues in the Internet of things (IoT), which arise due to the massive deployment of wireless IoT nodes on environmental and economic levels. Engineers can apply these RF design solutions to improve the ultra-low-power operation of IoT nodes, avoid batteries’ eco-toxicity, and decrease maintenance costs due to battery replacement. The presented solutions offer high integration levels based on system-on-chip and system-in-package concepts in low-cost complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technologies to limit costs and carbon footprints of these nodes. Within this research context, I will present solutions for ultra-low-power wireless communication systems based on high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies. In particular, I will present RF design solutions for HF and UHF RFID systems that reveal how to develop passive miniaturized IoT nodes that operate robustly in harsh application environments and how to create batteryless or rather passive IoT nodes, which provide passive sensing capabilities and work robustly in their respective application environment.

Having a secure and reliable system is key in ensuring connectivity for daily operations, identifying faults, communication during natural disasters and future smart initiatives. By creating a Private LTE network brings control back to the utilities from the public carriers. There are many new areas and technologies that have been enabled through use of different RF bands ranging from 600mHZ to 6.0 Ghz that will enable utilities to maintain protection and control while also gathering data to make better operational decisions. From EV chargers to AMI Meters, technology has adapted and so now do utilities. Speaker(s): Jason “J.T.” Mills, , ***CANCELED*** Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/356924
