  • Distinguished Lecture Series: Wide Tuning-Range VCOs Using Multi-Mode Resonators

    Room: BA B025, Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology, 40 St George St, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 2E4, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/342962

    LC VCOs are commonly used for RF carrier generation. A wide tuning range in a single VCO is desirable for covering multiple bands while occupying a small area. An octave tuning range enables continuous coverage of all lower frequencies by integer frequency division. LC VCOs are most often tuned using variable capacitor banks and varactors. Because of switch resistances in capacitor banks and poor quality factor of varactors, using only capacitors for tuning degrades the phase noise, especially at millimeter-wave frequencies. Variable inductors using series switches pose the same problem. Mutual coupling can be exploited to realize multiple resonant modes with different effective inductances without using switches. This allows a wider tuning range without substantial reduction in the tank quality factor. Topologies for multi-mode resonant structures and their performance will be described with examples from the literature.

  • IoT Workshop for Pre-University Educators (Kick-Off Meeting)

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/328095

    Network-based telemetry is embedded into virtually all modern products and systems in order to create new value for end users. Think of the Tesla automobile, that can update its own operating software, so the brakes work better! Pre-university ECE students need exposure to the hardware and protocols used in Internet-of-Things (“IoT”) enabled products, as well as the special challenges of designing these products. This 3-course, 12-week workshop will help you incorporate networking concepts and technology into your curriculum, and provide opportunities for your students to practice adding networking functionality to embedded projects. The courseware is based on a simple, network-enabled line-following robot based on the Raspberry Pi Pico W board, which will be provided to each participant. This training is targeted towards Grade 11/12 Computer or Electronics Engineering Teachers (Ontario TEJ/ICS Curriculum), and will be delivered virtually using a Learning Management System, combined with weekly live Q/A sessions to verify mastery of the material. When registering, please complete all address fields, so we can ship you a robot kit in time for the first session!

  • Latest developments in cable connection assemblies for HVDC gas insulated switchgear

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/343520

    As the energy transition picks up pace, and renewables are being built in larger capacities and more remote locations, HVDC transmission technologies is poised to play a vital role in integrating these clean energy resources into the existing grid. Particularly in offshore applications, the use of submarine cables means that HVDC is a preferable alternative to AC at much shorter distances than in onshore applications where overhead lines can be used. Because the power electronics used to convert AC to DC uses air as an insulating medium, offshore HVDC converter station platforms are bulky and thus costly components. Compact gas insulated HVDC switchgear has recently been developed which reduces the volumetric space requirements of the HVDC switchyard by 90%, realizing up to 10% total cost savings. Unclarity and a lack of standards regarding the approach towards qualifying cable sealing end (i.e. cable termination) technology, has hampered the uptake of such GIS. CIGRE joint working group B1/B3/D1.79 has characterized the electro-thermal stresses experienced by these components, and used this as a based to compare existing test recommendations for both HVDC GIS as well as HVDC cables, to develop a recommendation towards testing HVDC GIS cable connection assemblies. This webinar will give an overview of HVDC GIS cable connection assembly technology, its applications, its thermo-electric performance, and preliminary recommendations towards dielectric testing.
