• IEEE EPS Distinguished Lecture: Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging

    Bldg: Bahen Centre for Information Technology, 40 St George St, Room BA1240, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5S 2E4, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/335514

    [] Please note that this lecture has unfortunately had to be cancelled. Lecture notes from the talk will be shared with registrants. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. The IEEE Toronto Electronics Packaging Society is proud to present Distinguished Lecturer Dr. John Lau of Unimicron Technology Corporation and his talk on "Chiplet Design and Heterogeneous Integration Packaging". Abstract Chiplet is a chip design method and heterogeneous integration is a chip packaging method. Heterogeneous integration uses packaging technology to integrate dissimilar chips, photonic devices, and/or components (either side-by-side, stacked, or both) with different sizes and functions, and from different fabless design houses, foundries, wafer sizes, feature sizes and companies into a system or subsystem on a common package substrate. For the next few years, we will see more implementations of a higher level of chiplet designs and heterogeneous integration packaging, whether it is for time-to-market, performance, form factor, power consumption or cost. In this lecture, the introduction, recent advances, and trends in chiplet design and heterogeneous integrationpackaging will be presented. Please join us Tuesday, December 13th at 11 AM in BA1240. The event will also be streamed live on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person. Food and refreshments will be served.

  • Paving the Way Towards Mobile IAB: Problems, Solutions and Challenges

    Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/337093

    5G networks are being designed and deployed considering a dense deployment of small cells in order to simultaneously serve more users with higher throughput and lower delay. However, building from scratch a completely new infrastructure is costly and takes time. Deploying access and backhaul as wireless links, a.k.a. integrated access and backhaul (IAB), is envisioned as a viable approach to enable flexible and dense networks. Even further, mobile IAB (mIAB) is a candidate solution to enhance the connectivity of users moving together. Motivated by this, in this talk, we firstly present the basic architecture of IAB. Then, we provide the main use cases of mIAB. After that, an extensive performance analysis is presented. Passengers and pedestrians quality of service is evaluated. Moreover, results related to the wireless backhaul are also presented. The mIAB scenario is compared to two benchmark solutions, i.e., a scenario with only macro gNBs and a scenario with macro and pico gNBs fiber-connected to the core network. Finally, we summarize the lessons learned and list some open issues and future directions. Speaker(s): Victor Monteiro, Francisco Rafael Lima Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/337093

  • Humber College Competitive Programming Workshops

    Room: F212, Bldg: F 2nd floor, 205 Humber College Blvd, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, M9W5L7

    Dr. Andrew Rudder will be teaching programming concepts with a focus on competitive programming. Various languages may be used. You should be familiar with any of the following programming languages Java, C#, C, C++ or python. A basic knowledge of selection logic (such as if statements), loops and functions are sufficient. This is a prerequisite for Humber IEEE Students attending IEEExtreme competitions. Course continues depending on registration. Course is free. Available to any current Humber students. Course will probably last until October 2022. Breaks for Humber Midterm exams, final exams and reading weeks.

  • 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!
