Topic: Design and Instrumentation Challenges of FMCW (Automotive) Radar

Description: Modern radars produce complicated pulses that can present significant measurement challenges. The desire to improve range, resolution and immunity to interference have motivated numerous coding schemes, frequency and phase modulated pulses, frequency chirped pulses and narrow pulses with high overall bandwidth.  In this session, we will discuss some of the design challenges and instrument considerations for radar signal generation and analysis. There will be a live demo of the transmit analysis solution, using the new MSO6 from Tektronix. We will also have some new products from Tektronix on display.

Presented by: Mark Elo, Technical Marketing Manager at Tektronix

Location: Room CEI 3000,  Ed Lumley Center for Engineering Innovation

Date & Time: Thursday, March 14^th, 2:30pm – 4:30pm (presentation 2:30 – 3:30pm) (networking 3:45pm. – 4:30pm)

Please register here as limited seats are available.

“Doppler Estimation for Aeronautical Satellite OFDM System”

Abstract: Air traffic and onboard data access services are expected to have tremendous growth. To meet the challenges, the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) can be deployed to enable the increased usage of broadband services onboard. The Doppler effect is one of the major issues in implementing OFDM modulation in the aeronautical satellite communication system since the received carrier frequency shifts and Doppler spread result in intercarrier interference (ICI). In this seminar, we will evaluate the Doppler frequency estimation using the parametric method, and Angle of Arrival technique (AoA) to reduce the impact of Doppler effect on system performance. The MUSIC, Eigenvector and Minimum Norm algorithms are used to estimate the subcarriers’ shift of received OFDM symbol. We can find that the both methods can be reducing the effect of ICI in aeronautical satellite environment.

Speaker: Mr. Houssein Boud

About Speaker: Mr. Boud is currently a Ph.D. student at Western University. He has completed his M.Sc. in Communications Engineering and Signal Processing at University of Plymouth, UK. Mr. Boud has also worked as Wireless & Satellite Field Engineer, and for manufactures; such as ND Satcom AG, WiLAN and Skylogic.

“Solar Energy Potential for Canada: Diesel Reduction in the Arctic ”

Abstract: Solar energy will play a central role in solving the Carbon-reduction challenges facing Canada. Solar thermal energy for heat generation and solar PV for clean electricity offer the perfect path to a clean, green, and fossil fuel free future. The technologies will be presented, and actual operational data from existing solar systems will be shared. A special topic will be actual examples of solar PV systems for Diesel reduction in some of the most
remote Canadian arctic communities.

“Smart Sharing of Radio Electrical Spectrum”

Abstract: Usable portions of the radio spectrum are becoming scarcer with introduction and the evolution of the new wireless communications technologies. The IEEE working group has developed standards to better utilize the available vacant radio spectrum bands such as the TV White Spaces (TVWS) with IEEE 802.22 standard approved in 2011. This lecture is about how this standard works, considerations, application, and a vision of the future wireless communications that use a smart shared spectrum.
