[] The analysis of electromagnetic problems with moving objects has many applications: RF Doppler radars, astrophysics, GPS, electromagnetic gyroscopes… This seminar proposes an original and thorough analysis of the behavior of electromagnetic waves in the presence of moving bodies by using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. Movements are implemented by changing positions of the objects at each time step, through the classical FDTD time loop. With this direct approach, time is implicitly absolute and Voigt-Lorentz transformations are not implemented. This technique is suitable for non-relativistic speeds, thus for most encountered electromagnetic problems, especially in antennas and propagation domain. The numerical aspects that need to be considered are studied. Then, different problems are investigated: moving plane wave source with resistors, moving observation point, moving inclined Partially Reflecting Surface (PRS), moving line source, and moving metallic cylinder illuminated by a plane wave. The results, in terms of Doppler frequency shift and changes in amplitude of the electric field, are compared with those of special relativity which are considered as the references. Some aspects of special relativity are present in the direct FDTD approach, such as the independence of the velocity of electromagnetic wave propagation with the speed of the source and Lorentz local time (with a different physical interpretation). Some of the obtained results agree with special relativity. Other ones are different, but the differences are negligible for non-relativistic speeds. Techniques are proposed for the implementation of relativistic effects. The results obtained with our analysis bring new physical insights on the propagation of waves with moving bodies. In particular, it is shown that the amplitude of the electric field for an ideal plane wave source does not increase with the speed of motion. Moreover, for a moving scattering metallic wire, one can observe a phenomenon similar to shock waves. Other analyzed problems include complexes motions (multiple speeds, acceleration, rotation, oscillation), moving airplanes, Michelson-Morley interferometer, Sagnac effect, Heaviside faster-than-light analysis. Some quantum phenomena (Compton experiment, blackbody radiation) are also studied… Speaker(s): Professor Halim Boutayeb Agenda: 11:30am - 12:15pm: Lecture by Professor Halim Boutayeb 12:15pm - 12:30pm: Question and Answer (Q/A) Room: RBCx Finance Quarter, Bldg: Hub350, 350 Legget Dr, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K2K 3N1

The presentation highlights the use of interferometric techniques in millimeter wave systems such as high data-rate communication systems, radar sensors or broadband quadrature interferometric mixers. The main advantage of these mixers, compared to conventional ones, are the reduced power requested for the operation. The fabrication technologies used are MHMIC, RW, SIW. All circuits and modules are designed and characterised in our millimeter- wavelaboratory. Fabrication uses outside facilities. As an initial step, computer models based on the VNA measurements are used in computer simulations of the systems to validate the architecture and functionality. This allows important cost reduction on module/transceiver prototypes. Test benches and some measurement results of the fabricated prototypes, from 24 GHz up to 90 GHz are presented and discussed. Future work will include designs at higher frequency, over D-band (110 - 170 GHz), to meet the ongoing requirements of the academia and industry.

[] Abstract: Quantum simulation of many-particle quantum systems is one of the most interesting applications of quantum computers and a candidate for the first demonstration of a useful quantum advantage. Variational quantum eigensolvers constitute a promising path toward that goal. I will give an overview of the elements that enter quantum simulation and focus on our work on adaptive problem-tailored algorithms..

The power converters and control strategies play a crucial influence in boosting the renewables (PV, wind, fuel cell stack, batteries) power through voltage conversion. Several power converter topologies along with control algorithms are proposed for various grid-connected and vehicular applications. State-of-the-art technology, newly developed control strategies as an example with Hybrid ANFIS-PSO and Lyapunov function for Power Converter configuration for Fuel Cell – Vehicular Power Train (FC-VPT), Renewables, and Microgrids application will be discussed with the presentation. New power converters with the new modified version are viable and cost-effective solutions with reduced size and increased efficiency. The comprehensive review, and comparison of different control strategies for grid-connected/anti-islanding operation, Maximum PowerPoint Tracing with partial shading conditions, and suitability for various applications will be discussed in the presentation, with avoiding Phase-loop Lock (PLL). Therefore, ensure the demand for the vehicles' grid-connected systems, motor, and EV power trains. Finally, the advantages/disadvantages will be pointed out in the presentation for each converter's prominent features, challenges, and application for fuel cell (FC) technology, EVs, Microgrids, and Renewables.
