IEEE Queensland Section

The UQ IEEE PES Student Branch Chapter invites you to join our IEEE PES Day celebration on Wednesday, April 24th. To celebrate the IEEE PES Day, we are hosting a technical seminar focused on EV mobility innovation by Dr Kai Li Lim, plus a membership drive session for IEEE PES Student and Young Professionals membership by Anand Shah. Finally, a BBQ will be hosted at Sir James Foots in the University of Queensland. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn advanced EV technology, discover benefits of PES memberships, connect with peers and celebrate the remarkable achievements of IEEE PES. Don’t miss out the great opportunity for celebration and networking!Speaker(s): Dr Kai Li Lim, Anand Shah Agenda: - Technical session of E-mobility by Dr Kai Li Lim from 17:00 - 17:30.- Membership drive session by Mr Anand Shah from 17:30 - 18:00.- BBQ session from 18:00 - 18:30 at Sir James Foots in the University of Queensland.Building 78-222, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/418399

Telstra and Ericsson announced the completion of a major upgrade to King Island’s mobile network infrastructure, providing a significant boost in connectivity and achieving a world-first and close to tenfold capacity boost for the island’s community with the launch of Australia’s longest over-water microwave telecommunications link with a throughput capacity of 9.8 Gbps with 99.99 percent availability across 120 km. In this talk we hear from the main players of this project. They will tell us about the story of delivering 5G upgrades to King Island which required a significant uplift in bandwidth to this remote location. Also, we will hear about the challenges on spectrum and link availability to meet this increase in capacity.Speaker(s): David Nicolas, Kym Chilton, Ben Williams, Martin FirusVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/415975

Abstract:As the only method for all-weather and long-distance target detection and recognition, radar has been intensively studied since it was proposed, and is considered as an essential sensor for future intelligent society. In the past few decades, great efforts have been devoted to improving radar’s functionality, precision, and response time, of which the key is to generate, control, and process a wideband signal at a high speed. Thanks to the high frequency, large bandwidth, low loss transmission, and electromagnetic immunity provided by modern photonics, implementation of the radars in the optical domain can provide better performance in terms of resolution, coverage, and speed which may not be achievable using traditional, even state-of-the-art electronics. In this talk, I'll give an overview of the photonic technologies that are currently known to be attractive for radars. System architectures and their performance that may interest the radar society are emphasized. Emerging technologies in this area and possible future research directions are discussed.Speaker(s): Prof. Shilong PanVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/413883
