AT RASC 2024 - URSI Radio Science School for Young Scientists - Part 1

Описание: "Wireless Power Transmitter and Receiver Efficiency Optimization"

During this talk, we will delve into the intricate realm of Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) transmitters and receivers, with a particular focus on addressing the challenge of efficiency. Efficiency stands as a pivotal concern in WPT systems, influencing their practical applicability across various domains. Our discussion will encompass an exploration of current efficiency limitations. Moreover, we will deliberate on innovative strategies and emerging technologies aimed at enhancing the efficiency of WPT systems. By collectively examining these issues and brainstorming potential solutions, we aim to foster a comprehensive understanding and pave the way for advancements in the field of wireless power transfer.

Nuno Borges Carvalho was born in Luanda, Angola, in 1972. He received the Diploma and Ph.D. degrees in electronics and telecommunications engineering from the University of Aveiro, Aveiro, Portugal, in 1995 and 2000, respectively. He is currently a Full Professor and a Senior Research Scientist with the Institute of Telecommunications, University of Aveiro. He has coauthored Intermodulation in Microwave and Wireless Circuits (Artech House, 2003), Microwave and Wireless Measurement Techniques (Cambridge University Press, 2013), and White Space Communication Technologies (Cambridge University Press, 2014). He has been a reviewer and the author of over 200 papers in magazines and conferences. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Wireless Power Transfer journal (Cambridge), an Associate Editor of IEEE Microwave Magazine, and an former Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques and IET Microwaves Antennas and Propagation journal. He is the co-inventor of six patents. His main research interests include software-defined radio front-ends, wireless power transmission, nonlinear distortion analysis in microwave/wireless circuits and systems, and the measurement of nonlinear phenomena. He has recently been involved in the design of dedicated radios and systems for newly emerging wireless technologies. He is a member of the IEEE MTT ADCOM, the past Chair of the IEEE Portuguese Section, MTT-20 and MTT-11, and also belong to the technical committees, MTT-24, and MTT-26. He is also the Vice-Chair of the URSI Commission A (Metrology Group). He was a recipient of the 1995 University of Aveiro and the Portuguese Engineering Association Prize for the best 1995 student from the University of Aveiro, the 1998 Student Paper Competition (Third Place) of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) International Microwave Symposium (IMS), and the 2000 IEE Measurement Prize. He is a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer for the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society.
