DESCRIPTION:Wireless microwave connectivity underpins almost all areas of m
 odern digital society\, from communications\, sensing\, to positions. Howe
 ver\, the carbon emissions and e-waste generated from wireless microwave h
 ardware needs to be tackled through innovative materials\, design\, and in
 tegration solutions\, to build sustainable connected systems. This DML tal
 k will cover the role of microwave sensing and connectivity in a sustainab
 le and circular economy.\n\nFirst\, the industry-standard methodology of L
 ife Cycle Assessment (LCA) will be introduced for the first time\, in the 
 context of microwave hardware. The end-to-end impact of manufacturing and 
 power consumption\, and directions to make RFICs and PCBs more sustainable
  will be presented. Then\, novel recycling and re-use solutions will be in
 troduced for microwave circuits\, showing how metals\, substrates\, and RF
 ICs/MMICs\, can be sustainably re-used. Finally\, the opportunities for mi
 crowaves to enable new sustainable sensing applications in a chip-less way
  will be discussed. In particular\, how novel materials which respond to a
 lmost any measurand\, such as temperature\, humidity\, or gases\, could be
  applied in practical chipless sensors\, with low-cost and open-source mul
 tiplexed readouts. The talk will conclude with guidelines on how microwave
  hardware can be designed\, recycled\, and optimised for sustainability an
 d performance.\n\nThis presentation is open to all and both experienced an
 d novice level engineers are welcome! Please register below if you would l
