I will introduce a life cycle assessment (LCA)-driven approac h to electronics design\, showing how to quantify the true environmental f ootprint as well as methods to design electronics for environmental sustai nability and supply chain resilience. Looking at the impact of semiconduct or devices and specifically RFICs\, methods for circularity through recycl ing and re-use will be introduced\, identifying trade-offs in reliability\ , performance\, and ease of recycling. Fully biodegradable RF package asse mblies with high-performance transmission beyond 170 GHz will be showcased \, along with their ability to enable a circular economy for RFICs\, witho ut the use of traditional bonding approaches. Finally\, emerging applicati ons in RF-based sensing will be introduced\, showing how microwave electro nics could reduce the complexity of sensing interfaces.\n\nLecture #2 by P rof. Sharma: There is a great demand for high data throughput\, innovative beam steering antenna solutions for wireless and satellite communication applications. Over the last decade\, beam steering antennas have advanced significantly\, driven largely by mature silicon beamforming chipsets\, mu ltilayer printed circuit boards\, and 3D printing technologies. This talk focuses on emerging flat panel phased array antennas used in wireless and satellite communications. The presentation will delve into electronic beam steering through beamforming networks and commercially available beamform ing integrated circuit (BFIC) chips. The presentation will showcase exampl es of X-/Ku-/Ka-band flat panel phased array antennas featuring dual linea r\, dual circular\, and polarization-reconfigurable designs. These discuss ions will explore the challenges and roles of silicon BFICs\, multilayer p rinted circuit board (PCB) fabrication\, RF component assembly\, beamformi ng algorithms\, and 3D dielectric and metal printing in antenna array desi gn. The talk will emphasize the importance of data throughput testing of K a-band flat panel phased array antennas in a laboratory environment and ov er-the-air (OTA) testing across a 1 km link between two San Diego State Un iversity buildings. It will also cover data throughput testing of a dual c ircular polarized Ka-band flat panel phased array on a payload over a 100\ ,000 ft Aerostar balloon. The speaker will conclude with insights on the f uture evolution of beam steering technology.\n\nSchedule:\n4-4.30 Networki ng\n4.30-5.30 - Prof. Wagih's lecture and Q&A\n5.30-6.30 - Prof. Sharma's lecture and Q&A\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Mahmoud Wagih\, Prof. Satish Sharma\n \nAgenda: \nSchedule:\n4-4.30 Networking\n4.30-5.30 - Prof. Wagih's lectur e and Q&A\n5.30-6.30 - Prof. Sharma's lecture and Q&A\n\nBldg: Qualcomm Bu ilding Q Auditorium\, 6455 Lusk Blvd\, San Diego\, California\, United Sta tes\, 92121 LOCATION:Bldg: Qualcomm Building Q Auditorium\, 6455 Lusk Blvd\, San Diego\ , California\, United States\, 92121 ORGANIZER:pthadesar3@gmail.com SEQUENCE:40 SUMMARY:IEEE 2-Lecture Event - (1) Sustainable Semiconductors and Wireless RF (Eco)Systems\, (2) Design and Development of Flat Panel Phased Array An tennas URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/588093 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="text-decoration: underline\;" ><strong>Lecture #1 by Prof. Wagih: </strong></span>The electronics indust ry produces non-negligible emissions and e-waste\, and is a major consumer of critical raw materials (CRMs)\,which could hinder its growth to delive r our digital aspirations.
