Breast Cancer Detection Using Microwaves and Microwave-Thermography Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2021-11-16)The accelerated growth in Microwave Imaging (MWI) and Microwave Detection (MWD) is driven by microwave ability to penetrate materials that are considered opaque at a shorter wavelength. This elevates MWI potential to ... -
Electromagnetic Energy Harvesting Surfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2018-10-11)The concept of wireless power transfer (WPT) was successfully demonstrated in the early years of the 20th century. One promising application of using the WPT concept is the WPT transmission utilizing a large array of solar ... -
Emerging semiconductor nanostructure materials for single-photon avalanche diodes
(University of Waterloo, 2023-05-02)Detecting of light at the single photon level has a far-reaching impact that enables a broad range of applications. In sensing, advances in single-photon detection enable low light applications such as night-time operation, ... -
Tunable Reflectarrays and Metasurfaces
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-19)Fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication networks have been rapidly expanding in recent years. However, due to the higher frequency bands used in 5G applications compared with previous generations, it is more difficult ...
