Name & Affiliation |
Kris
INIEWSKI (University of Alberta, Canada) |
| Brief
Description |
The
course first provides an overview of wireless technologies for
body area networks. It then describes communication system,
circuit design, antenna and system packaging considerations.
The selections of transceiver architectures, circuit techniques
and component technologies (CMOS, MEMs, energy-scavenging devices)
are discussed with an emphasis on the ultra low-power implementation
and operating characteristics that match requirements of sensor
network application. Finally, some CMOS VLSI circuit design
implementation issues in system-on-chip (SoC) and system-in-package
(SiP) environments are discussed. |
| Expected
Audience |
Electrical engineers who have limited experience in wireless/RF technologies and want to broaden their knowledge base. Circuit designers who are considering upgrading their skills. Students and faculty members exploring new research topics. |
| Outline |
Introduction to ambient intelligence concepts (smart dust, wearable computing, health monitoring)
Wireless technologies overview (3G cellular, WLAN, 802.11, Bluetooth, Zigbee)
Hardware design challenges (power budget, antenna, energy scavenging, MEMs, system on chip vs. system in package)
Silicon transceiver architectures (heterodyne, direct conversion, low IF, superegenerative)
CMOS circuit blocks (LNA, mixer, phase locked loop, filters, ADC and DAC)

Biography |
Krzysztof (Kris) Iniewski is an Associate Professor at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering Department of University of Alberta. His interests are in advanced CMOS devices, high-speed and RF circuits for wireless applications. His research program in wearable computing is to build "smart dust", ultra low power ICs to be used in medical applications, wearable electronics and ad-hoc sensors networks.
In addition to his academic duties, Dr. Iniewski is a founder and president of SilicoMOS, a consulting firm in Vancouver, Canada and serves as an Adjunct Professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, University of British Columbia (UBC), and University of Calgary. He is also an adjunct scientist at TRLabs in Edmonton. He has over 15 years of technical experience in semiconductor and communication IC industry.
From 1995 to 2003, he was with PMC-Sierra and held various technical and management
positions in Research & Development. Prior to joining PMC-Sierra, from 1990 to 1994 he was an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto's Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering department.
Dr. Iniewski has published over 80 research papers in international journals and conferences. He holds 18 international patents granted in USA, Canada, France, Germany, and Japan. In 1988 he received his Ph.D. degree in electronics (honours) from the Warsaw University of Technology (Warsaw, Poland).
Dr. Iniewski has been recently working with Canadian Microelectronics Corporation (CMC) on establishing a collaboration framework with international links for coordinated university research access to advanced technologies such as sub-100nm CMOS.
