The IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility Society UK and Ireland Chapter invites you to attend the forthcoming technical meeting on various topics at the University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street London W1W 6UW. The afternoon technical meeting is open to all and free of charge, but please note the requirement to register in advance.
Find out moreTechnical Talk: Challenges for Energy Demand in the Energy Transition by Prof Nick Eyre, University of Oxford Historically, attention to changing energy demand has focused on securing modest improvements to deliver cost effective savings. The ambitious goals for carbon emissions reduction in the Paris Agreement change that agenda. The consensus of global and [...]
Find out moreThis lecture will consider how engineers model origami and use it to design space antennas, energy absorbing structures and meta-materials.
Find out moreWith more upcoming frequency bands used for wireless communication, there is a growing need for transmitters and receivers that can operate at different frequencies in a flexible way. By abandoning the classical narrowband approach, new receiver architectures are explored in which noise and interferer robustness problems have to be solved. In this presentation, several circuit and system techniques will be illustrated that may enable future radio systems, for example: thermal noise cancelling, N-path filters, recent developments in RF channel selective receivers as well as beamforming techniques.
Find out moreThere are many approaches to model the different abilities of the brain. In this short webinar, three of them will be briefly introduced: Morphosyntactic Linguistic Wavelets, Fuzzy Harmonic Systems, and Bacteria Reasoning. Some of their current and potential applications will also be presented.

This seminar is an opportunity to share and discuss different perspectives, ideas, opinion, expertise and experience by innovation professionals from academia / research, industry / commerce, education and the government. It is anticipated that such exchanges in this forum would lead to the development of a comprehensive Systematic Innovation approach that can be adopted by all stakeholders interested in innovation.
Find out moreThe UK has the second highest tides in the world with the potential to provide substantial renewable energy. Hear about the ways of harnessing it, the various schemes proposed, their impact and comparison of costs.
Find out moreNASA observes our space environment daily with a fleet of space observatories, and in order to understand the Earth, we must comprehend it in the context of a larger universe. Every discovery we make about the distant universe, or the worlds, or our solar system, better informs our knowledge of our home planet. Three areas are at the heart of NASA’s comprehensive science program: Exploration, Innovation and Excellence. Dr. Zurbuchen will explore these tenets and share how NASA leads on a civilisation scale to enable new capabilities and address global challenges.

This webinar is designed to discuss future research trends in human activity recognition, i.e. lifelong learning – how to automatically and continuously adapt activity recognition systems to unexpected, unavoidable and constant changes in human actions, sensing technologies, and environments.
Find out moreThe application-level reliability of a power converter is among the least understood topics today. There are no established guidelines that can be used to design a power converter in order to guarantee a certain mean-time-between-failures (MTBF) or mean-time-to-failures (MTTF). This talk will discuss the current approach followed in industry for assessing the field-reliability of power converters and will outline a new approach that emphasises on physics-based component failure mechanisms.
