Palestras com o Prof. Wouter A. Serdijn – DLP IEEE CASS

Nos dia 18 de setembro, quarta-feira, das 13h30min às16h30min, no Anfiteatro do prédio 67, o Prof. Wouter A. Serdijn – DLP IEE CASS – Delft University of Technology, realizará as palestras: “Circuits and systems for wearable and implantable medical devices” e “Power-Aware Adaptive Multi-Standard Analog Circuits and Systems for Wireless Communication”.

Talk 1: Circuits and systems for wearable and implantable medical devices

Abstract of Talk 1

In the design process of wearable and implantable medical devices (IMDs), such as hearing instruments, pacemakers, cochlear implants and neurostimulators, the tradeoff between performance and power consumption is a delicate balancing act. In this presentation I will cover techniques to deal with the acquisition and generation of electrophysiological signals and to provide reliable communication through the body. We will discuss signal-specific analog-to-digital converters, morphological filters, arbitrary-waveform neurostimulators, energy harvesting and ultra-wideband wireless communication from a low-power circuits and system perspective. Design examples and their performance will be discussed in detail.

Talk 2: Power-Aware Adaptive Multi-Standard Analog Circuits and Systems for Wireless Communication

Abstract of Talk 2:

Provision of text, audio, video and data from different wireless standards with the same device requires IC designs that work across multiple standards, can easily be reused and achieve maximum hardware share at minimum power consumption. This presentation is about adaptivity applied to multi-standard circuits and systems for wireless communications. I’ll focus on three adaptive circuit building blocks, viz. the LNA, the VCO and the baseband signal processing (filter and ADC) and discuss the concepts of phase-noise tuning, C-gm tuning, noise-figure tuning, impedance matching, companding, DR versus SINAD, etc. Circuit and system examples will be given and their merits discussed.

Bio

Wouter A. Serdijn received the Ingenieur’s (M.Sc.) degree (cum laude) in Electrical Engineering from Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands, in 1989. Subsequently, he joined the Electronics Research Laboratory of the same university where he received his Ph.D. in 1994. His research interests include low-voltage, ultra-low-power and ultra wideband analog integrated circuits for wireless communications, pacemakers, cochlear implants, portable, wearable, implantable and injectable ExG recorders and neurostimulators. In this field he co-authored 7 books, 6 book chapters and more than 250 scientific publications and presentations. He has been supervising 25 Ph.D. students, 85 M.Sc. students and 19 B.Sc. students. He received the Electrical Engineering Best Teacher Award in 2001 and 2004. He has served, a.o., as Technical Program Chair for IEEE BioCAS 2010 and as Technical Program Chair for IEEE ISCAS 2010 and 2012, as a member of the Board of Governors (BoG) of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (2006—2011) and as Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems—I: Regular Papers (2010—2011). He will be General Co-Chair for IEEE BioCAS 2013, TPC Co-Chair for IEEE ISCAS 2014 and General Co-Chair for IEEE ISCAS 2015. Wouter A. Serdijn is an IEEE Fellow and mentor.
