Large LEO constellations and multi-orbit satellite systems have recently emerged as complex network architectures that provide and enhance a range of satellite services e.g. ubiquitous broadband internet, direct to handheld, satellite IoT etc. The current talk reviews the current capabilities of such systems from a communication perspective and describes the challenges of applying key technological enablers in space. In addition, we present a vision about future research topics of long-term importance in the area of Satellite Communications and Non-Terrestrial Networks.

You are invited to attend the 7th Montreal Photonics Networking Event on Friday 1st December 2023. The Montreal Photonics Networking event was formed in 2015 as an annual event to address the lack of a coordinated city-wide network for research student exchange. The event’s mission is to bring together graduate students to (1) establish a way for students to discuss life as a photonics researcher, (2) enhance research synergies, and (3) connect with the industry for further career development. ----------------- Le Montreal Photonics Networking Event a été créé en 2015 en tant qu'événement annuel pour répondre à l'absence d'un réseau coordonné pour les étudiant.e.s en recherche. La mission de l'événement est de rassembler les étudiant.e.s aux études graduées pour (1) permettre aux étudiant.e.s d'échange sur la vie de chercheur.e en photonique, (2) améliorer les synergies de recherche, et (3) rencontrer des représentant.e.s de l'industrie pour développer de nouvelles perspectives de carrière Speaker(s): Marie-Josée Turgeon, Agenda: - 10:30-11:00: registration & poster set-up - 11:00-12:00: Poster session #1 dedicated to Dr. Andrea Rovere - 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM: Networking, lunch, & Chair Welcome - 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM: Industry plenary speaker - 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM: Montréal photonics fair & poster session #2 - 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Student Speed-networking - 4:00 PM – 4:30 PM: announcement of presentation competition winners and closing speech. - 4:30 PM – 6:30 PM: Social networking Room: AUDITORIUM A-1600, Bldg: Pavillion A, 1100 Notre-Dame St W , Montréal, Quebec, Canada, H3C 1K3

The TT&C is a critical function that ensures the spacecraft system operates properly, by sending Telecommand, receiving Telemetry, and doing tracking for the orbit determination. Although the TT&C engineering for LEO satellites is well consolidated, when it comes to the design of TT&C subsystems for low-latency and large networks there are several open research directions. This seminar will provide an overview of the main challenges that are faced when designing the TT&C for such kind of networks, taking as main reference Mega-constellations and IoT for the Earth Observation. The level of technical details will be provided in a style to help attendance to get familiar with the topic, thus making the seminar accessible also to engineers outside the specialty of TT&C.

The ability of electromagnetic waves to penetrate through various building materials, together with advances in design of ultra-wideband compact radar modules, has made see-thru-wall technology, also known as Through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI), of increasing importance in a wide range of both civilian and defense applications. In this lecture, an overview of various TWRI technologies, including the latest research in several areas important in the design of TWRI systems, will be presented. Electromagnetic-based techniques for wall parameter estimation to mitigate the adverse wall effects and enhance the efficient imaging and classification of targets within and/or behind walls will be discussed. For efficient imaging, details of fast polarimetric and tomographic based imaging algorithms for both 2D and 3D scenarios will be given, and imaging results for various realistic scenarios using both numerical simulations and laboratory measurements will be presented, Development of wideband and ultrawideband antenna arrays, which are essential in successful implementation of see-thru-wall technology, together with hardware descriptions of two constructed portable systems will conclude the presentation. Throughout, I will include a personal perspective from my own two-decade journey in this interdisciplinary research area.

The problem of imaging of objects within or through multilayered dielectric media appears in many areas, including those in ground-penetrating radar (GPR) imaging, through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI), intra-wall and subsurface imaging, and medical imaging. These general areas cover many important defense and civilian applications such as those in counterterrorism and law enforcement operations, firefighting, earthquake rescue missions, detection of buried subsurface objects and minerals in GPR, millimeter wave imaging of concealed weapons and contraband carried by personnel, to name a few. In many situations, however, the dielectric media induce shadowing effects on targets, resulting in image degradation and errors in geo-locating or, possibly, complete masking of targets. Furthermore, in most practical situations the imaging of targets should be done in real-time, requiring the development of fast data acquisition schemes as well as highly efficient microwave imaging techniques that can fully account for wave propagation through various dielectric layers or walls. In this lecture, a comprehensive overview of various image reconstruction techniques for objects in stratified media will be given for both SAR-based and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) based systems, and for both real-time imaging and sparsity-based imaging scenarios. For the former, we will describe the use of efficient 2D and 3D Diffraction Tomography (DT) techniques which use first order Born approximation together with successive implementations of spatial fast-Fourier transform (FFT) and inverse-FFT (IFFT), to arrive at high-resolution images. Such fast-imaging techniques, however, do not address the problem posed by long data acquisition time associated with most microwave-imaging scenarios. To address this problem, assuming a sparse target space, one can resort to the use of Compressive Sensing (CS) to significantly reduce the number of antennas and/or collected frequency points. In our implementation of CS, the wall or multilayered media effects are accurately and efficiently accounted for in the sparse-image reconstruction through the use of approximate expressions for the Green’s functions of multi-layered lossy dielectric medium. In particular, the use of total variation minimization (TVM) and its advantages over the l1-norm minimization, which is often used in the standard radar implementation of CS, will be detailed. Numerical and experimental results for DT-based and CS-based radar imaging in various GPR and TWRI scenarios will be given in the presentation.

An InAs/InP quantum-dash mode-locked laser (QD-MLL) with phase-locked comb lines is an excellent optical source and a microwave source for, respectively, optical and wireless transmission. In this talk, a duplex radio over fiber (RoF) link using a QD-MLL for RoF transmission is reported. A few implementation issues including phase noise impairment, MIMO transmission, and photonic integrated implementation will be discussed. RoF links with integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) functions for next generation wireless communications (6G) applications will also be discussed. Laser à verrouillage de mode InAs/InP tirets quantiques (Quantum-Dash) pour radio duplex sur liaisons fibre optique Un laser à verrouillage de mode quantique InAs/InP (QD-MLL) avec des lignes de peigne à verrouillage de phase est une excellente source optique et une source micro-ondes pour, respectivement, la transmission optique et sans fil. Dans cet exposé, une liaison radio duplex sur fibre (RoF) utilisant un QD-MLL pour la transmission RoF est rapportée. Quelques problèmes de mise en œuvre, notamment la dégradation du bruit de phase, la transmission MIMO et la mise en œuvre photonique intégrée, seront abordés. Les liens RoF avec des fonctions intégrées de détection et de communication (ISAC) pour les applications de communications sans fil (6G) de nouvelle génération seront également abordés.
