Abstract:
After
allocation
of
specific
frequency
band
for
ultra
wideband
(UWB)
by
FCC
in
2002,
many
research
efforts
have
been
conducted
in
this
area.
Most
of
those
efforts
failed
of
market
competitions.
However,
in
spite
of
this
failure
in
commercial
communication
products,
UWB
has
survived
in
short
rage
radar,
identification
and
microwave
imaging
and
has
been
topics
of
many
research
efforts.
On
the
other
hand,
introducing
internet
of
things
(IoT)
as
an
upcoming
reality,
has
revived
UWB
in
commercial
markets.
UWB’s
unique
property
of
good
precision
in
real-time
location-finding
systems
and
its
simple
and
low
cost
radio,
has
made
it
as
a
promising
candidate
for
IoT
wireless
nodes.
The
talk
presents
some
of
the
research
efforts
of
our
group
in
using
UWB
technology
for
short
range
radar,
identification
and
positioning
for
IoT.
Biography:
Somayyeh
Chamaani
received
her
B.S.
degree
in
Electrical
Engineering
from
Sharif
University
of
Technology
in
2004
and
her
M.S.
and
Ph.D.
degrees
in
Electrical
Engineering
from
K.
N.
Toosi
University
of
Technology
in
2006
and
2011.
She
joined
K.
N.
Toosi
University
of
Technology
in
2011
as
an
Assistant
Professor
of
Electrical
Engineering.
Her
research
group
focuses
on
UWB
antennas;
UWB
identification;
UWB
sensing;
and
UWB
localization.
In
2015,
she
won
the
SBDC
grant
for
establishment
of
time
domain
electromagnetics
laboratory
which
is
dedicated
for
UWB
components
test
and
characterization.
Her
second
area
of
interest
is
body
area
applications
including
localized
hyperthermia
using
phased
array
antennas;
implant
to
off-body
channel
modeling
and
communications;
and
wearable
antennas.
