About this Event

Host Organization: Faculty of Engineering and Design

FED Talks is a new speaker series from the Faculty of Engineering and Design that engages the community in discussions of timely and innovative ideas in engineering, design and technology.

Join Langis Roy, professor in the Department of Electronics, to discuss “How Safe is Wireless Technology? Innovations in Antenna Engineering”.

The wireless revolution continues unstoppably, with users wanting more data at ever increasing speeds. Such growth of video calls and wireless traffic is driving up the number of radio-frequency (RF) communicating devices, networks and cell sites everywhere. Does this present safety risks to the population and are technology developers doing anything to control RF exposure? In his talk, Langis Roy gives an overview of the link between wireless communications and health, and describes how innovations in antenna engineering – i.e. smart antenna systems – are playing an increasingly important role. He shows how some of the advanced technologies being developed at Carleton may find their way into future 4G/LTE networks. Questions and discussion will be held at the end.
