Talk Title: Zak-OTFS ⓠThe Waveform for Next Generation Communication Systems
Series: ECE Seminar
Abstract: In this talk we present our work based on signal representation in the delay-Doppler (DD) domain which gives rise to pulsones. The DD domain representation of any time-domain/frequency-domain signal is given by its Zak transform. Pulsones are simply quasi-periodic pulses in the DD domain whose interaction with a doubly-spread channel is stationary and non-fading when the pulse period along the delay axis is greater than the channel delay spread and the pulse period along the Doppler axis is greater than the channel Doppler spread, a condition we refer to as the crystallization condition. In Zak-OTFS modulation, information is carried by pulses in the DD domain. Due to the stationary input-output (I/O) relation of Zak-OTFS modulation, the effective DD domain channel can be acquired/estimated with negligible overhead, and the performance is robust to channel delay and Doppler spread.
Zak-OTFS modulation is therefore ideally suited for ubiquitous communication (e.g., satellite communication, aircraft communication, high speed train, where we encounter high Doppler spread). Machine learning (ML) can revolutionize wireless communication only if the interaction of the carrier waveforms with the channel varies very slowly in both time and frequency. Since Zak-OTFS renders a stationary I/O relation, it enables learning algorithms to achieve better resource allocation/precoding etc. Zak-OTFS waveforms are also suited for radar sensing. Appropriate DD domain signal processing allows for co-existence of communication and sensing signals with little cross-interference, i.e., integrated sensing and communication.
Our pioneering work on this new waveform is a paradigm shift in the way communication systems are designed and is expected to play a decisive role in the future of wireless communication. This work is presented in detail in our book titled “OTFS Modulation: Theory and Applications”, Wiley and IEEE Press, Nov. 2024.

Talk Title: Antimonide-based Narrow Bandgap Semiconductors for Infrared Technology and Quantum Information Science
Series: CA DREAMS - Technical Seminar Series
Abstract: Antimonide-based III-V semiconductors are a unique group of narrow bandgap materials with the maturity level to yield industrial-scale, high-quality devices while also serving as a platform for basic science investigations. Heterostructures made from these compounds feature small energy gaps, less than 0.3 eV, corresponding to optical transitions in the infrared and terahertz regimes. As a result, they have tremendous potential in applications such as detectors, lasers, photovoltaic cells, and spectroscopy. In the field of infrared detection and imaging, antimonide-based materials have emerged as a serious alternative to the incumbent state-of-the-art Mercury Cadmium Telluride due to its superior “–ilities”: uniformity, stability, scalability, manufacturability, affordability. Significant investment in the field of infrared detection over the past three decades has established a sustainable ecosystem for narrow bandgap III-Vs. This in turn provides a technological boost for the advancement of quantum information science with the realization of higher quality materials and better fabrication protocols for micro/nano quantum devices. These narrow bandgap compound semiconductors, comprised of heavy constituent atoms with large spin orbit coupling strengths, offer many advantages in spintronics and semiconductor-based qubit technologies. This talk will summarize HRL’s research and development activities in antimondide-based semiconductors for infrared and quantum applications.
Biography: Dr. Binh-Minh (Minh) Nguyen is a Senior Scientist/Group Manager in the Sensors and Electronics Laboratory at HRL Laboratories where he manages an R&D portfolio on antimonide-based semiconductor for infrared sensing technology and quantum materials. Nguyen received his Diplôme de l’Ecole Polytechnique and PhD in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University. His expertise includes device modeling/design, epitaxial growth, device fabrication and testing. Nguyen has authored/co-authored six book chapters and over 90 technical papers with over 4000 citations and an h-index of 41. He is a Fellow of SIPE and Senior Member of IEEE.
