Low frequency Wireless Power Transfer to Power Remote Wireless Sensor Nodes
Wireless power transmission technologies (WPT) are rapidly expanding, particularly for wireless charging of electrical systems (mobile phones, electric cars, etc.) but also for powering centimeter-scale wireless sensor nodes. The aim of the thesis is to study the performance and optimization of a new electrodynamic system concept recently proposed in our laboratory. The operation of this […] >>

Programmable electromagnetic (meta)surfaces at sub-THz frequencies
Spatiotemporal manipulation of the near- and far-electromagnetic (EM)-field distribution and its interaction with matter in the THz spectrum (0.1-0.6 THz) is of prime importance in the development of future communication, spectroscopy, imaging, holography, and sensing systems. Reconfigurable Intelligent (Meta)Surface (RIS) is a cutting-edge hybrid analogue/digital architecture capable of shaping and controlling the THz waves at […] >>

mmW local oscillator signal generator with integrathed phase shifting capabilites
The most innovative communication systems for beyond 5G and future 6G applications have to face a number of challenges related to the trade-offs between link range, power consumption and data-rate. A growing interest is put on radio frequency circuits operating at mmW and sub-THz bands because at those frequencies there are large portions of available […] >>

Management of Spectre and Meltdown information leaks in a RISC V application processor
Since 2018 and the announcement of the Spectre and Meltdow vulnerabilities, the hard-won performance gains of desktop and server processors over the past few decades have been called into question. These vulnerabilities effectively exploit the speculative and out of order execution found in all modern processors to gain in the number of instructions performed per […] >>

Horizontal Magnetic Pulses and the Impact of Ultrafast Transient Current on Hardware Security of SoCs
Work carried out within the CEA-Leti has shown that physical attacks can be a threat to the security mechanisms of SoCs (System-On-Chips). Indeed, fault injections by electromagnetic disturbance have already led to an elevation of privileges by authenticating with an illegitimate password, or more recently have made it possible to circumvent one of the highest […] >>
