Gunhan DUNDAR Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Bogazici University, Istanbul, TURKEY E-mails: dundar@boun.edu.tr Abstract – Relentless scaling in silicon CMOS technology has enabled designers with applications and systems that were considered science-fiction only a decade ago. It is now possible to sense many different physical and chemical variables, convert them to digital, process them, and relay the data wirelessly using very little energy. Such developments have empowered technologies and applications like IoT, wireless sensor networks, health monitoring, among others. The common requirements for wireless communication in these scenarios are that the transceivers should be simple, energy efficient, integratable, and short range. Such requirements render these transceivers different from classical modulation based narrow-band communication systems. In this talk, two examples will be discussed. The first part of the talk will focus on Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter and receiver integrated circuit designs. The second part will describe two super regenerative receiver (SRR) integrated circuit design alternatives. |
 Professor Gunhan DUNDAR Biography - Professor Gunhan Dundar obtained his BS and MS degrees from Bogazici University, Istanbul, Turkey in 1989 and 1991, respectively, and his PhD from Rensselaer Poly- technic Institute, NY in 1993, all in Electrical Engineering. He has been lecturing at Bogazici University since spring 1994, teaching courses on Electronics, Electronics Lab, IC Design, Electronic Design Automation, and Semiconductor Devices. He has also given lectures at the Turkish Air Force Academy in spring 1994 on Computer Networks. During the period August 1994 - November 1995, he was with the Turkish Navy and taught courses on Electronics, Electronics Lab, and Signals and Systems at the Turkish Naval Academy. He was with EPFL, Switzerland between September 2002 and June 2003, and with Technical University of Munich in the spring of 2010, on sabbatical leave from Bogazici University. He has been holding the professor title since March 2002. He has received several awards, including the nationwide research encouragement award from TUBITAK. He is the author/co-author of more than 100 technical papers in international journals and conferences. Research interests: Analog IC design and electronic design automation. |
