Abstract:
In this talk, I will present radio frequency (RF) design solutions for wireless sensor nodes to solve
sustainability issues in the Internet of things (IoT), which arise due to the massive deployment of
wireless IoT nodes on environmental and economic levels. Engineers can apply these RF design
solutions to improve the ultra-low-power operation of IoT nodes, avoid batteries' eco-toxicity, and
decrease maintenance costs due to battery replacement. The presented solutions offer high
integration levels based on system-on-chip and system-in-package concepts in low-cost
complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technologies to limit costs and carbon footprints of
these nodes.
Within this research context, I will present solutions for ultra-low-power wireless communication
systems based on high frequency (HF) and ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio frequency identification
(RFID) technologies. In particular, I will present RF design solutions for HF and UHF RFID systems that
reveal how to develop passive miniaturized IoT nodes that operate robustly in harsh application
environments and how to create batteryless or rather passive IoT nodes, which provide passive
sensing capabilities and work robustly in their respective application environment.
Speaker biography:
Jasmin Grosinger (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Dipl.-Ing. (M.Sc.)
degree (Hons.) in telecommunications and the Dr.techn. (Ph.D.)
degree (Hons.) from the Vienna University of Technology, Austria, in
2008 and 2012. In January 2021, she received the Venia Docendi
(post-doctoral degree) in radio frequency and microwave engineering
from Graz University of Technology, Austria.
Since 2013, Prof. Grosinger has been with Graz University of
Technology, working on ultra-low-power wireless systems at the
Institute of Microwave and Photonic Engineering. In 2021, she was
elevated to an Associate Professor. From 2008 to 2013, she was a
Project Assistant with the Institute of Telecommunications, Vienna
University of Technology. She was a Laboratory Associate with Disney Research, Pittsburgh, USA, in
2011. In 2018, 2019, and 2021, she was a Guest Professor at the Institute of Electronics Engineering,
Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany. Prof. Grosinger has authored more
than 60 peer-reviewed publications and holds one US patent.
Prof. Grosinger is actively involved in the Technical Program and Steering Committees of various RF-
related conferences and is an Associate Editor of the IEEE MICROWAVE AND WIRELESS
COMPONENTS LETTERS. She is a member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society
(MTT-S) and the Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale Austria (Commission D). Within MTT-S, she
serves as a Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (Tatsuo Itoh DML class of 2022-2024), a member of
the IEEE MTT-S Technical Committees MTT-25 Wireless Power Transfer and Energy Conversion
Committee and MTT-26 RFID, Wireless Sensors and IoT Committee, and as the Vice-Chair of the
Women in Microwaves Sub-Committee of the Member and Geographic Activities Committee. In
2022, she is serving as the MTT-S AdCom Secretary.
