Overview

The Antennas and Microwaves Research Group focuses on antennas and microwaves and specifically on the design and implementation of:
  • Reconfigurable antennas and filters using PIN diodes,
  • Wearable and implantable antennas using full wave simulation phantoms in both frequency and time domain,
  • Integration of passive sensors on antennas and RFIDs using inkjet printing technology, and
  • Nano-composite materials.
