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.
