Graduate students are involved in all of our research activities and have access to state-of-the-art facilities, such as the electromagnetic anechoic chamber, the wireless communications lab and the integrated circuit fabrication cleanroom. Some programs offer students theoretical approaches for the design of communication systems, while others include the implementation of wireless communication devices, such as the circuits in cell phones.
Faculty members in the electromagnetics group are involved in researching many areas of applied electromagnetics, including metamaterials; smart antennas; beamforming and scanning techniques; flexible antennas; miniature, wideband and reconfigurable antennas; tunable and reconfigurable microwave circuits; RF microelectromechanical systems; biomedical applications; metamaterials; and fast computational electromagnetic methods.
With the support of the semiconductor industry and government agencies, these centers have established a state-of-the-art educational program in very large-scale integration (VLSI) design, modeling, mixed-signal and radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits design.
