The USC Microwave Engineering Laboratory  focuses on the following research topics

·      Broadband Directional Antennas using Engineered Materials

Broadbanding and efficiency enhancement of linear and circularly polarized antennas using engineered materials research and development. Novel wideband tunable materials research and development for conformal load bearing apertures.

 

·      Reconfigurable Antennas and Materials

Frequency, pattern, and polarization reconfigurable apertures for conformal applications.

 

·      Wireless Sensors and Sensing Systems

Wireless powered embedded sensing for infrastructure health monitoring. Issues related to sensing, powering, and data telemetry.

 

·      Temperature Rise and SAR in Human Phantoms due to EM Exposure

Electromagnetic exposure research (SAR and temperature rise) in both homogeneous and anatomically correct human head models. Antenna design for exposure reduction

 

·      Embedded Antennas (Diversity, MIMO, ESPAR)

Antenna design for mobile terminals (smartphone, laptops, Bluetooth, WLAN, GPS and other wireless applications). Miniaturization, gain enhancement, and electromagnetic exposure reduction. Efficient embedded antenna design using geometry optimization, material loading and strategic active device integration.
