Embedded Antennas and Engineered Materials:

Ph.D. Student: Khan Shams

Brief Description:
My research focus is on antenna miniaturization

and performance improvement with the help of a

contact-less feed design and design and application

of metamaterials. I have performed Moment Method

Analysis of a cylindrical dipole surrounded by a

hypothetical homogeneous DNG (double negative)

metamaterial. I have also designed, fabricated and

tested various metamaterial structures

for antenna performance improvement.

 

Electrically Small Antennas and the Effects of their

Radiation on Humans:

Ph.D. Student: Abu Sayem
Brief Description:
Recent proliferation of wireless devices has

created a tremendous need for electrically

small antennas. I have already designed, fabricated

 and tested a fractal Hilbert slot antenna and a

miniature spiral diversity antenna for wireless

applications. The thrust of my research is to

design electrically small antennas and identify

safe power limits for them in order

to ensure SAR (specific absorption rate)

compliance with the regulatory standards.

 

 

 

 

 

Antenna Design using Space Filling Curves and Electromagnetic Bandgap structures

Ph.D. Student: Mohammed Azad

Brief Description:
With the widespread proliferation of telecommunication technology, the demand for integrated antennas inside the housing of wireless devices alone or integrated with engineered structures has increased significantly. I have designed, fabricated and tested miniature Hilbert PIFAs for 900/1900 MHz mobile phones, Hilbert IFAs for 2.4 GHz WLAN and high gain wideband printed dipole antennas on a mushroom EBG structure.

 

Wireless Sensing and Monitoring of Electric Ship Power System

Ph.D. Student: Rashed H Bhuiyan

Brief  Description:
Reliable operation of a power system requires continuous or sporadic monitoring in real time to detect and forecast aging status/faults in the system and active/reactive reconfiguration. This is crucial to ensure fight through capability and reduction in vulnerability of the system. The focus of this research is to explore, design and develop a fully automated novel monitoring system which will: (1) detect power system fault or incipient fault by probing the near fields with the help of miniature sensors, (2) communicate the obtained data wirelessly to the supervisory controller, and

Structural Health Monitoring using Wireless Embedded Sensors:
Ph.D. Student: Xiaohua Jin

Brief  Description:

My research focus is on designing and developing embeddable wireless sensors for the health monitoring of infrastructure.

 

Mobile Station Adaptive Antenna Technology
Ph.D. Student: Istvan Szini  

Brief  Description:
My work demonstrates a novel approach to minimize the hosing volume reduction impact on mobile antenna design. Utilizing the same antenna system and applying the principles of superposition I plan to develop a novel technique to reduce the electric fields near biological tissue while improving the antenna up-link performance characteristics.
