Research Highlights

2016 NSF REU Students
Ohio State University students Mahnoor Naqvi and Spandan Shah are two researchers working with our RF Microsystems team during the summer of 2016 under National Science Foundation (NFS) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program. Mahnoor... | LEARN MORE
Fun Day at ESL
December 15, 2016
ESL Community Building Commitee organized a nice Happy Hour on Dec 14 called "ESL Holiday Dessert and Ugly Sweater Open House". It was fun!

Reconfigurable Antennas and RF Components at Millimeter Wave
Reconfigurability is a vital feature of future agile millimeter wave systems for sensing, imaging, wireless, and satellite communications. Reconfigurable antennas are an integral part of such systems as they can control polarization, frequency, radiation pattern, or characteristic impedance. .... | LEARN MORE
3D Printed Antennas
Undergradudate researcher Reeve Lambert designed anntennas operating at 16 and 22 GHz and fabricated them using table-top 3D printers. First three pictures below show two examples of fabricated corrugated conical horn antennas. This work was followed... | LEARN MORE
Electrical Characterization of Novel Materials
Understanding material properties (dielectric constant and loss tangent) are crucial in designing next-generation antennas and RF components at millimeter wave (30-300 GHz) and terahertz (>300 GHz) bands. Our group uses free-space techniques for accurate... | LEARN MORE
Implantable Pulmonary Artery Banding for Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart diseases (CHD) affect nearly 1% of – or about 40,000 – births per year in the United States. Among them, about 25% of newborns are in critical condition and need surgery or other procedures in the first year of life. Pulmonary... | LEARN MORE
Phase Change Materials for RF Microsystems
In the past we have used vanadium dioxide (VO2) films to develop reconfigurable terahertz filters (known as frequency selective surfaces or metmaterial) operating in approximately 500GHz band. VO2 belong to a group known as insulator-to-metal (ITM) or phase change materials (PCM). | LEARN MORE
