| Fri 23 Oct 2026 15:00 - 16:00 |  Seminar: "Cloaking of Patch Antennas and Arrays with Coated Metasurfaces" - Dr Shefali Pawar, West Texas A&M UniversityCentre for Electronics Seminar Online Link Synopsis It is a well-known fact that antennas form the very core of modern wireless communication systems. As such, an escalating demand for increase in the wireless system capacity necessitates accommodation of densely packed antennas in a very compact space. However, a practical design of such dense antenna systems may not only be cumbersome but could also lead to the deterioration of the overall system performance, considering the fact that such a system may suffer... |
| Fri 2 Oct 2026 12:15 - 13:15 |  Seminar: "From Chip to System: A Holistic Approach to 2D Scalable Low-Loss D-Band Active Phased Array Realization", Prof Kamil Yavuz Kapusuz, IMEC and Ghent UniversityCentre for Electronics Seminar Online Link Synopsis The relentless demand for multi-gigabit wireless communication and high-resolution sensing drives rapid innovation in D-band (110–170 GHz) systems. However, realizing efficient and scalable active phased arrays at these frequencies remains challenging due to high cost, interconnect losses, packaging parasitics, and heterogeneous integration constraints. This talk presents a holistic, system-level approach to low-loss D-band phased array integration that... |
