Dr Henry Giddens
Lecturer
School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science
Queen Mary University of London
Research
Antennas, Additive Manufacturing, Software Defined Radios, Antenna Measurement Techniques, EM Materials
Interests
My research interests include active antennas, antenna arrays and beam shaping through active and passive materials from microwaves to mm-waves. I have developed antenna structures through multi-material 3D printing. I also have an interest in Software Defined Radios and their applications in sensing, classifying and localising sources of RF emission. My current work is looking at comnining SDRs with novel RF front end and antenna arrays to provide new capabilities in these applications.
