FROM MAXWELL’S EQUATIONS TO MODERN ANTENNA MARVELS: FROM TINIEST CAPSULE ANTENNAS TO LARGEST SPACE ANTENNAS| Session Chairs: | Sembiam Rengarajan, Yahya Rahmat-Samii |
High performance communication and radar systems are constantly pushing the envelop for novel antenna developments. Modern antennas are required to be reconfigurable, and exhibit multifunction and multiband performance. They look more like a composite device and very different from classic antennas. Antennas optimized for near field radiation, wearable unobtrusive textile antennas, transparent antennas, compact arrays for MIMO systems and diversity schemes, high efficiency antennas for device-to-device communications, low-cost phased arrays for high-date-rate mobile-to-satellite communications, compact antennas for miniaturized biomedical devices, multi-beam airborne and satellite antennas, and large spacecraft antennas at millimeter wave frequencies and beyond. These are just a few examples of what the system developers are asking for the next generation antennas. These performance demands are stimulating an intense research activity on novel artificial materials and advances in antenna/material characterization as well. This session intends to address recent advances in antenna developments and applications including future outlook.
