RF, Micro- and Millimeter-waves constitute a vital area of electrical engineering encompassing design, modeling, simulation, experimentation and analysis of single devices, circuits and packaging with applications to communications, imaging, radar systems and basic science.  Faculty and students are engaged in a range of basic and applied research projects that focus on the efficient generation, propagation and detection of electromagnetic energy in the frequency range from approximately 100 MHz to greater than 1 THz.   Topics of research include:

Radio frequency integrated circuits (RF IC)
High efficiency wide band gap circuits
Active microwave frequency multiplication networks
Integrated passive components
Millimeter-wave phased array antennas
Conformal 2 dimensional microwave antennas
Microfabricated millimeter-wave and THz vacuum electronics sources
Millimeter-wave passive and active imaging systems
RF/Microwave/Millimeter-wave packaging
Wireless chemical and bio-sensor nodes and reading systems
THz time-domain spectroscopy
