Advanced Materials for Antenna and Related Applications

There have been significant research advancements and material explorations over the past decade in the area of non-simple media.  Simple media is typically assumed to be linear, spatially homogeneous, spatially local, time invariant, time non-local (i.e., temporally dispersive), and reciprocal.  It is not uncommon nowadays to see researchers getting outside the box of simple media and investigating nonlinear materials, non-isotropic materials, time varying materials and new corresponding applications including meta materials and meta surfaces.  This year’s short course provides an introduction into this exciting new area in antenna and related measurement technologies.

Attendance at the Short Course is limited
Space will be filled on a first come, first served basis,
