Wireless Devices and Electromagnetics Laboratory

The mission of the Wireless Devices and Electromagnetics (WiDE) Lab is to advance the state of the art of wireless circuits and antennas (up to mm-wave frequencies) while educating the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs in this domain.

In order to improve the performance of wireless devices, lab individuals perform focused research on:

• Material engineering
• Novel manufacturing techniques
• Optimized antenna and circuit geometries
• Other concerns related to the real-world implementation of high-performance wireless devices

Laboratory researchers have expertise on a wide range of topics in avionics and aerospace communications and sensing, including RADAR, satellite communications, and UAS Sense and Avoid.
