Research

The Applied Electromagnetics and RF Circuits (AERFC) Research Center’s research program is focused on advancing next-generation wireless and sensing technologies. Core areas of expertise include sensors and devices for RF/uW/THz applications, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), metasurfaces and metamaterials, antennas and RF systems for mobile and IoT platforms, beamforming techniques for 5G/6G systems, novel RF amplifier topologies, and advanced RF linearization methods. The Center pioneers the integration of artificial intelligence into the field, with AI-based modeling approaches for high-power RF/microwave systems as well as AI-driven RF measurement and instrumentation methodologies. 

The AERFC Research Center is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure to support cutting-edge experimentation and prototyping. Facilities include a precision anechoic chamber covering 18–95 GHz, THz measurement and imaging systems (TeraFlash Pro), an extensive suite of RF test equipment (including network and spectrum analyzers and advanced characterization devices), probe stations and EM CAD tools. Additionally, the center maintains in-house fabrication capabilities for planar and multilayer RF and antenna systems, including RIS platforms.
