Advanced microwave materials demand special attention as they serve as the integral parts of high-end electronic devices targeted for the progress of communication technology. The core aspect of microwave communication technology is the efficient transmission and reception of information with ensured data security and lesser environmental impacts. The proper design and development of antennas are inevitable in achieving the aforementioned objectives.

Microwave Antennas

Antennas have remained an integral part of the communication network, from conventional telecommunication systems relying on electromagnetic energy to the advanced electronic devices integrated into the internet of things (IoT). We focus on the development of microwave antennas by suitable selection of materials, the adaption of processing techniques, and proper antenna designing to achieve minimum return loss, wide operational bandwidth, and high gain. The low loss dielectric materials, polymer-ceramic composites, and magnetodielectric materials processed via conventional solid-state sintering and energy-efficient cold-sintering are explored for the intended applications, where the designing part is assisted by ANSYS High-Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) software

Microwave attenuators ensure safe level operation of electronic equipment and data security by avoiding undesirable interference of electromagnetic radiation. Our research focuses on innovating inorganic-organic hybrid structures and advanced ceramic materials offering excellent electrical conductivity and magnetism for efficient energy attenuation. Achieving superior microwave absorption through attentive tailoring of the structure and morphology of materials is the key emphasis of the study, which extends to low-dimensional systems as well. Further, we are equally invested in bringing innovations in processing techniques and designing strategies to make microwave attenuators more convenient for applications.
