He gave several Short courses in USA, Asia and Europe on Microwave and Antenna engineering.
Abstract
Communication, medical and cellular industry is in continuous growth in the
last few years. Low profile compact antennas are crucial in the development of
Wearable human systems. Several wearable antennas will be presented in the course.
Design considerations, computational results and measured results on the human body
of several compact wideband printed antennas with high efficiency
will be presented in the course.
Course outline
The course will cover the following topics, accompanied with comprehensive notes :
- Microstrip wearable antennas
- Loop wearable antennas
- Helix wearable antennas
- Antennas S11 Variation as Function of Distance from Body
- Tunable antennas
- Applications of wearable antennas
- Wearable Systems
