On-going research topics include...
1. Advanced next-generation antennas
○ Advanced reflectarray antennas
- World's smallest reflectarray antennas (more than 700 times smaller than the latest one)
- Active electrical beam forming and scanning
- Remarkably reduce size enough for commercial applications
○ Highly efficient Fabry-Perot cavity + artificial reflectors antennas
- Fabry-Perot cavity antennas consisting of partially reflecting surfaces (PRS)
- Extremely high aperture efficiency (, which means high gain with reduced physical size..
It's awesome :)
- Polarization reconfigurable antennas (horizontal ↔ vertical // linear ↔ circular polarization)
○ Mathematical transformation based intuitive antenna design
- Provides surprisingly new antenna design methodology, which has never been tried
- Various shaped antennas can now be designed accurately and precisely
2. Electromagnetic wave manipulation (control)
○ Metamaterial & metasurface technology
- Anomalous refraction, reflection, and transmission techniques
- Super-directive antenna applications
○ Radar cross-section (RCS) modulation technology
- Smart scatterers for various scattering control
