The research activity of the group consists of:
- Electromagnetic/circuital co-design of low-power miniaturized radio-frequency/millimetre wave systems embedding the antennas and exploiting non-conventional and eco-compatible materials, such as textiles, for IoT and wearable applications.
- Design of RF energy harvesting radiating systems both single band and multiband for energy-autonomous wireless sensors with application in industry automation and in localization.
- Wireless systems for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), in both hybrid and monolithic solutions.
- Wireless power transmission systems, both static and “on-the-move”, exploiting near- and far-field techniques, for different power levels (from few mW to kW) and operating frequency, for both industrial and biomedical applications.
- Analysis and design of advanced and highly reconfigurable radiating systems (able to realize beam-forming and beam-focusing) through time-modulation and frequency diversity techniques applied to the radiating elements.
- Development of algorithms for the circuital/electromagnetic analysis and design of entire radio-frequency/millimeter-wave links
The research activity is supported by an intense experimental activity, mainly carried out in the RFCAL lab – Laboratory of Radio-Frequency Circuits and Antenna design.
