The group deals with research, teaching and technology transfer in the area of electromagnetic field propagation and of communication and remote sensing systems that make use of electromagnetic waves. The research activities mainly concern:
-
Characterization of propagation at radio, millimeter waves, terahertz, and optical frequencies, with particular attention to MIMO applications (beamforming), systems for mobile communications, inter- / intra-chip communications, and to the development of scattering models
-
Deterministic prediction of radio propagation for radiolocation algorithms and wireless network design
-
Smart-city and energy efficiency as related to solar radiation and green communications
-
Efficient spectrum management and cognitive radio, electromagnetic exposure evaluation and protection
-
Macroscopic models and applications for reconfigurable Metasurfaces at radio and optical frequencies.
-
Propagation and Security. Propagation aspects of Quantum Communications.
