We present the successful operation of the first dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) driven tunable millimeter-wave phase shifter. The development of dynamically reconfigurable microwave/millimeter-wave (MW/MMW) antenna devices is becoming a prime need in ...
In recent years, an increasing number of pioneering studies have been carried out in the field of acoustic metamaterials, following the path of electromagnetic metamaterials. These artificial engineered materials are designed in such a way so as to achieve ...
We develop concepts for engineering multi-resonant infrared plasmonic antennas. We utilize these antennas in conjunction with a perfect absorber geometry to simultaneously enhance mid-infrared vibrational resonances separated by 3 mu m in in monolayer poly ...
In this paper, an overview of recent theoretical investigations and experimental characterization of the electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of a tower struck by lightning is presented. The presence of an elevated strike object has been included in two ...
Originally demonstrated with electromagnetic waves, supercoupling describes the extraordinary matched transmission, energy squeezing, and anomalous quasistatic tunneling through narrow channels. This behavior is the result of impedance matching achieved wh ...
Advances in reflectarrays and array lenses with electronic beam-forming capabilities are enabling a host of new possibilities for these high-performance, low-cost antenna architectures. This paper reviews enabling technologies and topologies of reconfigura ...

We present the acoustic equivalent of supercoupling through subwavelength channels. Extraordinary matched transmission, energy squeezing and anomalous quasistatic tunnelling through narrow channels are obtained for acoustic waves by designing a 2D, density ...
This thesis was carried out within the framework of a scientific cooperation project entitled “Application of High Power Electromagnetics to Human Safety” developed by the EPFL, the National University of Colombia and Los Andes University, Colombia. The pr ...
This paper outlines the development of an electronically steerable receive-only array antenna realized within a project funded by the European Space Agency (ESA): the NATALIA project. The antenna has been designed for the reception of mobile satellite serv ...
This work presents novel techniques for producing substrates for flexible antennas. The technique we propose is based on the use of an already existing and widely used substrate material Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), where the dielectric properties of the s ...
