Novel THz multi-beam sparse array concept, exploiting true time delay metamaterial lenses and air-filled-substrate-integrated-waveguide technology Ghent University
This project aims to establish a new class of sparse antenna arrays based on metamaterial lens topologies to resolve the increased power dissipation of the typically highly dense phased array systems. In doing so, highly directive, steerable and efficient array operation can be extended into the THz-range, enabling ultra-high data rate, ultra-low latency systems required for 6G, autonomous vehicles, AR/VR.

Nanophotonic beam steering elements by means of silicon chips for wireless optical communication Ghent University
An integrated approach will be developed in which beam steering elements will be integrated with other elements such as modulators. The approach will be concentrated around the 'silicon-photonics' platform with SOI (silicon-on-insulator) substrate. Beam steering will be achieved by means of a phased array of diffraction elements connected by waveguides and phase modulators with an on-chip laser or detector.
Increasing the Accuracy and Speed of EMI Near-Field Scanning KU Leuven
Developing an electronic product that is compliant to the EMC Directive "right-first-time" proves to be a hard challenge due to the increasing speed and decreasing size of electronics. Over the last years, near-field scanning has been proposed as a powerful tool to help designers to make EMC-compliant products more efficiently.
A near-field scanner measures the electromagnetic near fields emitted by an electronic device by moving a ...
Widely parallel active potentiostat for accelerating electrochemical experiments (PACTIOSTAT) Ghent University
In PACTIOSTAT, which is a collaborative effort between UGent and KU Leuven, we want to further develop our unique high throughput potentiostat array and its software. This array enables high throughput electrochemical analysis of electroactive microorganisms, and it consists of 3 parts: the widely parallel potentiostat, a custom made electrode array (microelectrodes) and a dedicated software enabling tailored analyses. Recently we have ...
Design and implementation of photonic-enabled large-scale active antenna systems for fifth-generation wireless communication systems and beyond Ghent University
The current 4G system already exploits the available bandwidth optimally. The stringent demands of the 5G wireless communication system, the Internet-of-Things and future aerospace applications require either larger bandwidths, only available at mm-wave frequencies, or the deployment of multi-antenna systems at a massive scale. We propose an innovative generic design
procedure for the pervasive integration and implementation of ...

Theoretical and experimental investigation of thermal AC analyses with applications in microelectronics Ghent University
The use of AC heat sources, who are varying sinusoidally in function of time, will be analysed. A first application is dealing with the spatial distribution of the heat transfer coefficient through the use of phase measurements. A second application involves the introduction of a fluctuating heat source in a focal plane array thermographic camera.
