Project description

In this project we develop novel microwave integrated circuits on textile materials by making use of substrate integrated waveguide technology. We first deal with the specific modelling challenges of these structures. Next, a dedicated design formalism is developped. Finally, dedicated fabrication technologies are implemented for the accurate construction of prototypes.
