IEEE Queensland Section

IEEE President, Prof. Kathleen Kramer, will be visiting Brisbane on February 24th. This is a unique opportunity for our Queensland members to meet the IEEE President in person and hear directly from her as she introduces herself, discusses her leadership approach, and outlines her priorities for 2025. Additionally, this event offers members the chance to ask questions that are relevant to the Queensland community. To ensure broader accessibility, the event will be held in a hybrid format, with a strong encouragement for members to attend in <a href="http://person.Bio" target="_blank" title="person.Bio">person.Bio -[]Kathleen A.

Abstract: This talk will provide an in-depth exploration of state-of-the-art compact and wideband circularly polarized (CP) microstrip antennas, with a focus on recent advancements in metasurface-based CP antenna technologies. The discussion will cover cutting-edge design methodologies, innovations, and the impact of these antennas across emerging wireless applications. By leveraging metasurfaces in the antenna architectures, significant improvements can be achieved in key performance metrics such as gain, axial ratio bandwidth, and miniaturization, all while preserving superior CP radiation characteristics. These next-generation antennas offer broad operational bandwidths, making them indispensable for advanced communication systems, satellite communications, and other high-performance wireless technologies. This talk aims to provide the audience with a comprehensive understanding of the latest techniques driving the future of CP antenna design and their crucial role in shaping next-gen wireless <a href="http://infrastructure.Speaker(s):" target="_blank" title="infrastructure.Speaker(s):">infrastructure.Speaker(s): Dr.Nasimuddin , Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/468368
