Engineering
Work description
1. Identification of the waveguides to be used based on the frequency of interest. 2. Selection of conductive inks and substrates, typical for antennas or alternative ones such as glass, with a focus on sustainable materials and manufacturing techniques suitable for the application. 3. Design (using electromagnetic simulation software) and fabrication of test samples of unit cells of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, with dimensions appropriate for the selected waveguides. 4. Planning of the experimental setup to support characterization, including the design and fabrication of necessary fixtures for measurements. 5. Performing the experimental characterization of the fabricated test samples using the prepared experimental setups. 6. Implementation in Matlab of data post-processing algorithms required to obtain the electrical parameters of the conductive inks and substrates. 7. Prepare submission of a scientific article. 8. Write the grant activity report.
