Event Description
- Full Description:
- This talk originated as a recruitment pitch – it is aimed at graduate (and advanced undergraduate) students who are preparing for, or are considering, a career in the field of RF and microwave engineering. The complete talk consists of three parts, addressing the three questions in its title.
What is RF and Microwave Engineering: how and why it is different from low-frequency or optical engineering; what are its theoretical underpinnings; to what applications is microwave engineering put, and what makes microwaves particularly suitable, or even unique, in those applications; why is it necessary to study electromagnetic theory even if all you want to do is “just design circuits”.
What are the Frontiers of the Field: what is the present state-of-the-art in this field, and the challenges for the future; what technological developments and newer applications are driving the future evolution of the field; what are some of the open research problems; how the practice of microwave engineering is likely to change in coming decades.
How does it Contribute to Quality of Life: how microwave engineering meets the human needs of communication, safety and security, decontamination and environmental remediation, health and biomedical applications, agriculture and food treatment; material processing; power generation and transmission; space exploration; material processing; and the generation, transport, and efficient utilization of electrical energy.
A free lunch will follow this event.
