Wireless communications and RF/Microwave engineering are popular fields with great employment opportunities. For the last couple of decades, the number of wireless communication users has been exponentially growing, and the reach of wireless communications has been expanding to almost all corners of the world. Wireless communications have revolutionized telecommunications by continuously introducing new emerging services such as multimedia transmission, man-to-machine, and machine-to-machine communications. These emerging new services require increasingly more reliable, energy-efficient and high data rate communication systems and networks. The demand for emerging wireless services has fueled the development of advanced communication systems with new architecture, complex protocols, and advanced signal processing algorithms for efficient and effective data transmission and detection.

The applications for RF and microwave devices and circuits are growing at a high rate. Examples include new 5G wireless communications, Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) TV, Local Multipoint Distribution Services (LMDS, e.g., wireless cable TV and internet), wireless local area computer networks (WLANs), and future satellite communications systems. In addition, as microprocessor clock speeds continue to increase above the GHz range, electromagnetic and distributed effects are becoming increasingly important in the digital world as well. RF and microwave circuit design has been the key enabler for the growth and success in wireless communication.

The UW Bothell EE graduate curriculum includes courses on wireless, RF/Microwave and Telecommunications. B EE 517 and B EE 518 cover the basic and advanced concepts of wireless communications technologies, methods and algorithms. B EE 517 covers digital communication transmission and reception methods such as modulation, coding/decoding, wireless channel and design of optimum receivers, and B EE 518 covers advanced concepts such as equalization OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) systems. B EE 554 allows students to design, build and test various passive FR and microwave circuits on planar printed circuit boards and ceramic substrates. Future courses in these topics are currently being created. For deeper knowledge, students are encouraged to pursue B EE 600 Independent Study or B EE 700 Thesis with a faculty member.

Microwave Devices, Antennas and Systems Laboratory (MDASL)

Introduction.

Welcome to the Microwave Devices, Antennas and Systems Laboratory website. We are pleased to provide this website so that our visitors are afforded a more in-depth understanding of our laboratory, its research, and our teaching in the field of RF and Microwave engineering.

In addition to its extremely important function of providing a hands-on laboratory experience for students taking RF and Microwave courses such as EEC 132A, 132B, 132C, 228 and 289, this laboratory serves as an important research facility.

The Microwave Devices, Antennas and Systems Laboratory (MDASL) performs research in a broad spectrum of RF and Microwave active and passive devices. A partial list of the substantial MDASL research contributions is provided in the reference section (R.1) of this website. Please note that reference section 1 features active and passive microwave devices while reference section 2 focuses on antennas. Active and passive device topics currently under investigation at MDASL include GaN and SiC device modeling and the role of GaN and SiC in emerging RF systems. This is being pursued by researching GaN and SiC front end devices such as high efficiency GaN Power Amplifiers, high power high efficiency SiC and GaN frequency multipliers and low noise GaN amplifiers.

The second section of the references contains representative examples of the Antenna research projects which have been performed recently.

Currently, antenna research efforts are primarily focused on conformal arrays in the 18 and 3 GHz frequency range. Another antenna related effort concerns a dipole array direction finding system.

Antenna arrays offer numerous design advantages such as higher gain and directivity in comparison to single element antennas. There is a need for installing antenna arrays on non-planar surfaces such as those found in airplanes, missiles, vehicles, submarines, trains, satellites, etc…. The shape and geometry of conformal antenna arrays needs to be defined to form a conformal array to fit naturally on a prescribed curved surface of a practical shape. The need for conformal antennas is even more pronounced for the large-sized apertures that are necessary for functions like satellite communication and military airborne surveillance radars. Recently, numerical methods utilizing eigenfunctions such as FEM, FDTD, or MoM are difficult to characterize for electrically large structures with arbitrary surfaces. Therefore, our group has been developing a fast and generalized methodology to characterize and synthesize conformal array antennas with open-waveguides (OWG) and microstrip patches. This technique captures the main radiation and electromagnetism effects such as reflection/scattering, shadowing, and fringe current. We will present the measured and modeled radiation patterns of our reliable single OWG radiator model and representative example conformal antenna array structures. The model is also used for broad-banding purposes where both methodology and measured results are to be presented.

The Antenna research effort, which has been extensive, has just been considerably augmented by the recent donation of a large new 32 ft. commercially manufactured anechoic chamber to the MDASL laboratory. This instrument is depicted in the accompanying figure.

Among other advantages, this chamber (roughly estimated at $500K) will permit development of lower frequency antenna systems such as the dipole array DF system described below (please see the research section for more on this project).

Short Background and History

The Microwave Devices and Systems Laboratory has been under the leadership of Professor G. Rick Branner for over 30 years. The laboratory has been developed from an equipment base of several vintage slotted lines and an X band sweep generator into what today is arguably one of the finest academic facilities for education and research in RF and microwaves. The research laboratory is staffed by four PhD researchers with well over 90 years of combined experience in Microwave and RF engineering and Antenna analysis and design. In addition to 20 advanced level students utilizing the laboratory, at present there are a half dozen graduate students performing research.

The internationally renowned curriculum has produced many hundreds (~500) of RF and Microwave Engineers over the course of its existence. Our graduates are employed in many of California’s companies, which produce RF and Microwave products.

MDASL contributions to RF and Microwave education and research continue to be recognized and acknowledged by corporations such as Hewlett Packard, Agilent, Loral, Northrop Grumman and others. This has been exemplified by the over $3 million in donations and contributions our laboratory has received.

Field engineering summer internship shapes four students’ aerospace careers

Brenda Ellis

Sep 11, 2024, 4:38 PM

Vanderbilt engineering students Rais Nurhidajat, Jonathan Zak, Leo Brenes, and graduate student Andrew Noonan gained invaluable aerospace career experience this summer at the Vanderbilt Aerospace Design Laboratory ( VADL ). Their project, developing an autorotative lander, advanced their technical skills and provided a springboard for their future careers in the aerospace industry.

An autorotative lander slows itself down through spin much like a winged maple seed floats to the ground. Such a lander is energy efficient because it doesn’t need a motorized device or a parachute to reduce speed. Autonomous aerial vehicles with autorotative landers find applications in reconnaissance and surveying operations, especially in hazardous environments.

Brenes, set to pursue graduate study in Control and Dynamics Engineering at Caltech, said the project enhanced his understanding of flight stability and control. Nurhidajat, an ROTC student commissioning into the Army National Guard as an Apache helicopter pilot, gained crucial design and field engineering insights directly applicable to his future role.  Zak, preparing for graduate study in rocket airframe structural health monitoring at Vanderbilt, sees this experience as foundational for his upcoming collaborative project with NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center. Noonan, a master’s student who will graduate in spring 2025, is eager to be at the forefront of the contemporary space launch industry in leadership role.

“Finishing undergrad last year, I just felt there were more opportunities to learn and absorb that I did not want to leave on the table,” Noonan said. “My time at VADL has shaped my career aspirations and fostered an appreciation for  developing critical problem solving skills that will be useful in the Space Launch industry.”

The project, motivated by the NASA Student Launch Challenge , exemplifies the power of experiential learning in aerospace engineering. “Experiential learning is an invaluable component in aerospace engineering. We’ve been lucky to find practicing engineers and hobbyist-well-wishers in the Middle Tennessee community who have assisted us in field engineering tests in rocketry and drone flights that enrich our experiential program,” A.V. Anilkumar , Mark Dalton Director of Experiential Learning in Aerospace Engineering and director of VADL.

The students spent their summer working on the design of an autorotative lander designed to self-propel and land vertically when released from a height of 400 feet. The fast-paced design-to-build challenge allowed them to progress from conceptualization to product development and field testing, mirroring real-world aerospace engineering processes.

“Autorotation is a very important functional process in stabilizing a helicopter for emergency landing and there has been quite a bit of focus on this phenomenon. Taking the concept toward a product and field testing has been a great challenge for the students,” said Anilkumar.

Rais Nurhidajat explained the technical aspects: “The blades and their pitch on the autorotative lander have been selected such that they can optimally spin up and produce the necessary thrust to slow the 5-pound craft down for a stable flight and secure landing.” Nurhidajat said the project has given him practical insights that will be valuable as an Apache pilot.

Jonathan Zak added, “The design of the lander was stimulated by a research paper we read, and we’re very satisfied with the flight and its stability. We’ve fully understood the role of blade pitch, span and aspect ratio in determining flight trajectory and dynamics.”

About half of VADL alumni head to graduate school in aerospace engineering and the other half directly enter the contemporary space launch industry, according to Anilkumar.  “It has been inspiring to see so many VADL alumni go on to do amazing things in the space industry and I hope to follow in their footsteps,” Zak said.

Brenes continued working at VADL this summer because he was a rocket team member and wanted more experience before starting his PhD program. “I chose CalTech because of its academic excellence and its Jet Propulsion Laboratory that builds and operates many of NASA’s robotic missions.”

VADL, created in 2007, has entered a rocket in the NASA Student Launch Challenge since 2010 and won numerous awards . Other lab activities include presentation of project results at American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics student conferences and publishing research in select AIAA journals. VADL also represents the AIAA Student Chapter at Vanderbilt.
