Building on our recent developments with low-loss reconfigurable metasurfaces, we are researching new enabling technologies for 5G systems which will deliver analogue and reconfigurable beam-steering antenna designs that operate with low-losses in the millimetre-wave band.

Beam Scanning Metasurface-based Low-Loss Millimetre-wave (60GHz) antenna performance
In collaboration with the University of Surrey, we are developing theoretical models and requirements of future wireless networks along with research into tuneable mm-wave components, hybrid phased array antennas, reconfigurable metasurface based antennas and resource optimisation.
