Pune Hams monthly Eyeball QSO was heldon Sunday 1st September 2024 at Padmashree Electronics Pune
The meeting started with technical presentation on the Subject: Microstrip planar Antennas by Dr. Prutha Kulkarni
SWL Dr. Prutha Kulkarni
Dr. Prutha Kulkarni, with over a decade of research experience, specializes in antenna miniaturization and meta-materials for wireless applications.
Prutha said this technical session will delve into the intricate design principles and performance characteristics of microstrip planar antennas operating in the GHz frequency spectrum.
The talk covered the fundamental aspects of microstrip antenna theory, including impedance matching, radiation patterns, and bandwidth considerations specific to GHz frequencies.
Emphasis was placed on the materials and fabrication techniques that enhance antenna efficiency and minimize losses at these higher frequencies.
The discussions explored advanced applications of GHz microstrip antennas in cutting-edge technologies, such as millimeter-wave communications, satellite systems, automotive radar, and 5G networks.
Attendees gained a deeper understanding of how these antennas are optimized for high-frequency operations and the innovative solutions being developed to overcome challenges such as surface wave losses and mutual coupling.
The session concluded with an overview of emerging trends and future research directions in the field of high-frequency microstrip antenna design.
