The research activities of the Communications Research Group are directed towards advanced communications technologies and systems for high-frequency and/or high data-rate wireless systems operating from radio frequency (RF) to Terahertz (THz) frequencies.
The group is actively involved in a number of national and international projects and has an international reputation. Recent projects are involved with photonics and fibre-wireless convergence; mini-antenna/RF identification (RFID)/frequency selective surface (FSS) design; smart antenna, space antennas and RF/microwave/mm-wave circuit design; cloud mobile technologies; fifth generation (5G) mobile communications. The group is well equipped with a wide range of laboratory and computing facilities and diverse software packages for teaching and research support.
