We combine state-of-the-art research with practical expertise to deliver powerful and reliable solutions for modern sensing, radar and communication systems.
Our products include innovative passive antennas, complete smart wireless communication modules (e.g., Wi-Fi, BLE) with adaptive antennas, beam-steering antenna arrays, programmable metasurfaces and compact mmWave radars (60/79 GHz) that enable high-performance wireless capabilities across diverse applications.
Applications include automotive, drones and UAVs, robotics, industrial sensing, automotive and mobility systems, telecommunications and defense.
What are Metamaterials ?
Metamaterials are artificial structures engineered to exhibit electromagnetic properties not readily found in natural materials, such as simultaneously negative relative permittivity (εr) and permeability (μr), which can result in a negative index of refraction and other unusual wave phenomena.
Metamaterials are typically implemented using periodic arrangements of conductive and dielectric elements with subwavelength unit-cell dimensions relative to the operating wavelength.
The unit-cell geometry and periodicity determine the structure’s effective electromagnetic response as a function of frequency.
Metasurfaces are electrically thin implementations of metamaterials, where the electromagnetic response is controlled using a single layer or a small number of stacked layers rather than a volumetric structure.
