Improved High-Rejection Filters and MEMS-Enabled Smart Reconfigurable Antennas, Phase I

Status: Completed

Start Date: 2008-02-06

End Date: 2009-02-05

Description: Proposed work envisions development of high-rejection filters and smart reconfigurable antennas using MEMS switches. Adaptive feature of the proposed antenna provides higher S/N ratio and extends range for surface-to-surface communications. Tunable high-rejection filters lend themselves easily to software defined radios.
