Applied Electromagnetics & Propagation (AEP)

We are a team of researchers working on classical and quantum electrodynamics applied to the study of antennas, and guided and free-space wave propagation, scattering and diffraction. 

A telecommunications towerOur work addresses the needs of future communications and sensing systems. We are led by Professor Costas Constantinou.

We have extensive expertise in radiowave propagation modelling and measurements from the UHF to THz bands, in proposing, simulating, and conducting detailed measurements on novel waveguiding structures, and in theoretical, computational and experimental assessment of antenna technologies ranging from wire to quasi-optical antennas.
