Since their inception\, various methods have be en introduced to improve them. Most of the methods depend on the software that needs unlimited optimization runs\, which increases the antenna desig n's computation cost. Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) is the powerful analysis technique that made antenna structure easy to understand and com prehend. As it gives physical insight into the antenna's structure\, the a nalysis and design of the antenna may not need many optimization cycles. I t was first introduced in the 1970s\, but it was not till 2007 that this m ethod hit the modern world again for planar antenna design. The reason beh ind the unmatched success of this method was the details it gives about th e surface current behavior of the antenna in a user-friendly manner. Since then\, CMA (Characteristic Mode Analysis) has been successfully applied t o analyze planar structures and helps design and improve specific characte ristics of antennas. Most of my research focused on designing and optimizi ng the UWB antennas using CMA. CMA can fully illustrate antenna structure with a finite number of resonant modes. Hence\, it has the potential of si mplifying complicated and tedious antenna design procedures.\n\nThis talk will focus on the following: (a) Can characteristic modes analysis define the future of antenna design procedures by helping to reduce the complexit y of antenna design procedure? (b) the possibilities of producing the comp act and efficient antenna design using characteristic modes. (c) how surfa ce currents can be controlled to produce optimized antenna designs.\n\nCo- sponsored by: Ajay Poddar\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Mahrukh Khan\, Ph.D.\, \n\nAg enda: \nFuture of Antenna Design Procedures and Characteristic Mode Analys is\nTuesday\, May 17\, 2022\n6:00 PM | (UTC-04:00) Eastern Time (US & Cana da) | 3 hrs\n\n[Join WebEx meeting](https://ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieeemee tings/j.php?MTID=m119c87d46618adc5147ad53c09ac68f1)\n\nhttps://ieeemeeting s.webex.com/ieeemeetings/j.php?MTID=m119c87d46618adc5147ad53c09ac68f1\n\nM eeting number: 2530 588 7444\nMeeting password: hPKS3nNYi62\n\nJoin from a video system or application\nDial 25305887444@ieeemeetings.webex.com\nYou can also dial 173.243.2.68 and enter your meeting number.\nTo dial from a n IEEE Video Conference System: *1 2530 588 7444\n\nTap to join from a mob ile device (attendees only)\n[+1-415-655-0002\,\,25305887444##](tel:%2B1-4 15-655-0002\,\,*01*25305887444%23%23*01*) United States Toll\n[1-855-282-6 330\,\,25305887444##](tel:1-855-282-6330\,\,*01*25305887444%23%23*01*) Uni ted States Toll Free\n\nJoin by phone\n+1-415-655-0002 United States Toll\ n1-855-282-6330 United States Toll Free\n[Global call-in numbers](https:// ieeemeetings.webex.com/ieeemeetings/globalcallin.php?MTID=mc6ba448cc9a2187 93928e6e336d1a302) | [Toll-free calling restrictions](https://cisco.com/go /tollfree-restrictions)\n6:15pm Speaker and host test run\n\n6:30 pm : Int roduce speaker and talk begins\n\n7:30 pm : Talk concluding - open Q & A s ession\n\n8:00 pm : Final remarks and conclusion\n\nVirtual: https://event s.vtools.ieee.org/m/313636 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/313636 ORGANIZER:fcitarella@aol.com SEQUENCE:5 SUMMARY:Future of Antenna Design Procedures and Characteristic Mode Analysi s URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/313636 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Microstrip antennas are in massive demand for several emerging applications such as biomedical devices\, ultrawideba nd communication devices\, radar applications\, etc. Microstrip antennas a re inherently narrowband and low gain antennas.
