Exploring Electrically Conductive Materials for Next- Generation Reconfigurable Reflectarrays
Join us for the dissertation defense of Saige Dacuycuy, where he will present his research on reconfigurable reflectarrays for 5G and beyond wireless communications. His work explores the use of novel electrically conductive materials , including graphene nanoplatelets, metallic thin films, and Galinstan liquid metal , as alternatives to traditional semiconductor components in reflectarray design. These devices aim to improve signal coverage in environments where high-frequency 5G signals struggle with propagation loss and blockage, offering a low-cost solution for dynamic, non-line-of-sight wireless communication.
