Dr. Debdeep Sarkar of IISC Bangalore

Antennas are pivotal components in both communication and radar systems, serving as conduits for the transmission and reception of electromagnetic waves. As technological advancements drive the evolution of communication needs, antennas must adapt to meet the demands of futuristic applications. This abstract delves into the pivotal trends and advancements shaping antenna technology to enhance communication and radar systems for the future.

Future communication systems necessitate antennas with expanded bandwidth, efficiency, and reliability to support burgeoning data rates and connectivity requirements, especially with emerging technologies like 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT). Leveraging cutting-edge materials such as metamaterials and nanomaterials offers promising solutions. Metamaterial-based antennas, for instance, afford unparalleled control over electromagnetic wave propagation, enabling compact designs with superior performance attributes.
