Synopsis:
Filters and antennas are indispensable passive components for RF fronts-ends in modern communication systems. With the on-going development of 5G, mobile networks and new generations of satellite platforms, which are the backbone of many emerging applications such as Internet-of-Things (IoT) and Internet-of-Space (IoS), 3D printing or additive manufacturing has recently been seen as an enabling technology for future RF/microwave components to meet stringent requirements for system applications. Additive manufacturing (AM) is revolutionizing how RF/microwave components are designed and manufactured. This all presents a great opportunity and a potentially large market for using and commercializing metal 3D printing technology in this field.
The PhD work is to cooperate with Renishaw company, the only UK business that designs and makes industrial machines that ‘print’ parts from metal powder, to tackle great scientific/engineering challenges. This involves electromagnetic simulation and design of RF/microwave components, prototype hardware manufacturing and experimental demonstration.
Biography:
Jiayu Rao received the 1st honor M.Sc. degree in Electronics Science and Technology from the China University of Mining and Technology (CUMT), in 2018. He is currently pursuing the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering at Heriot-Watt University (HWU).
