The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at UW-Madison was well represented at the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting in July. ECE students and faculty were presenters and participants at the six day conference in Portland, Oregon. The conference showcases the most advanced research on antennas, propagation, electromagnetic engineering, and radio science.

UW-Madison ECE students visit the Antennex booth at the exhibitor fair. Antennex is a startup co-founded by Professor Daniel van der Weide that develops the hardware and software for analyzing mm-wave antennas in packages, which are rapidly becoming the way in which mobile devices are linking to the world.
Yu Huang presenting at IEEE conference
UW-Madison ECE Postdoc Yu Huang delivers his research presentation, “X-band Field Mapping System for Antenna Pattern Measurements: Can it Work on a Benchtop?” at the conference.
Yuchen Gu presenting at IEEE Conference 2023
UW-Madison ECE PhD student Yuchen Gu delivers his research presentation, “Deep Learning Accelerated Antenna Radiation Pattern Prediction for Undersampled Near-Field to Far-Field Transformation”. Gu was awarded a $5000 2022 Antennas and Propagation Society Fellowship to support his research.
