Electromagnetics
Enable 'electromagnetic engineering' by developing new modeling strategies for analysis and synthesis of a range of applications, e.g. antenna systems, medical electromagnetic stimulation and metrology used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment. In addition, we develop new facilities for experimental research in the area of antennas and wireless communications systems.
We are the leading academic group in applied electromagnetic research in the Netherlands
Internationally, the Netherlands has a unique position in applied electromagnetic research, housing major players in areas like wireless communications, astronomy, radar, space technology, bio-electromagnetics, optical fibers and components, RF technology, and lithography. To design such applications, the electromagnetic field needs to be analyzed and optimized in complicated three-dimensional configurations. The EM group contributes to this position by developing new modeling strategies that enable the analysis and design of complex three-dimensional structures that are representative of these applications, and applying state-of-the art modeling to applications suggested by our partners, with whom we maintain long-ranging collaborations.

Smart antennas: creating fast 5G connections with databeams
Are you ready for the superfast 5G network? Watch this video to see the new, smart antennas TU/e develops to realize this massive increase in capacity. TU/e not only focuses on the development of antennas, electronics and algorithms, but also on creating measuring devices for lab- and field tests and viability studies in collaboration with industry. Making sure this smart network will be feasible, safe and affordable.
Meet some of our Researchers
State-of-the-art Lab facilities
The Center for Wireless Technology (CWTe) facilitates research on wireless systems and antennas, raising the Internet of Things to a higher level.
Our lab includes unique facilities to test antenna systems up to frequencies of 140 GHz. We have anechoic facility with a planar near-field scanner which operates in the frequency range of 1-90 GHz. This facility can be used to test a wide range of antennas systems, like phased-arrays and focal-plane arrays. Next to this, we have developed a unique millimeter-wave facility to test highly-integrated antenna systems, like Antenna-on-Chip (AoC) and Antenna-in-Package (AiP). This facility supports probe-based measurements.

Education
Check out all our courses
Within the Electromagnetics group students can work on projects at several stages of their development, e.g. in BSc endprojects, internships, and external projects at companies or institutes, domestic or abroad.
Furthermore the group offers many interesting MSc graduation projects, many in close cooperation with industry and research institutes. For more information, please contact Prof. Bart Smolders (a.b.smolders@tue.nl) or Dr. Rob Mestrom (r.m.c.mestrom@tue.nl).
It is the aim to link these projects to exciting existing or future research projects.
For international students
With the launch of the MOOC Microwave Engineering and Antennas in 2020 the new 'MicroMasters Wireless Technologies' program was introduced. This program consists of two online master courses, the second RF and millimeter-Wave Circuit Design has been launched in 2021.
The MicroMasters provide international students the opportunity to gain expertise in the fast developing area of 5G and 6G wireless communications. In addition, they can obtain 15 educational credits (ECTS). These credits can be used in the future when students start their Master at TU/e in Electrical Engineering. The development of the MicroMasters is funded/supported by the BOOST program of TU/e.
TU/e is the first University in The Netherlands to offer this opportunity to international top talent.
