Multi�Band Microstrip Antenna for GPS, GPRS and WLAN Applications

Sujeet K Chaudhuri, Univ. Of waterloo, Canada

A number of emerging fixed wireless broadband access techniques as well as satellite communication systems depend on very low�profile wide�angle electronic beam�scanning/switching and controllable polarization in microwave and millimeter wave ranges of frequencies. . Low profile conformal antennas and systems for mobile satellite links that can be integrated with the moving platforms (car, ship, plane, etc) will be the main focus of this presentation. An effective method for low profile blind beam forming technique will be demonstrated with numerical as well as experimental data. Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) is one of the key application areas of the technology being developed through our research and development efforts in “intelligent antennas”.

The presentation will also give a brief overview of research being undertaken in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University Of Waterloo.

Bio sketch of Sujeet K Chaudhuri:

Sujeet K. Chaudhuri, Ph.D., P.Eng., was born in Calcutta, India on August 25, 1949. He graduated with a B.E. (Honours) Degree in Electronics Engineering from BITS/Pilani, and a M. Tech Degree in Electrical Communication Engineering from IIT/Delhi, India in 1970 and 1972, respectively. At the University of Manitoba, Canada, he earned M.A.Sc. Degrees in Microwave Engineering, and Ph.D. Degree in Electromagnetic Theory in 1973 and 1977, respectively.

In 1977 he joined the University of Waterloo , where he is currently a Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department and was the Chair of Electrical & Computer Engineering Department from 1993 � 1998 and the Dean of the Engineering Faculty from 1998-2003. He has also held a Visiting Associate Professor's position in the EECS Department of the University of Illinois at Chicago during the years 1981 and 1984, a visiting Professorship at the National University of Singapore in 1990-1991, and the Erskine Fellowship at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand in 1998. In 2004, he visited the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) as BK-21 International Fellow. He has been involved in Contract Research and Consulting Work with several Canadian and U.S. industries and government research organizations. In 2004, in recognition of his sustained outstanding scholarship and academic leadership, he was installed as the O’Donovan Research Chair of RF/Microwaves and Photonics at the University of Waterloo.

Under his leadership, first as the Chair of the Elect. & Comp. Engr. Dept and later as the Dean

of the Engineering Faculty ,the Faculty and the University experienced unprecedented growth.

Research budget of the Faculty tripled, new buildings were added, new undergraduate programmes like Software Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering were successfully introduced, as well as many new graduate/research programmes were added. The Faculty is recognized as one of the best Engineering Education centres in Canada. As the Chair of the National Council of Deans of Engineering and Applied Sciences (NCDEAS), Prof. Chaudhuri provided new visions and progressive leadership to the Engineering Profession in Canada. Due to his initiatives, NCDEAS now enjoys a prominent consultative role with the Governments and the private sector in North America.
