Cousins in Research: Reactive Posts In Rectangular Waveguide And Frequency Selective Surfaces for Interference Mitigation
Allan Williamson
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
The University of Auckland, New Zealand
Date: Wednesday, 2nd July
Time: 2:00pm
Venue: B29, Sackville Street Building
A brief introduction to the New Zealand scene and The University of Auckland will be given, followed by an overview of the history and activities of the Radio Systems Group in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and an outline of recent and current research being undertaken in the group. Details of two recent projects with which the presenter has been involved will be discussed; the analysis and modelling of probe tuning devices for application in high power industrial microwave applications, and the application of frequency selective surfaces to assist in the mitigation of interference in indoor wireless systems.
About Allan Williamson
Allan Williamson is a long standing member of the academic staff of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering where he has been a Professor since 1988. He has served two terms as Head of Department 1989-1994, and 2002-2008, as well as serving in other senior roles in the Faculty and University. He is on Research and Study Leave for 2008. Allan's research interests began with the modelling of waveguide passive devices and expanded to include mobile and cellular radio propagation and systems engineering. These activities now include interest in the industrial application of microwaves and RF engineering of indoor wireless system design.
The event is organised by Microwave and Communication System Research Group, School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering, the University of Manchester.
