We’re Shrinking Microwave Electronics

The world of microelectronics is a race to the miniaturization, and microwave electronics is no different.  Research over the years has strived to make microwave circuits smaller so that they are faster, portable, and able to squeeze into hazardous environments in order to detect and identify their surroundings.  Planar microwave resonators are an effective answer to recent demands for accurate, wireless, and robust sensors for unique applications in pipelines, biomedicine, and three-phase chemical identification.

Here at the Okanagan Microelectronics and Gigahertz Applications (OMEGA) Lab, we are interested in pushing the limits of microwave sensing technology.  Our goal is to bring microwave sensors to the front lines of industry and technology and that requires designing and fabricating sensors that are faster and more accurate than ever, even in the harshest conditions.
