Topology Optimization of Electromagnetic Metamaterials for Miniaturization of Wireless Communication Antennas (TopAnt)

Abstract

The goal of the project is to pursue the systematic synthesis of three-dimensional electromagnetic metamaterials using toplogy optimization. The general and fundamental properties of manufacturable metamaterials will be determined with a focus on their use for miniaturization of wireless communication antennas. The project is a cross-disciplinary cooperation between three DTU research groups in antennas and electromagnetics, modeling and toplogy optimization, and optics and photonics.

Funding: Danish Research Council for Technology and Production (Forskningsrådet for Teknologi og Produktion).

Duration: April 2007 - February 2010

Project coordinator: Olav Breinbjerg, DTU Electrical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark
