Workshops & Tutorials

FWVLab (Field and Wave Visualization Laboratory) is an interactive web-based platform developed to simplify the learning of Electromagnetics through real-time visualizations and simulations. Electromagnetics is a fundamental subject for understanding wireless communication, antennas, microwave engineering, and wave propagation. However, students often find it difficult because electromagnetic fields and waves are invisible and highly mathematical. This workshop introduces participants to FWVLab (https://www.fwvlab.com), where complex concepts are explained through interactive simulations instead of static diagrams. Participants will explore topics such as electrostatics, magnetostatics, time-varying electromagnetic fields, wave propagation, transmission lines, and Smith Charts, while gaining hands-on experience with the simulator. The workshop is intended to enhance conceptual understanding and make the learning of Electromagnetics more intuitive and engaging.

This workshop explores the role of AI in accelerating workflows that begin from an antenna concept to its integration into system level models. We begin with a library of pretrained surrogate models that enable accurate, near-instant evaluation and rapid exploration of common antenna families and then introduce an AutoML platform that lets nonexperts train custom predictors for new geometries and requirements. Next, we cover optimization using surrogate techniques on different antenna families including popular evolved pixelated antenna topologies, the results for which will be presented and followed up by refinement with customized genetic algorithms to meet objectives such as miniaturization while preserving resonance, bandwidth, and efficiency. We then present a deep learning generative approach for 3D radiation-pattern reconstruction. Specifically, a U-net–based model that infers full 3D patterns from sparse azimuth/elevation cuts is introduced, delivering higher accuracy and speed than traditional reconstruction methods and validated across diverse antennas. This includes a discussion of current and emerging challenges. Next, a Python + MATLAB EM co-design pipeline demonstrates how to generate and simulate parametric RF structures using MATLAB’s Antenna and RF PCB capabilities while leveraging Python’s optimization and deep-learning ecosystem to iteratively evolve designs. Finally, we show how these EM artifacts can be dropped directly into user-friendly system-level simulations, linking EM results to RF chains, waveforms, and link-budget models for end-to-end performance evaluation and decision-making.

This workshop explores the transformative potential of next-generation metasurfaces in shaping, controlling, and dynamically manipulating electromagnetic waves from microwave to millimetre-wave, sub-THz, and THz frequencies. Bridging fundamental electromagnetic principles with cutting-edge hardware technologies, the workshop will cover intelligent, reconfigurable, programmable, transparent, and multifunctional metasurfaces for emerging wireless systems. Special emphasis will be placed on RIS/STAR-RIS, beam steering and beamforming, OAM, holographic surfaces, and ISAC. Through expert presentations, technology demonstrations, and interactive discussions, participants will gain insights into design methodologies, fabrication challenges, experimental validation, and real-world deployment pathways. The workshop brings together researchers, students, professionals, and technology innovators to explore how metasurfaces can transform the electromagnetic environment and enable the high-capacity, intelligent, sensing-aware, and reconfigurable 6G networks of the future.

"Modern radar, electronic warfare, satellite communication, sensing, and emerging wireless systems require highly integrated microwave front ends capable of providing high power, low noise, wide bandwidth, rapid reconfigurability, and precise control of radiated energy. Their successful realization demands an integrated understanding of MMICs, passive networks, power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, RF switches, beamforming core chips, packaging, and antennas. This workshop presents a coherent end-to-end journey from fundamental microwave concepts to integrated RF front ends and radiating apertures through six interconnected lectures: (1) “From 50 Ω to First-Pass Success: Microwave Fundamentals for MMIC Design,” covering transmission lines, S-parameters, impedance matching, stability, transistor models, parasitic effects, and circuit–EM co-simulation; (2) “Routing and Combining RF Power: Passive Networks for Broadband and High-Power Front Ends,” covering Wilkinson combiners, hybrid couplers, corporate-feed networks, radial combiners, bandwidth, isolation, power handling, and implementation trade-offs; (3) “Low Noise In, High Power Out: Practical Design of PA and LNA MMICs,” addressing device selection, load-pull and source-pull techniques, matching, stability, noise figure, output power, efficiency, linearity, and thermal management; (4) “The Beamforming Intelligence: Core-Chip Architectures for Phased-Array Systems,” covering digital attenuators, phase shifters, gain control, multi-function core-chip architectures, calibration, and amplitude/phase accuracy; (5) “Controlling the RF Path: High-Power SPDT and T/R Switch Design,” discussing switch architectures, technology choices, insertion loss, isolation, switching speed, power handling, receiver protection, and front-end integration; and (6) “From RF Port to Radiating Aperture: Antenna and Array Design for Integrated Microwave Systems,” covering antenna parameters, array factor, beam steering, grating lobes, mutual coupling, scan loss, feed networks, and front-end–antenna co-design. Practical design trade-offs, technology selection, simulation approaches, layout considerations, packaging constraints, measurement challenges, and system-level interactions will be highlighted throughout. A representative radar/electronic-warfare front end will serve as a unifying case study to demonstrate how individual building blocks collectively determine transmit power, receiver sensitivity, bandwidth, efficiency, beam-steering accuracy, and overall system performance. The workshop will provide participants with a unified design perspective extending from the transistor and MMIC level to the radiating aperture."

"Conventional antenna analysis largely focuses on quantities such as input impedance, S-parameters, radiation patterns, gain, and antenna Q-factor. While these quantities are essential for antenna characterization, they often provide limited physical insight into where electromagnetic energy is stored, how it flows around a radiator, and how the near field contributes to interaction and mutual coupling between antennas. Recent developments in electromagnetic energy density representation around antennas provide new ways of visualizing and interpreting these phenomena in both the time and frequency domains. This three-hour tutorial is aimed at postgraduate students and early-career researchers in antennas, electromagnetics, microwave engineering, and wireless systems. The tutorial will introduce a unified framework for understanding antennas near fields using reactive energy, Poynting vector based localized energy, electromagnetic Lagrangian density, electromagnetic helicity, and the infinitesimal dipole model (IDM). Beginning with the physical distinction between radiative and reactive fields, the tutorial will discuss the limitations of conventional energy and Q-factor based interpretations and motivate a spatially and temporally resolved description of electromagnetic energy density around antennas. The first part will introduce the time-domain IDM methodology, including extraction of radiating currents from full-wave electromagnetic simulations and estimation of radiated and reactive energy. The discussion will then extend to Poynting-localized energy and energy-flow concepts, providing an intuitive picture of electromagnetic energy transport and localization. The second part will introduce the electromagnetic Lagrangian density as a means of identifying capacitive- and inductive-dominated regions in the antenna near-field and demonstrate how spatial maps of reactive energy can reveal physical mechanisms underlying antenna interaction and mutual coupling. The tutorial will subsequently introduce reactive helicity and complex electromagnetic quantities as additional tools for characterizing near-field structure beyond conventional S-parameter descriptions. Particular emphasis will be placed on mutually coupled antennas and antenna arrays, illustrating how spatial distributions of reactive energy can be used to identify regions that contribute constructively or destructively to coupling. The tutorial will conclude with recent developments in IDM-assisted visualization and reshaping of reactive-energy distributions, demonstrating how electromagnetic-energy maps can potentially be used not merely for post-processing and physical interpretation, but also as a design tool for controlling antenna interaction and near-field behavior. Throughout the tutorial, analytical formulations will be complemented by intuitive physical interpretations, numerical examples, and computational demonstrations. The participants will therefore gain a practical understanding of how electromagnetic-energy representations can bridge the gap between full-wave simulation results and the underlying physical mechanisms governing antenna radiation, reactive fields, and mutual coupling. Target audience: Postgraduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers with a basic background in electromagnetic theory, antennas, and numerical electromagnetic simulation."

This tutorial presents a practical, end-to-end methodology for the design and realization of microwave and millimeter-wave monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs). Starting from system-level specifications, the tutorial covers semiconductor-process and device selection, bias optimization, stability, impedance matching, noise and large-signal design, passive-component realization, and appropriate circuit-simulation methodologies including S-parameter, harmonic-balance, large-signal S-parameter and transient analyses. Particular emphasis is placed on the transition from schematic-level design to physical implementation through electromagnetic simulation, EM/circuit co-simulation, DRC/LVS, design for manufacturability, process-corner analysis, Monte Carlo analysis and yield assessment. Practical design case studies including low-noise amplifiers, driver amplifiers, frequency multipliers, digital phase shifters, attenuators, RF switches, voltage-controlled oscillators and multifunction beamforming MMICs will be used to illustrate the methodology. millimeter-wave MMIC packaging will be discussed through practical W-band examples involving bond-wire compensation, waveguide-to-microstrip transitions and multi-MMIC module integration. The tutorial will also introduce thermal and reliability considerations and on-wafer measurement, calibration and de-embedding. The objective is to provide participants with a systematic understanding of how an RF circuit progresses from specification and transistor selection to a fabrication-ready design and experimentally characterized hardware.

Public trust in science is no longer a given. Scientists and engineers and industry personnel now operate in an information environment shaped by polarization, AI-generated content, and an audience that decides within seconds whether a speaker is worth believing. Technical accuracy is necessary, but credibility becomes a skill and authenticity essential. This 8-hour interactive workshop introduces participants to the Credible Messenger Training (CMT) method, co-developed and designed by Brian Brophy at Caltech and refined with NASA/JPL through the Jacobs-Caltech Resnick Outreach Collaboration (JROC).

"Microwave and millimeter-wave technologies offer a promising foundation for safe, non-ionizing, non-invasive, and potentially portable biomedical sensing and imaging. Their sensitivity to tissue dielectric properties creates opportunities for anomaly detection, tissue characterization, physiological assessment, and longitudinal health monitoring. However, clinically meaningful performance requires the coordinated design of sensing hardware, antennas, measurement configurations, calibration methods, image-reconstruction algorithms, and intelligent decision-support models. This workshop will present an integrated view of the complete biomedical microwave-imaging pipeline. The hardware segment will cover microwave-tissue interactions, penetration-resolution trade-offs, RF sensors, wideband antennas, arrays, metasurface-assisted radiators, near-field configurations, and practical calibration. The algorithmic segment will discuss frequency- and time-domain processing, synthetic-aperture and near-field imaging, clutter suppression, beamforming, dielectric-contrast mapping, optimal-standoff control, and reference-free reconstruction. The intelligent-inferencing segment will examine physics-informed feature extraction, machine- and deep-learning-assisted reconstruction, anomaly localization and segmentation, severity estimation, uncertainty quantification, and explainable decision support. Illustrative examples will include free-space dielectric imaging of biological tissues, metasurface-enhanced near-field imaging, reference-free subsurface anomaly detection, brain anomaly imaging, non-contact microwave assessment of oedema severity, and some other use cases as well. The workshop will also discuss the vision of transforming unobtrusive electromagnetic measurements into physiologically and clinically meaningful The speakers will address key translational challenges, including anatomically realistic phantoms, subject variability, limited biomedical datasets, quantitative image-quality evaluation, electromagnetic safety, compact instrumentation, real-time implementation, clinical validation, and regulatory pathways.
