840 Metal, Plasma and Metamaterial Antennas with Applications to Telecommunications and 5G.
TECHNOLOGY FOCUS
Dr. Theodore Anderson, founder of Haleakala Research and Development, Inc. United States, is giving lectures on metal antennas, plasma antennas, metamaterial antennas, and plasma metamaterial antennas. The use of artificial intelligence on antenna applications will be discussed. The emphasis will be on plasma and metamaterial antennas but a comparison with metal antennas and the advantages will be given.
This 3-day course will consist of industrial applications of metal antennas, plasma antennas, metamaterial antennas, and plasma metamaterial antennas. This will include industrial applications to telecommunications, 5G, arrays, miniature, and smart antennas. Applications of artificial intelligence will be discussed.
Specific antennas to be discussed are smart antennas, satellite antennas, and reflector antennas. reduction of co-site interference, radiation patterns, smart plasma antenna, high power plasma antennas, reflector plasma antennas, pulsing plasma antennas, and how to make a basic plasma antenna.
COURSE CONTENT
The course content will consist of metal, plasma, antennas, metamaterial, and plasma metamaterial antennas, frequency selective surfaces and waveguides. Applications of artificial intelligence will be discussed.
The industrial applications will be in telecommunications, 5G, GPS, high gain and electrically small antennas that could be used in cell phones, antenna arrays and smart antennas. Applications of Artificial Intelligence will be discussed.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Note: Course 841 Metal, Plasma, and Metamaterial Antennas with Applications to Radar, Ordnance Mine Detection, and Cell Towers and course 842 Metal, Plasma, and Metamaterial Antennas with Applications to Plasma MRI/PET and Far-UFC Plasma Antennas to Inactivate Viruses are not prerequisites for this course. All three of these courses are stand alone.
An undergraduate course in electromagnetic theory is essential but it will be reviewed. No background in antennas or plasma physics is required. Basic electromagnetics, antenna theory, and plasma physics will be taught.

ALL COURSE DATES FOR THE CATEGORY: RF & MW Design
007 Behavioral Modeling and Digital Predistortion of RF Power Amplifiers
008 Advanced RF Power Amplifier Techniques for Modern Wireless and Microwave Systems
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Date: April 13 - April 17, 2026
Duration: 5 days
Instructors: Professsor Dr. Steve C. Cripps, Dr. Jeff Powell and Dr. Roberto Quaglia
In any system, the power amplifier is a critical component. It is typically the most costly single item and consumes most of the supply power. Knowledge of the possibilities for trading power per unit cost with efficiency and linearity often forms the basis for the entire system architecture design. This 5-day course deals with the theory and design of RF Power Amplifiers for wireless, satcom, and microwave applications and features in-depth treatment of PA design, PA modes, envelope power management, and non-linear effects.
015 RF Design and Simulation of Wireless Systems
026 Essentials of Radio Communications Systems
The advent of 5G and the technology spin-offs along the way have re-invigorated developments in all radio systems. They have produced new levels of sophistication as well as RF ICs for complex functions which amalgamate analogue/digital circuit ideas as well as sophisticated signalling and protocol layers.
This comprehensive course, from an established expert and IEEE life fellow, gives a thorough view of all key elements of receivers and transmitters, from circuit blocks through the system level to network concepts.
