Microwave Technology Research Group is one of main research groups in the Department of Electric, Electronic and System Engineering UKM. Our group specialises on the research and development of antennas, RF/microwave devices, metamaterial and electromagnetic simulation/measurement techniques in various applications such as communication, imaging and sensing. Since its inception, the group has managed to obtain more than RM 8 million in research grant nationally and internationally. Research outputs from the group has been published in various high impact journals and multiple patents have been granted based on the research in the group. Within the group, there are two (2) main laboratories, namely the Microwave Technology Laboratory and Near Field Measurement Laboratory. These laboratories are equipped with 3m anechoic chamber, Satimo Near Field Measurement system and various state-of-the-art RF/microwave equipment.
