STUFF AN ELECTROMAGNETICS SCIENTIST DOES

Some people have asked me what an "Electromagnetics Scientist" does. So here is a small collection of photos from the last few years.

Here is a radar system used to track vehicles in foliage. We did testing a while ago with the help of some large vehicles.

Here is the test.

and here is a graduate student with our test vehicle.

Besides radar, I also do automotive antenna research. This requires mathematical models of automobiles and small metal scale models of vehicles as well as full scale vehicles for final testing.


In one case, we even used an infrared camera to image the wire grid pattern on the rear window of a vehicle.

Later, I can show examples of large antennas, small antennas, internal radar images of buildings, antennas that glow in the dark (they are made of plasma) and other kind of fun projects. Posted by Picasa
