Research
Professor
Rutledge's research group is building circuits and antennas for
a range of applications at frequencies from 1 MHz all the way
up to 1 THz. Radio and microwave circuits are the core of the
wireless communications revolution and play a central role in
radars, remote sensing, and satellite broadcasting. Our research
is in quasi-optical power combining, micro-electo-mechanical systems
(MEMS) for RF and microwave circuits, and Class-E amplifiers for
communications transmitters.
