Gallium Nitride processing for high-power and high-frequency devices

Gallium Nitride (GaN) and its related AlxGa1-xN ternary alloys have excellent properties (like a wide band gap, a high critical electric field and a high electron saturation velocity) making them suitable semiconductors for high power and high frequency de

Micro WATTS - Micro WAstewaTer Treatment System using photocatalytic surfaces

The primary objective of this project is to provide a practical means to recoup and treat greywater at its source using photocatalytic surfaces activated by solar energy. This will not only result in a source of second class water, but would also a reduction in the volume of waste water discarded into the sewage infrastructure.

KaBAS (Ka Band Antenna Systems)

The aim of the KaBAS project is to identify two different types of Ka-band antennas, intended for contexts with different needs, although they are both related to the satellite communications market. In particular:
- a flat planar antenna, to be proposed in the market segment of man-portable easy deployable products. For this reason, the key target is represented by the containment of dimensions and maximum portability.
- a paraboloid of about 1.8 meters in diameter, made of carbon fiber and accompanied by the relative feed.
