Microwave research at the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez

Microwave research at the UPRM have been focused in weather radar systems, tunable circuits and antennas, antenna characterization and array design, and the analysis of weather radar data. Most recently, the group has been working in the development of a weather radar network for western PR, OTG weather radars, and antennas for Body-Area-Networks. Initial observations from the first radar network node and from the OTG radars show good correlation to NEXRAD measurements. Slot-type antennas have been characterized, resulting in designs with good bandwidth and gain.
