Microwave, Metamaterials and Antenna Engineering Group

Research Centre in Metamaterials for Innovation in Electronics and Communication Technologies

GEMMA-CIMITEC is a pioneering Group on the applications of Metamaterials (and other structures) to the development of high performance and low cost RF/microwave circuits, reducing their dimensions and/or including new functionalities. combines both basic and applied research. We explore new concepts, ideas and structures, in order to apply them to the industry needs, allowing us to optimize systems and meet new needs in areas such as telecommunications, industrial systems, “Internet of Things” or health, among others.
