The Chair of Microwave Engineering has been awarded 1st place in the student paper competition at the conference “IEEE MTT-S Radio & Wireless Week”, which took place 22 - 25 January 2023 in Las Vegas, for the paper entitled 'The Anglet: An E/H-plane Bent, 90-Degree Twisted, TE101/TM110-Mode Singlet Building Block'. The authors, Chad Bartlett and Michael Höft, have demonstrated a dramatic innovation in passive waveguide component design by integrating a twist, bend, and singlet into an ultra-compact structure that is suitable for both additive and subtractive manufacture. This type of innovation adds not only a new class of filter structures to the literature but allows for avionic applications to become much lighter and less expensive.
