Personal profile
Research profile
Ad Reniers is assistant professor in the electromagnetism (EM) group of the faculty of electrical engineering at Eindhoven University of Technology. His main areas of expertise are antennas, antenna systems and antenna metrology. In the EM research group Reniers focus is antenna miniaturization, phased arrays and antenna metrology. regarding the latter topic, the emphasis is on developing new measurement concepts for millimeter wave antennas (30 GHz .. 300 GHz), antenna systems for future wireless communications (6G and beyond) in reverberation and anechoic chambers, and RF material characterization.
He is also co-founder of AntenneX, a start-up company providing over-the-air testing facilities for millimeter wave software antennas for 5G/6G and radar sensing applications.
Quote
"The electromagnetic wave propagating through space and time, encountering refraction on its path slowing it down, just to continue, after a brief moment, with incredible speed, diffracting in different directions to end up in self-reflection just to find out that it briefly existed affecting many lives."
