Antenna Technology for Terahertz Wireless Communication

Uri Nissanov completed his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with Excellence at the University of Johannesburg in February 2022. In addition, he holds M.Sc. with dissertation and B.Tech. in Electric and Electronic Engineering with Excellence, all from of University of Ariel, Israel. Besides that, he holds an M.Sc. in Electric and Electronic Engineering with Excellence from the Holon Institute of Technology (HIT), Israel. His research interests are in the design and simulation of THz band / mmWave frequency with high-gain, broadband microstrip array antennas, reconfigurable antennas, beam steering microstrip antennas, MIMO antennas, and components such as Wilkinson power dividers, T-power dividers, frequency selective surfaces (FSSs), substrate-integrated waveguides (SIWs), and beam-steering Rotman Lens for the next-generation wireless communication systems (B5G/6G). Currently, he is working as a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Johannesburg on antenna technology for THz wireless communication. Ghanshyam Singh received a Ph.D. degree in Electronics Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India, in 2000. Currently, he is working as a full Professor and Director with the Centre for Smart Information and Communication Systems, Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Sciences, Auckland Park Kingsway Campus, University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Earlier, he was associated with Central Electronics Engineering Research Institute, Pilani, and Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, India, respectively, where he was Research Scientist. He was a Visiting Researcher at the Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea. He has worked as a Professor with the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, Jaypee University of Information Technology, Wakanaghat, Solan, India. He is an author/co-author of more than 290 scientific research papers of the refereed Journal and International Conferences.
