The Antenna Systems Division

The Antenna Systems division is one of four research divisions at the Department of Signals and Systems. It has one of the largest publication records at Chalmers, and is an internationally recognized research group within the antenna systems area. There are several successful commercializations from the research activity, including the so-called hat antenna, which has been produced in nearly 1 million copies for Ericsson’s MINILINK, and the world-leading spinoff company Bluetest AB.

Specific subject description

The area is Antenna Systems, i.e. antennas with integrated components such as distribution networks, receivers, transmitters, A/D & D/A converters, and digital signal processors.
