Organisation profile

Organisation profile

The GEMMA Group tries to combine disruptive research with technology transfer based on such research activities, beyond the state-of-the art. The activity of GEMMA since its creation more than 15 years ago has been focused on RF/microwave engineering, with emphasis on the application of advanced concepts and technologies (e.g., metamaterials, electromagnetic symmetry properties, printed electronics and 3D printing, microfluidics, etc.) to the design of advanced devices/systems with novel or improved functionalities and/or with reduced size/cost. 
The main research activities and associated scientific challenges for the next three years are mainly circumscribed within two main areas: (i) Microwave sensors and sensing systems: Microwave encoders (motion sensors) and highly sensitive permittivity sensors (dielectric characterization of solids and liquids) (ii) Radiofrequency identification (RFID): Chipless and chipped RFID tags on new materials (substrates and inks).
