The Applied Electromagnetics and RF Circuits (AE&RFC) Research Center is located at SUNY Polytechnic Institute. AE&RFC Group members conduct research across a broad range of frequencies, from HF to Terahertz. The research conducted at AE&RFC spans areas such as antennas and RF systems for mobile and IoT devices, reconfigurable antennas, RF energy harvesting, Terahertz sensors, radar sensors, beamforming for 5G systems, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), RF amplifier topologies, RF linearization methods, AI-based modeling of wide bandgap devices, antennas for high-power RF/microwave systems, and AI-based RF measurement and instrumentation methods.  

The AE&RFC Research Center is equipped with a state-of-the-art anechoic chamber, capable of performing radiation pattern, gain, and polarization measurements from 18 GHz to 95 GHz and 300 MHz to 3 GHz. The Center also houses various sources, THz measurement and imaging systems, and several RF equipment, including network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and other characterization devices. It provides the capability to measure, validate, and characterize various passive and active microwave devices and antenna structures. Additionally, the lab is equipped to build and fabricate planar RF and antenna systems. With its active members, the lab produces various research publications, patents, and even products that aim to advance science, fundamental research, and applied research. 

The AE&RFC Research Center is supported by various federal agencies and industrial partners, helping to drive cutting-edge research. Through its partnerships, the lab extends its capabilities, allowing for the execution of research activities across a broad frequency range, from HF and microwave to Terahertz applications. 

The AE&RFC Research Center is home to several faculty members, as well as graduate and undergraduate students. It provides a unique facility for students to develop the skill sets necessary for high-frequency engineering.
