In
this tutorial, we will discuss magnetoelectric antennas, talking about
their materials, designs, simulation, fabrication, test and
applications. This tutorial targets an audience interested in working in
the area of magnetic, piezoelectric, multiferroic and magnetoeletcric
materials and how they contribute to the performance of magnetoelectric
antennas working from VLF (3~30 kHz) to UHF (300~3000 MHz) frequency
range. The focus of the tutorial will be on the materials, designs,
simulation, fabrication, test and applications of these magnetoelectric
antennas.
