It is expected that low-cost THz systems will be used in radio astronomy, remote sensing of the environment, and ultra-wideband communications.  They could also be used in biological and chemical applications, such as anti-terrorism devices and detection of chemical\/biological agents.\n\u003C\/p\u003E\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Papapolymerou specializes in the electromagnetics and electronic design and application areas, and he leads the Microwave Circuit Technology Group (MCTG). Paper co-authors include Peter Kirby, a Ph.D. graduate from the MCTG, and Yuan Li, a current Ph.D. student in the group.  Jeffrey Hesler and Qun Xiao are from the Department of ECE at the University of Virginia and Virginia Diodes, Inc.\n\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"ECE Associate Professor John Papapolymerou received the Best Paper Award in the active circuits area at the 2008 IEEE Asia Pacific Microwave Conference.
