Advances in wearable materials for terahertz antennas: healthcare-focused survey Karthik Varma Pericharla, Tapan Nahar, Vishal Das, Sanyog Rawat, Mitesh Solanki Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering, 2026 Current advancement in in terahertz technology (0.1–10 THz) have shown good potential for biomedical applications like early cancer detection, wound examination, ophthalmic measurements, pharmaceutical quality check etc., because of nonionizing characteristics, sensitivity to water molecules, and capability to differentiate among normal and affected tissues. The THz technology with flexible antennas provides great capability in real-time health monitoring and non-invasive biomedical sensing because of wearables, conformity to skin, and non-contacting features. Due to high dielectric losses, and thermal instability of traditional substrates like PET, PI, and PDMS at THz frequencies, the antenna performance is affected. Advanced materials like liquid crystal polymers, doped PDMS composites, biodegradable biopolymers (silk fibroin, cellulose), engineered metamaterials, and high-conductivity conductors such as graphene, CNTs, liquid metals, and nanoparticle inks may mitigate these challenges by providing low-loss characteristics, biocompatibility, flexibility, and sustainability, and providing a scope for next-generation THz healthcare instruments.
Compact Dual-Band Electromagnetically Coupled Hexagonal Antenna for C-Band and X-Band Wireless Systems Praveen Kumar Sharma, Tapan Nahar, Rashmi Jangid, Mitesh Solanki, Sanyog Rawat 10th IEEE Electron Devices Technology and Manufacturing Conference Emerging Semiconductor Devices and Manufacturing Technologies Edtm 2026, 2026 The presented research in this paper outlines a small, dual-band antenna that is designed for modern wireless and satellite communication systems. The proposed antenna comprises two concentric circular hexagonal split rings that draw their power from an electromagnetically coupled feed line on a FR4 substrate with a partial ground plane. The improved design features two resonant bands that operate in the 4.2–4.6 GHz and 7.5–8.5 GHz ranges. At 4.4 GHz, the antenna’s S11 parameter is –17.5 dB, and at 8 GHz, it is –34.8 dB, shows effective at matching impedance and reducing reflection. At 4.4 GHz, radiation analysis reveals a broadside pattern with side lobes exhibiting weaker. The peak gain is 10.18 dBi at 4.4 GHz and at 8 GHz, 8.039 dBi. The proposed antenna is perfect for satellite communication systems, C-band, 5G applications, and X-band radar due to its compact size of 21 × 21 × 1.6 mm<sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup>, high gain and dual band operation.
Position-Aware Beam Steering and Antenna Adaptation Using LiDAR Sensing for 6G Wireless Links Praveen Kumar Sharma, Mitesh Solanki, Rashmi Jangid, Tapan Nahar, Chandrasinh Parmar 10th IEEE Electron Devices Technology and Manufacturing Conference Emerging Semiconductor Devices and Manufacturing Technologies Edtm 2026, 2026 Wireless communication systems are rapidly moving towards 6G networks, which provide ultra-reliable, high-speed, and low-latency connectivity, however signal degradation, interference, and physical barriers at high frequencies cause serious issues in urban areas. The proposed research integrates LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology with beamforming techniques to enable dynamic beam steering, optimize antenna positioning, and improve line-of-sight (LoS) predictions. An improvement in the signal to noise ratio and coverage has been shown with MATLAB simulations and the obtained results have been validated with the hardware implementation through the ESP32 microcontroller that is interfaced with a VL53L0X LiDAR sensor. The proposed approach has been very beneficial for the antenna positioning and beamforming optimization for applications such as smart cities and autonomous vehicles as it is improving the network connectivity in the extremely populated urban environments.
Multiband Antenna Systems for Advanced Space Applications: Enabling Satellite Communication, Radar Sensing, and Deep-Space Networks Tapan Nahar, Praveen Kumar Sharma, Sanyog Rawat, Arpit Kumar Sharma, Mitesh Solanki, Rashmi Jangid 2025 IEEE International Conference on Advances in Computing Research on Science Engineering and Technology Acroset 2025, 2025 The presented research delineates the design and analysis of a multiband antenna system specifically engineered for specialized space applications, encompassing satellite communication, radar sensing, and deep-space networks. The proposed antenna operates across multiple frequency bands: 2.9–4.3 GHz (S/C-band), 24.2–39.5 GHz (Ka/V-band), 62.6–71.8 GHz (E-band), and 88.5–94 GHz (W-band), facilitating an extensive array of space-based applications. The antenna design employs a multi-element patch configuration with a defective ground plane, on a Rogers RT Duroid substrate, to facilitate multiband functionality in both microwave and millimeter-wave ranges. Simulation results exhibit considerable performance, with return losses under -10 dB throughout all designated frequency bands and gains surpassing 29 dB for a 16 × 16 array configuration. The antenna’s diminutive dimensions, elevated gain, and adaptable frequency range render it appropriate for applications like Earth observation, interplanetary communication, space-based 5G/6G networks, and high- resolution radar imaging. The research presented here underscores the antenna’s capability to facilitate next- generation space missions, scientific inquiry, and worldwide communication.

The antenna features a two-layer design, with a microstrip radiating element and parasitic layer for improved performance. According to simulations, the antenna has a resonance frequency of 26.8 GHz, an impedance bandwidth of 22.01%, and works in the 5G mm-wave spectrum (24.6 GHz to 30.5 GHz). The antenna's efficiency ranges from 70% to 87%, and its steady gain ranges from 12 dB to 14.1 dB. Its modest side lobes and broadside emission pattern assure effective coverage. This antenna is crucial for 5G mm-wave applications, providing stable, low-loss performance and significantly enhancing network coverage in challenging environments with low connectivity.
Low-complexity detector performance evaluation for cell-free massive MIMO systems Mitesh Solanki, Shilpi Gupta International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing, 2024 In 5G, massive MIMO enhances spectral and energy efficiency through beamforming and spatial multiplexing, despite challenges like intercellular interference. It excels in user-centric transmissions, addressing interference and improving wireless communication with macro-diversity. Characterised by its scalability and a cell-free design, massive MIMO stands out from other wireless systems. The article explores the potential of a newly proposed detector, providing insight into its capabilities. Additionally, we examine the challenges associated with increased network backhauling overhead. Conjugate Gradient-based Likelihood Ascent Search (CGLAS), a robust signal detection approach, aims to improve convergence speed and reduce errors in cell-free massive MIMO. An analysis of various antenna configurations provides insight into the performance of the detector. Additionally, the joint channel estimation and signal detection (JCD) method is used in scenarios with imperfect Channel State Information (CSI). The numerical results confirm CGLAS' superiority, with a 3.9 dB performance improvement and a reduced execution time complexity.
