==Research==
Prof. Kanaujia's areas of teaching and research interests are Computational Electromagnetics and Microwave Electronics, that include Antenna Theory-Analysis and Modelling, Active Microwave Devices, and Passive Components, Novel Electromagnetics Materials (EBG Structures and Metamaterials). The antenna systems cater to applications in Wireless Communications, Satellite Communications, Radar Applications, Biomedical Telemetry & Imaging, RFIDs, and many more. Some of the innovative areas are:
1. Electromagnetics in Biomedical applications:
The implantable antenna connects the implantable medical devices wirelessly with an external base-station antenna. Several types of antenna designs have been worked upon already to meet the requirements of implantable antennas and many more have come up lately, but all of them are of single-input-single-output (SISO) configuration. Since, biotelemetry applications largely require indoor propagation of wireless channel thus, renders it to multipath reflections. As SISO configuration does not provide immunity to multipath reflections and also are not independent of spatial diversity, thereby, hinders the efficient wireless communication with an external antenna. Therefore, multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) antenna technology emerges out with a great potential of addressing the drawbacks of SISO configuration with improved channel capacity. Hence, for implantable applications, there is a need of non-planar MIMO antenna system that should be spatial and CP diversified in orthogonal directions to overcome multipath reflections, and communicate effectively with the external base-station systems and thus, this menace has been addressed by state of the research conducted by Prof. Kanaujia and his team of researchers.
2. Multi-band RF Passive Circuits:
It is to develop passive circuits/systems for multi-band communication system using new techniques. The coexistence of several frequency bands in the communication environment necessitated the need of multiband communication systems. There are two methods to develop the multiband communication systems. In the conventional methods, multiband communication systems contain multiple RF front ends, and each optimize for single band. For example, a tri band communication system has three RF front ends. There are two important drawbacks of this approach: 1) increase in size and 2) the cost of the communication systems. These issues have been addressed by continued research in this domain by Prof. Kanaujia's team.
3. RF Energy Harvesting (Rectennas):
As the demand for Wireless power transfer|wireless power transmission is increasing day by day to provide energy to the smart sensing and low power electronic devices. For making this emerging technology self- sustainable, there is a need for green and incessant energy, to power up different nodes of the Internet of Things (IoT) system, and it is only possible with the use of energy harvesting schemes. A number of renewable resources are available in nature and by using some means and methods the available renewable energy can be harnessed effectively. Among various available energy sources, RF energy harvesting has many advantages over other energy harvesting techniques. It does not depend upon the climatic conditions and is available all the time even during night. The research of Prof. Kanaujia focuses on design aappropriate RF energy harvesting antenna and rectifying circuit for various applications such as wireless scavenging, IoT, biomedical devices.
