Weber Research Institute

Founded as the Microwave Research Center, the center was renamed in 1985 in honor of its founder, Dr. Ernst Weber. The Institute played a key role in WWII in the development of electromagnetic and microwave defense and communication systems.

Research continues to focus primarily on electromagnetics from power frequencies through microwave to submillimeter waves and electro-optical phenomena.

Studies in electromagnetic, acoustic and lightwave propagation, scattering and detection, together with electromagnetic waves and the environment in communication and signaling systems, such as cellular telephony, are also pursued as is work on device technology as related to telecommunications and high-power electromagnetic pulse phenomena.
