For the third time, and for the second year in a row, students from EIT won the IEEE AP-S design contest, this year with a remote controlled car. In the photo: Teo Bergkvist, Otto Edgren, Orcar Gren, Måns Jacobsson. Not in the photo: Christian Nelson and Johan Lundgren (supervisor).

This year, the team accepted the challenge to use a nano-VNA by developing a remote-controlled car. Hands and metal grids were placed near the antennas, affecting e.g. impedance, which was coupled to the velocity and steering.

The work was presented at the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and ITNC-USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting 2024, 14–19 July in Florence.
