A student-focused RF and microwave engineering contest
designed to encourage practical antenna design,
simulation, optimization, and innovation.
About the Contest
The Metix RF Student Antenna Design Contest 2026 was organized
to provide students with an opportunity to apply electromagnetic
theory, antenna design principles, RF simulation, and engineering
optimization to practical antenna design challenges.
