Summary
Jeffrey Hesler's research is focused on the development of rugged, sensitive, and inexpensive heterodyne receiver systems for use with high frequency microwave applications such as satellite-based remote sensing, collision avoidance radar, communications systems, imaging, and spectroscopy. His current research projects include the development of compact room-temperature harmonic mixers at submillimeter-wavelengths, and the use of various micromachining and molding techniques in the fabrication of submillimeter-wavelength components.
