Ababil Hossain is a Bangladeshi antenna and RF engineer known for his research on electrically compact ultrawideband antennas, ground-penetrating radar (GPR) systems, and reconfigurable antennas for 5G communications. He currently works as an Antenna Design Engineer at Mimosa Networks in Silicon Valley, focusing on massive MIMO array antennas for wireless applications.

Education

Ababil Hossain completed his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Davis in 2023. His doctoral research focused on the development of electrically compact, gain-enhanced ultrawideband (UWB) antennas for ground-penetrating radar imaging systems.[1]

He received his M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Utah State University in 2017, where he worked on reconfigurable antenna systems and RF circuits for 5G communications.[2]

Ababil Hossain earned an M.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering with a minor focus in Material Science (2015) and a B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (2012) from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).

Career

Ababil Hossain has been working as an Antenna Design Engineer at Mimosa Networks in Santa Clara, California since September 2023, where he designs and develops massive MIMO array antennas.[3]

Previously, he served as a Graduate Student Researcher and Teaching Assistant at the University of California, Davis (2018-2023), where he conducted research on electrically compact ultrawideband antennas, high-gain antennas, and millimeter-wave antenna design. He also instructed courses including Control System I, Electromagnetics I, and Electromagnetic Radiation and Antennas.

Before his doctoral studies, Ababil Hossain worked as a Lecturer at East West University in Dhaka, Bangladesh (January-August 2018), and as an Antenna/RF Design Engineer at i5 Technologies in Logan, Utah (March-December 2017), where he designed and optimized 4×4 and 8×8 multifunctional reconfigurable phased array systems for 5G wireless technologies. He also worked as a Graduate Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant at Utah State University (2014-2016), and as a Lecturer at Bangladesh University of Business & Technology (2012-2014).

Research

Ababil Hossain's research focuses on applied electromagnetics with an emphasis on antenna design for modern wireless and sensing applications. His significant contributions include:

Ultrawideband and Miniaturized Antennas

Ababil Hossain has developed novel gain-enhanced miniaturized Vivaldi antennas for ground-penetrating radar applications.[4] His designs achieve high gain while maintaining a compact form factor, addressing key challenges in UWB antenna technology for imaging applications.

Reconfigurable Antennas for 5G Communications

During his time at Utah State University and i5 Technologies, Ababil Hossain developed parasitic layer-based radiation pattern reconfigurable antennas specifically designed for 5G communications.[2] This work contributed to advancing antenna technology for next-generation wireless networks.

Metamaterial-Based Antennas

Ababil Hossain has contributed to research on metamaterial-loaded antennas, including novel designs for circular patch antennas with epsilon-negative (ENG) and mu-negative (MNG) metamaterials.[5] His recent work includes a compact and low-profile high-gain multilayer Vivaldi antenna based on gradient metasurface superstrates.[6]

Ground-Penetrating Radar Systems

Ababil Hossain has conducted extensive research on system-based specifications for ground-penetrating radar antennas.[7] His work in this area has contributed to the development of more effective radar imaging systems.
