For the second straight year, a team of engineering students at the University of Alabama is one of six finalists in an international contest to design an antenna system to sound wireless channels and locate radio signals.

“We are very fortunate because this is a worldwide competition, so we are very happy our students were one of the top six,” said Yang-Ki Hong, team adviser and the E.A. “Larry” Drummond Endowed Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the UA College of Engineering.

The Student Antenna Design Contest is held by the Antennas and Propagation Society of IEEE, or IEEE AP-S, the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology. The UA team won the contest a year ago.The six finalists receive stipends to help develop the antenna system and travel to the annual IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium this month in Boston. Along with UA, the finalists include teams from Michigan State University, Colorado School of Mines, two teams from Greece and a team from Spain.
