Juan Enrique Page de la Vega

Full Professor (retired), GEA cofounder

Juan. E. Page was born in Madrid, Spain, in 1946. He received the Ingeniero de Telecomunicación and Ph.D. degrees from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Madrid, in 1971 and 1974, respectively. 

Since 1983, he has been a Full Professor with the Applied  Electromagnetism Group in the “ETS de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación” at UPM. 

In 1980 he was a cofounder of the Applied Electromagnetism Group, in the ETS de Ingenieros de Telecommunication at UPM, initiating  the line of research of Biological Effects of electromagnetic fields.  He has been a full Professor from 1983 until his retirement in July 2017.  Nowadays he continues to collaborate in the group’s research activities.

His current research interests include circuit modelling of microwave devices and periodical structures, CAD of microwave circuits and systems and teaching of electromagnetic and circuit theories.

Juan Zapata Ferrer

Full Professor (retired), GEA cofounder

Juan Zapata Ferrer  received the IngTelecomunicación and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Madrid, Spain, in 1970 and 1974, respectively. He was a cofounder of the Applied Electromagnetism Group (GEA) in the ETS de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación” at UPM and he has been a full Professor since 1983 until 2018, when he was retired.

In 1980 he was a cofounder of the Applied Electromagnetism Group, where he has been engaged in research on microwave active circuits and interactions of electromagnetic fields with biological tissues. His research interests include computer-aided design for microwave passive circuits and antennas and numerical methods in electromagnetism, especially the finite-element method.

Professor Zapata is a member of the Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques.

Alejandro Delgado Gutiérrez

Associate Professor (retired)

Alejandro Delgado Gutiérrezwas born in Madrid, August 4th  1949. He achieved the degree of PhD in Telecommunication Engineering by the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) in December 1974.

He was Associate Professor since 1972 at the Superior School of Telecommunication Engineering of Madrid, at UPM. He have taught the topics of “Microwave Engineering”, “High Frequency Circuits” and Televeision”, including theoretical lectures and Lab practices. He was the Coordinator of the Television Area at the Electromagnetism and Circuits Theory Department, nowadays integrated in the Department of “Signals, Systems and Radiofrequency”.

His research activities at the University were related to the development of thin-film technology on ceramic substrate for miniaturized microwave circuits and the design of passive and active devices of high frequency circuits in microstrip line. He was with the Applied Electromagnetism Group from the beginning. 

As R & D Director in private companies in the electronics sector since 1982, he has been the manager of research projects for development of terminals for mobile communication via satellite, for reception and data processing of meteorological satellites, and for the design and manufacturing of transmitters and transponders for analogue and digital television. He had an active contribution to the digital TV network deployment in Spain.

Presently retired since 2014.

Mariano Barba Gea

Associate Professor (passed away on July 20, 2017)

Mariano Barba  was born in Murcia, Spain. He received the Electrical Engineering degree iningeniero de telecomunicación and the Ph.Ddegree from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, Madrid (UPM), Spain, in 1990 and 1996, respectively. From 1991 to 1994, he was a Post-GraduateResearcher with the Applied Electromagnetism Group (GEA) in the “ETS de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación” at UPM. During this time, he developed numerical methods and algorithms tocharacterize and design microwave passive devices. From 1994 to 2002, he was involved in the researchand development departments of several companies and institutions developing antennas and microwave circuits for space and terrestrial communication applications. In 2002, he joined the Applied Electromagnetism Group, UPM, as an Associate Professor.

Prof. Barba died in July 2017. At the end of his life, he was involved in the development and designof multibeam and reconfigurable antennas. All through his life, he focused on the analysis, characterization, and design of antenna and microwave circuits.
