About

Alexander J. Golkowski is a researcher specializing in high-frequency radar systems, additive manufacturing for electromagnetic applications, and precision measurement techniques. His most notable contribution is the development of a 3D printed tetrahedral aligned sphere target for radar positioning at 145 GHz, a novel approach that provides unambiguous reflection behavior across all angles—critical for calibrating frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar systems. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 3 citations and demonstrates Golkowski’s innovative fusion of 3D printing with electromagnetic engineering. By designing a target with four differently sized metallic spheres connected by cylindrical holders, he solved a key challenge in radar positioning: ensuring consistent, angle-independent signal returns. This achievement has implications for autonomous navigation, remote sensing, and millimeter-wave radar calibration. Golkowski’s research bridges experimental fabrication and theoretical electromagnetics, offering practical solutions for high-precision radar systems. His work is particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring additive manufacturing in RF engineering, as it showcases how 3D printing can create complex, custom geometries that enhance radar performance. With a focus on pushing the boundaries of radar technology, Golkowski continues to contribute to the advancement of millimeter-wave systems.
