This vacancy concerns the industrial secondment as part of doctoral studies. The project is titled “Maximally sparse 3D antenna arrays for 6G NTN”. Recent research on multi-exponential analysis has demonstrated perfect signal recovery from sparsely sampled signals. This project aims to extend the application of this analysis to the spatial domain by applying the theory of multi-exponential analysis to the synthesis of a maximally sparse conformal antenna array enabling near-hemispherical field-of-view coverage. The theoretical framework developed through this research will be applied to the design and realization of a demonstrator Low-Earth Orbit ground station 3D phased array antenna operating in K- (downlink) and Ka-band (uplink), with improved circular polarization purity and scan performance at near-horizon elevation angles.

In order to apply for this vacancy, you need to have completed the first 1-1.5 year of your doctoral studies.
