Postdoc in high-efficiency beam-steerable millimeter-wave antennas for drones and satellites (2024-224-05900)

Millimeter waves have high potential to be applied in future drones and satellite communications. To overcome the path loss, high gain and beam steerable antennas are required in these systems. Due to the limited power supply in drones and satellites, antennas with beam scanning capability should be high efficient. Furthermore, for satellite and drone applications, multiple factors such as cost, complexity, performance, antenna size and weight should be considered.

We are currently seeking a highly motivated and skilled individual to join our team as a postdoc-level researcher and teacher. This position offers an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research in the field of radio frequency(RF) and antenna design, with a focus on developing innovative methods for efficient wideband and beam-steering antennas for millimeter-wave satellite and drone applications.

Successful funding applications would be considered an advantage for the candidate.

Antennas as transmitting and receiving components in wireless systems are widely used in both conventional and emerging areas, e.g., 6G, small satellites, biology, industry 4.0, and so on. The Antennas Group at AAU aims at all challenging applications where antennas or electromagnetics can be applied to gain advantages.
