Within the PHARA project a team of experts will create a first-of-its-kind research infrastructure for atmospheric and weather sciences: a fast-scanning phased-array radar in Ku-band with polarization diversity. PHARA will enable to track continuously cloud volumes and measure microphysical processes directly with a minimum of assumptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Position<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the rapidly evolving field of wireless communication and radar systems, the demand for highly efficient, adaptive, and precise antenna technologies has never been greater. Beamforming active array antennas, with their ability to dynamically steer and shape beams, are at the forefront of this innovation. However, achieving high polarization purity in these systems remains a significant challenge, especially while scanning, crucial for minimizing signal interference, enhancing communication reliability, and improving overall system performance. This PhD position offers the opportunity to dive deep into the complexities of antenna polarization, focusing on developing novel methods and design strategies to optimize polarization purity in active array antennas. By addressing these challenges, the candidate will contribute to the next generation of high-performance, active antenna systems, with applications spanning from advanced radar to next-generation wireless networks. In addition, the candidate will collaborate with other PhD students from the Electromagnetics (EM) group (antenna systems).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information, contact Dr. Gabriele Federico<\/strong> (g.federico@tue.nl<\/a>).
