Workshop 4

Advancing Connectivity: Phased Array Antennas and Beamforming Technologies for Multi-Orbit Satellite and 5G Communications

Abstract

Phased array antennas and advanced beamforming technologies are reshaping the future of communication systems, providing scalable and efficient solutions for multi-orbit satellite communication and 5G networks. This workshop will explore these technologies’ pivotal roles, from theoretical foundations to practical implementations, highlighting their impact on connectivity advancements.
The session will cover from fundamentals of mmWave beamforming to multi-orbit satellite antenna design, including applications like Printed antennas like Reflector, Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) , and cutting-edge multi-orbit satellite antennas. Practical deployment scenarios will be demonstrated using tools such as NI’s USRP/X410 and Allbesmart’s OAIBOX for FR2 network coverage and MIMO. Additionally, participants will delve into advanced satellite communication systems encompassing GEO, MEO, and LEO architectures, as well as emerging applications in High Altitude Platform Systems (HAPS), UAVs, and autonomous sensing.
Designed for researchers, engineers, and students, this workshop provides a comprehensive platform for engaging with the latest breakthroughs in phased array antennas and beamforming technologies. Attendees will gain valuable insights into leveraging these innovations to overcome communication challenges and drive the future of multi-orbit satellite and 5G connectivity.
