DC6: Robust designs of reconfigurable integrated circuits with glide symmetry for G-band radars
The Task 2.3 of the WP2 will be conducted with the doctoral project of the Doctoral Candidate 6, Mr. Jorge MARTIN VILLAR.
The project will be supervised by POLITO (Francesca VIPIANA and Jorge TOBON) and SINOWAVE (Zhongxia Simon HE) .
Objectives
- Development of an integral-equation formulation exploiting GS for the modeling of the entire structure to overcome limitations of commercial software.
- Design of a 150 GHz antenna composed of travelling-wave elements integrated by means of GS EBG to achieve high compactness.
- Performance to be maximized are efficiency (absence of dielectric losses) and gain (closely spaced elements thanks to GS EBG) .
- Design of a BFN providing beam steering based on electrical/piezoelectrical reconfiguration and of AiP front end modules with integrated transceivers.
- Prototype and measurement of the designed system
Expected Results
Numerical formulation for GS geometries capable to model large and complex GS structures with reduced computation effort.
150 GHz antenna providing high efficiency and high gain.
Design method to implement a beam reconfiguration by means of mechanical reconfigurations.
Designed prototypes of GS integrated system meeting market requirements.
