In the new generation of wireless communications systems in the millimeter band, reconfigurable antennas are becoming an essential technological pillar, as they must compensate for the high propagation losses at high frequencies. As a consequence, the development of new high-performance terminals for moving vehicles, trains, airplanes or rescue equipment is today a goal pursued by many companies worldwide. In this context, the main objective of this project is the development of electronically beam-steerable antennas for communications systems in the millimeter band. Specifically, this project aims at improving the efficiency of these antennas by integrating low-loss waveguide technologies instead of traditional printed technologies. The research will focus on the design, fabrication and experimental validation of two technological demonstrators in the K/Ka bands, valid for satellite communications in motion.
