E-Band Multibeam Transmitarrays for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Aided Communications

October 24, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aided wireless communications promise to provide high-speed cost-effective wireless connectivity without needing fixed infrastructure coverage. They are a key technology enabler for sixth generation (6G) wireless networks, where a three-dimensional coverage including space, aero and terrestrial networks is to be deployed to guarantee seamless service continuity and reliability. Owing to the aerodynamic requirements, it is highly desirable to employ conformal antennas that can follow the shapes of UAVs to reduce the extra drag and fuel consumption. To enable hundred gigabits-per-second (Gbps) data rates and massive connectivity for 6G networks, E-band antennas have drawn an increasing amount of attention due to the vast available spectrum and low atmospheric attenuation. This talk will present the latest advances on E-band conformal transmitarrays developed by Dr Qin’s group. In particular, a new method to achieve multi-beam radiations with a wide angular coverage will be introduced.
