SP3. "Advanced reconfigurable antennas for modern wireless communications"

Organizers:  Steve Hang Wong (City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong) & Laure Huitema (XLIM - University of Limoges, France)

Antennas are limited by fundamental physical limits in terms of compactness, bandwidth and radiation performances. For next-generation applications, it is required to offer new additional or flexible capabilities to enhance system performances. Developing reconfigurable antennas allows changing the antenna operating frequency band, the angle of the radiation boresight and the antenna polarization. It is therefore the ideal alternative to compensate for various housings and implanted environments, to optimize the link budget and enhance the quality and the reliability of wireless links. This session focuses on all kinds of reconfigurable antennas for future wireless communications.

Topics:

  1. Frequency tunable antenna; 
  2. Adaptive antenna;
  3. Pattern reconfigurable antenna;
  4. Polarization reconfigurable antenna;
  5. Antenna for autonomous devices.

Confirmed Invited Speakers:

  1. Laure Huitema, University of Limoges, France
  2. Kenneth Tong, University College London, UK
  3. Yujian Li, Beijing Jiaotong University, China
  4. Zhe Chen, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong
