Abstracts of original papers are solicited for inclusion in the workshop programme. They shall clearly identify the object of the proposed papers and highlight the underlying advances, recent developments and innovation.
Antenna systems concepts, innovative technology designs and developments, as well as modelling/testing/validation procedures are solicited addressing, but not limited to:
- Feed and array fed reflector antennas.
- Advanced reflector technologies (large aperture, polarisation and frequency sensitive reflectors, antenna deployment and pointing mechanisms).
- Advanced structure concepts (incl. highly stable and low mass adaptive ones).
- Low mass and highly stable antenna structures.
- Interferometric, synthetic aperture antenna systems.
- Feed systems, focal arrays and BFN (low and high power, including PIM and multipactor issues).
- Single/multiple reconfigurable beam space antennas
- Multiple beam antennas using a single aperture.
- Direct radiating arrays based antenna including sparse and thinned arrays.
- Active and adaptive antennas and their equipments.
- Signal processing antennas (including digital beamforming).
- Reflectarrays and lenses based antennas.
- Millimetre and sub-millimetre wave antennas: design and technologies.
- RF transparent, reflective or absorptive materials.
- Low gain antennas
- User terminals for fixed or mobile communications and navigation.
- Ground-station antennas (TT&C, Data transmission and Navigation systems ground reference).
- Antenna modelling techniques, algorithms and tools.
- Antenna electrical (RF, PIM ,Multipactor) and mechanical testing.
- Antenna interaction with structures.
- Other topics.
