DESCRIPTION:Dr. Nacer Chahat has more than ten years of experience designin
 g\, analyzing\, and developing antennas for telecommunications\, RADAR\, a
 nd imaging systems. His experiences include spacecraft antennas\, telecomm
 unication\, and payload systems engineering. He is also specialized in acc
 urate EMI/EMC for large satellites and led the EMI/EMC qualification of th
 e Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) payload. He has authored and c
 o-authored more than 100 technical journal articles and conference papers\
 , written four book chapters\, and holds several patents. He also wrote th
 e textbook entitled “CubeSat Antenna Designs” published by Wiley\, des
 cribing all of his innovative work on CubeSat antennas developed at JPL. H
 e has developed key antenna technologies enabling new types of missions fo
 r Earth Science and Deep Space Exploration. He is co-inventor of the iconi
 c deployable reflectarray used on the Mars Cube One (MarCO) mission\, the 
 world’s first interplanetary CubeSat. He also co-invented the award-winn
 ing Raincube mesh reflector antenna used on the first active radar on a Cu
 beSat. He also invented the Europa Lander antenna enabling direct communic
 ation from the surface of Europa (600 million km away)\, capable of surviv
 ing the harsh environment of the icy moon of Jupiter.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. N
