DESCRIPTION:These two distinguished speakers are from European Space Agency
 \, Netherlands. They will present the state of art work in the following a
 reas.\n\nThe objective of the two IEEE Distinguished Lectures consists in 
 presenting the state of the art and the on-going developments in Multi-Bea
 m Antennas (MBAs) and Beam-Forming Networks (BFNs). They find application 
 in several fields including communications\, remote sensing (e.g. radars\,
  radiometers\, etc.)\, electronic surveillance and defense systems\, scien
 ce (e.g. multibeam radio telescopes)\, RF navigation systems\, etc. They m
 ay be installed on board satellites\, airplanes\, trains\, buses\, buildin
 gs\, cars etc. MBAs and BFNs are becoming also fundamental elements in eme
 rging MIMO and 5G communications. The BFN plays an essential role in any a
 ntenna system relaying on a set of radiating elements to generate a beam. 
 The lectures cover both theoretical and practical aspects for the followin
 g topics:\n\n- Overview of system applications\n- Multibeam Antenna Archit
 ectures (based on Reflectors\, Arrays\, Lenses)\n- Beamforming Networks\n-
  Analogue BFNs (Corporate\, Blass\, Nolen\, Butler matrices\, Digital BFNs
 )\n\n- Overview of some Operational Multibeam Antennas/BFNs\n- On-going Eu
 ropean Developments\n- Current Design and Technological Challenges\n\nCo-s
