Wideband arrays are key technologies for fully leveraging these wide bandwidths and establishing efficient dat a links for mobile users. In this context\, long slot arrays and\, in gene ral\, connected arrays\, are very attractive solutions\, offering decade-w ide bandwidths\, a large field of view\, and a low-profile design. During this presentation\, I will discuss the modeling of long slot arrays and hi ghlight their advantages in terms of bandwidth and scanning capabilities\, as well as their physical implementation. We will also discuss how thinne d connected array solutions may be implemented without affecting the radia tion properties of such antennas. We will explore how quasi-optical planar systems can be utilized to feed these arrays\, thereby minimizing the los ses and costs associated with beamforming networks for arrays operating at higher frequencies\, while maintaining the flexibility of the radiating u nit. We will also cover the implementation of long slot arrays across vari ous technologies\, particularly in millimeter and sub-millimeter frequency bands\, aimed at next communications networks. Finally\, I will demonstra te the capability of these arrays to radiate short\, high-power pulses\, t hereby extending their applications to high-power scenarios.\n\nCo-sponsor ed by: Politecnico di Bari\n\nSpeaker(s): Mauro Ettorre\, \n\nRoom: Aula C onsiliare DEI\, Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e dell'Informazione (DEI)\, Politecnico di Bari\, Via Edoardo Orabona\, 4\, Bari\, Puglia\, It aly\, 70125 LOCATION:Room: Aula Consiliare DEI\, Dipartimento di Ingegneria Elettrica e dell'Informazione (DEI)\, Politecnico di Bari\, Via Edoardo Orabona\, 4\ , Bari\, Puglia\, Italy\, 70125 ORGANIZER:francesco.prudenzano@poliba.it SEQUENCE:47 SUMMARY:IEEE Distinguished Lecture at Politecnico di Bari – Exploring the Benefits of Long Slot Arrays for Next-Generation Communication Networks a nd Beyond URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/584104 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-size: 18pt\;"><strong>Po litecnico di Bari</strong></span></p>\n<p><strong>IEEE MTT-S and AP-S Inte r-Society Distinguished Lecturer Program</strong></p>\n<p>Local Organizer: Prof. Francesco Prudenzano</p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><span style="font-size : 18pt\;"><em>Exploring the Benefits of Long Slot Arrays for Next-Generati on Communications Networks and Beyond</em></span></p>\n<p><strong>Dr. Maur o Ettorre</strong><br>Professor\, FIEEE<br>Electrical and Computer Enginee ring<br>Michigan State University\, East Lansing\, MI 48824</p>\n<p>&nbsp\ ;</p>\n<p>High-speed wireless networks will leverage the abundant bandwidt h available in the sub- and millimeter frequency ranges\, mainly through X G systems and New Space technologies.
