Prof. Fabien Ferrero of Université Côte d'Azur

Mobile devices that operate in the FR2 frequency range experience a high path loss, something that can be solved by using beamforming antenna arrays. In this webinar, we will discuss the topic of antenna design and the measurement process for multi-beam 5G FR2 antennas. We will also focus on the specific ongoing designs developed in the frame of the energy-efficient mmWave for the EEMW4FIX project funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR). Together, we will also discuss and explain the beam switch concept that is based on a phased array and flat lens at 30 GHz.
In this webinar, e design optimization process will be demonstrated by using the R&S®ATS800B CATR benchtop antenna test system and introducing the specific Python library to control the different parts of the antenna radiation system.

Biography:

Fabien Ferrero (Member, IEEE) received a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Nice-Sophia Antipolis in 2007. From 2008 to 2009, he worked for IMRA Europe (Aisin Seiki Research Center) as a Research Engineer and developed automotive antennas. In 2010, he is recruited as an Associate Professor with the Polytechnic School, Université Nice Sophia-Antipolis. Since 2018, he has been a Full Professor with the Université Côte d’Azur. His studies concerned the design and measurement of millimetric antennas, IoT systems, and reconfigurable antennas. He is a member of LEAT (Laboratoire d’Electronique, Antennes et Telecommunications).
