E-Band Multibeam Transmitarrays for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Aided Communications
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aided wireless communications promise to provide high-speed cost-effective wireless connectivity without needing fixed infrastructure coverage. They are a key technology enabler for sixth generation (6G) wireless networks, where a three-dimensional coverage including space, aero and terrestrial networks is to be deployed to guarantee seamless service continuity and reliability. Owing to the aerodynamic requirements, it is highly desirable to employ conformal antennas that can follow the shapes of UAVs to reduce the extra drag and fuel consumption. To enable hundred gigabits-per-second (Gbps) data rates and massive connectivity for 6G networks, E-band antennas have drawn an increasing amount of attention due to the vast available spectrum and low atmospheric attenuation. This talk will present the latest advances on E-band conformal transmitarrays developed by Dr Qin’s group. In particular, a new method to achieve multi-beam radiations with a wide angular coverage will be introduced.

Biography:
Pei-Yuan Qin received a Bachelor Degree in Electronic Engineering from Xidian University, Xi’an, China, in 2006, and a joint Ph.D. Degree from Xidian University and Macquarie University, Australia, in electromagnetic fields and microwave technology in 2012.
From 2012 to 2015, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australia. From 2015 to 2016, he was a Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Lecturer with University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia. Since 2022, he is an Associate Professor with UTS. He is a visiting scholar with Harvard University in 2018. His research interests are in the areas of reconfigurable antennas, conformal antennas and arrays.
Dr Qin was awarded an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Researcher Award in 2017. He has secured a few highly competitive fund from ARC. He was awarded the Vice-Chancellor’s Commendation for academic excellence by Macquarie University in 2012. His team’s research has won many awards, including 2016 Computer Simulation Technology (CST) University Publication Award and Best Paper Award in 2019 ISAP. He has served as General Co-Chairs/organising committee members for many flagship conferences in Antennas and Propagation Society. He is currently severing the Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation and IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation. He is the Chair of Australian Node - Antenna Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA).
