Recent developments in both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks are focused on multiple beamantenna systems to increase data rates and to provide more flexibility in resource allocation. Some synergiesbetween space and terrestrial systems are emerging as the fifth generation (5G) of wireless systems introducemillimeter-wave frequencies for short range and indoor applications. This provides a unique opportunity fortransfer of technology, as requirements for satcom user terminals and cell tower antennas present somesimilarities. While phased array antennas are getting a great deal of attention, their cost still remains high formass market applications and alternative solutions based on simpler beamforming techniques are beingconsidered. These solutions are also of interest in radar systems and microwave instruments combining highresolution and wide angular field of view. This talk will review recently proposed beamforming techniques andtechnologies, extending the capabilities of known concepts including seminal contributions such as the Butlermatrix and the Luneburg lens. A comparative discussion will also be provided, addressing the respectiveadvantages and limitations of the presented techniques.

Biography:

Nelson J. G. Fonseca (Senior Member, IEEE) received the M.Eng. degree from Ecole NationaleSupérieure d’Electrotechnique, Electronique, Informatique, Hydraulique et Télécommunications (ENSEEIHT),Toulouse, France, in 2003, the M.Sc. degree from the Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, Quebec, Canada, also in2003, and the PhD degree from Institut National Polytechnique de Toulouse – Université de Toulouse, France, in2010, all in electrical engineering. He currently works as Innovation Manager for Anywaves, Toulouse, France,contributing to the development of their custom space-segment antennas portfolio. He is also the foundingdirector of 3SPACE Innovation, Paris, France, a startup developing novel ground-segment and terrestrial wirelesscommunication antenna systems. His research interests include multiple beam antennas for space missions,beamformer theory and design, ground terminal antennas and novel manufacturing techniques. He hasauthored or co-authored more than 320 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conferences, and has over 50patents issued or pending.
