Multibeam Spatially Fed Antennas for SatCom Communications
Talk of Prof. Manuel Arrebola, Applied Electromagnetics Group at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), Madrid, Spain
This talk will present the latest advances made by the Applied Electromagnetics Group at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM) in the field of spatially fed antennas, such as reflectarray and transmitarray antennas. The working principle, design techniques, and experimental results of satellite-borne reflectarray antennas will be addressed focussed into two applications: multibeam antennas for high-throughput GEO satellites and deployable multi-panel reflectarray antennas for small (cubesat) and medium-sized satellites. Additionally, configurations and demonstrators of transmitarray and reflectarray antennas with beamscanning capability for SATCOM ground stations will be discussed.

Manuel Arrebola of Applied Electromagnetics Group at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), Madrid, Spain
Multibeam Spatially Fed Antennas for SatCom Communications
Biography:
Manuel Arrebola received his Ph.D. degree from the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), Spain, in 2008. In 2007, he joined the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Oviedo, Spain, where he became Associate Professor with the Signal Theory and Communications Group. Since 2025 he is back at UPM, where he is an Associate Professor with the Applied Electromagnetics Group. His current research interests include the application of innovative manufacturing techniques in mm and sub-mm wave antenna design and the development of efficient analysis, design, and optimization techniques of spatially fed arrays, including reflectarrays and transmitarrays, and periodic structures for satellite and terrestrial applications. Dr. Arrebola was a co-recipient of the 2007 Sergei A. Schelkunoff Transactions Prize Paper Award from the
IEEE AP-Society. Since 2022, he has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE T-AP and since 2024, he has been appointed as a Regional Delegate of the Europ. Assoc. on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP).
