University is inviting applications for a fully-funded PhD studentship
within the Broadband Wireless Communication Research Group in the
School of Engineering and Digital Arts, University of Kent, Canterbury,
UK. This is a 3-year project, funded by the European Commission (EC),
and the researcher is to work under the supervision of Professor Steven
Gao. The PhD student is to start on October 1, 2013. International
students are eligible for this PhD studentship. Applicants must have a
Masters degree in engineering or physics with experience in antenna
designs, or electromagnetics or microwave engineering.
About Scholarship: The University of Kent is well-known internationally, for research work in frequency-selective surfaces (FSS), antennas, RF/microwave/millimeter-wave technologies and wireless communications. The research is conducted as part of the EC project “DIFFERENT” in collaboration with leading academic and industrial partners across the Europe. The aim of this project is to investigate the design, modelling and development of novel multi-band multi-polarization array antennas for digital beamforming synthetic aperture radars (DBF SAR) on-board small satellites in low earth orbits. DBF SAR is the next-generation radar system for earth observation from the space.
The University of Kent has excellent antenna and RF/microwave/millimeter-wave measurement facilities including various anechoic, near-field and plane-wave chambers, the largest of which operates between 400MHz and 110GHz with a totally new measurement system including a dedicated vector network analyzer. The antennas laboratories also contain broadband network analyzers operating from 10MHz to 110GHz. It has a well-equipped mechanical workshop with newly installed computer controlled machinery, which is for the fabrication of antennas and RF/microwave circuits. This is a 3-year project, funded by the European Commission (EC), and the researcher is to work under the supervision of Professor Steven Gao. The PhD student is to start on October 1, 2013. In this project, the main roles of the PhD student will include: 1) the design, modelling, simulation and analysis of novel multi-band multi-polarization array antennas for DBF SAR on board small satellites in low earth orbits; 2). Antenna fabrication and testing; 3) digital beamforming algorithms for digital beamforming arrays; 4). The student will give presentations to European partners and write technical reports and publications in international journals and conferences.
