 JOIN THE EUROPEAN
SPACE ADVENTURE
From the beginnings of the space age, Europe has been actively involved
in spaceflight. Today it launches satellites for Earth observation, navigation,
telecommunications and astronomy, sends probes to the far reaches of the
Solar System, and cooperates in the human exploration of space.
Space is a key asset for Europe, providing essential information needed
by decision-makers to respond to global challenges. Space provides
indispensable technologies and services, and increases our understanding
of our planet and the Universe. Since 1975, the European Space Agency
(ESA) has been shaping the development of this space capability.
By pooling the resources of 22 Member States, ESA undertakes programmes
and activities far beyond the scope of any single European country,
developing the launchers, spacecraft and ground facilities needed to keep
Europe at the forefront of global space activities.
ESA staff are based at several centres of expertise: ESA Headquarters
in Paris; the European Space Research & Technology Centre (ESTEC) in
Noordwijk, the Netherlands; ESRIN, the centre for Earth observation, in
Frascati, Italy; the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC), Darmstadt,
Germany; the European Astronaut Centre (EAC), Cologne, Germany; and the
European Space Astronomy Centre, near Madrid, Spain, and the European
Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT), Harwell,
United Kingdom. ESA also has a centre at Redu, Belgium.

Dear Colleague,
Welcome to the 2017 edition of EuCAP, the 11th European Conference on
Antennas and Propagation1, owned by the European Association on Antennas
and Propagation (EurAAP), organised each year since 2006, which has beco-
me over the years a major and referenced event in the area of antennas
and propagation and now attracts a wide audience from all continents.

foster the meeting and cross-fertilization

between academia, research centres and industry.
From its early times, EuCAP has been created in order to foster the meeting
and cross-fertilization between academia, research centres and indus-
try.To that aim, tools such as application tracks, industrial workshops, tech-
nical tours and above all a large exhibition have been implemented, in narrow
association with the conference.

Another tradition of this conference is its organization into both regular ses-
sions (oral, poster) and convened sessions, the latter focusing their contents
on special topics defined in advance. This allows a good "state of the art"
coverage of the topic made by the active researchers and teams.

10 11th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation Paris, France 19-24 March 2017
 Top level experts from around the world
have been invited
Top level experts from around the world have been invited to give plenary
keynote speeches or semi-plenary talks. In addition, the conference com-
prises a set of scientific workshops and short courses, the latter allowing
young as well as experienced researchers to quickly grasp the essentials of
a topic new to them.

Further enrichments in the conference "instruments", such as best paper

awards and grants, allow to distinguish specially meriting contributions and
to highlight the outcome of these works.

a very lively and multidisciplinary one,

Although antennas and propagation may seem a well established, not to say old,
scientific domain, it is actually very lively and multidisciplinary one, mixing
the deepest electromagnetic theoretical aspects, mathematical signal and data
processing methods, physics of devices and physics of fields, software develop-
ments and technological fabrication aspects, many of these bringing new system
developments. Numerous topics did not exist a few years ago, and the large nu-
mber of possible applications generate multiple outcomes of, e.g., novel antenna
design and propagation modeling approaches.

EuCAP is both young and mature !

Past EuCAP participants (since many come back and return again !) will no-
tice a few differences with past editions. Indeed, EuCAP is both young and
mature ! Each new edition benefits from the experience of previous ones
and from bottom-up messages by the scientific and industry communities, by
committee members, by presenters, by authors and by exhibitors. Therefore,
we hope that EuCAP 2017 will be at least as successful as the previous edi-
tions. Paris has been the location of important historical milestones in anten-
nas and wireless propagation, so the odds are with us.

We wish you an excellent stay in Paris, hoping that you will take advantage
of your presence here by taking a few days off, enjoying the city and its sur-
roundings and profiting by the numerous French gastronomy opportunities for
all budgets. Yes, you can!

A Whirlwind of Innovation Time
in Space Technology 10:0010:40

Abstract
This presentation will primarily turn the spotlight on the hot
topics of the moment in Space activities: the arrival of new
players, mainly from the digital world where young millio-
naires discover a passion for space and are receptive to the
idea that space can be conquered by private entrepreneurs;
the emergence of large scale satellite constellations; the
enthusiasm for nanosatellites enabling the academic world
to nurture its training and research ambition; the growing
volumes of satellite data, and the development of space ap-
plications fuelled by the spectacular transition to the digital
economy.
We will then address some of the key technologies for the
Space of tomorrow (including those in the field of RF tech-
nics, antennas, and propagation), that need to be mastered
in order to adapt to the foreseen changes.
The talk will finally be illustrated by an example of innova-
tion management in a timeline of 25 years in the field Earth
Observation based on RF and antenna techniques (radar
altimetry) for ocean observation and water management.

Human Centric Antennas
Abstract
Recently, wearable wireless devices have been widely used
in our daily life. Also, implantable wireless devices have
been developed and become available for various monito-
ring as well as identification systems. Unlike conventional
wireless devices, wearable or implantable devices are used
on or in the human body. In this sense, body-centric wi-
reless communications (BCWCs) have become a very ac-
tive area of research. On the other hand, radio-frequency
or microwave medical devices used for cancer treatment
and surgical operation have completely different functions.
However, they are used on or in the human body. In terms of
antennas installed inside the devices, such medical devices
have lots of similarities to BCWCs. To design properly and to
make the best use of specific antennas for different wire-
less devices, it is important to treat them as human-centric
antennas. In general, the problem of an antenna placed on
or in the human body can be treated as a so-called boun-
dary value problem where the human body is considered
as a lossy medium. However, in reality and simplicity, an
individual case is treated appropriately in a specific manner
by numerical simulation such as the FDTD technique.
The paper introduces a few examples of wearable anten-
nas as well as implantable antennas developed and tested
in our laboratory. In addition, the paper describes some
challenges of human-centric antennas.

Affordable Phased-Arrays for 5G
and SATCOM: Ending the Marconi Era
Abstract
This talk will present the latest work on microwave and
mm-wave phased arrays at UCSD and in the world. The talk
shows that one can build affordable phased arrays using
low-cost silicon-RFICs (RF integrated circuits), and these
phased-arrays are now being considered to replace the
movable reflector for satellite communications on airplanes,
ships and moving platforms. The silicon-based phased-ar-
rays are also being considered for terrestrial 5G commu-
nication systems, to be employed first to replace the last
mile for internet and video delivery to homes, and then
for high-speed links between base-stations and a mobile
user. In this context, phased-array systems achieving Gbps
at 300 meters and 1000 meters will be presented. It will be
shown that low-cost phased-arrays have changed the way
we think about our future communication systems from SA-
TCOM to 5G.

A Special Antenna Gain Measurement
Technique
Abstract
Conventional antenna gain measurement
techniques such as the reference antenna
method and three-antenna method involve
transmission (S21) measurements of addi-
tional antennas in addition to the antenna
under test (AUT). This not only increases
the amount of measurements but also in-
troduce error associated with setup changes
and reference gain accuracy. The scattering
and unbalanced current radiation from the
cable connected to AUT can sometime intro-
duce measurement error. Furthermore, the
power loss associated with the long cable
used in the S21 measurements below VHF
and above Ku band becomes a major limita-
tion factor in measurement sensitivity. This
talk discusses an alternative antenna gain
measurement technique based on backs-
cattering measurement of the antenna. This
approach completely eliminates the cable
connected to the antenna as well as refe-
rence gain antenna. The methodology and
simulation examples of antenna gain pattern
measurements will be demonstrated. The
accuracy and limitations of this method will
also be discussed. This gain measurement
could be very useful for determining gain
patterns of antenna in situ such as antenna
on chip, wearable antennas, and antenna on

Antenna Current Optimization Time
and Optimal Design for Small Antennas 15:0015:40

Abstract
Antenna design can be considered as an art of shaping and
choosing materials to produce a desired current distribution
on the antenna structure. Antenna current optimization is a
tool to determine an optimal current distribution which can
be used for physical understanding, as a priori estimates of
the possibilities to design antennas, physical bounds, and
as figures of merits for antenna designs. Antenna current
optimization is particularly useful for small antennas for
which the Q-factor and stored energy are of primary im-
portance. The antenna design problem is preceded with a
convex optimization problem expressed in the currents on
the antenna. This convex optimization problem is solved ef-
ficiently at a computational cost comparable to a Method of
Moments (MoM) solution of the same geometry.
In this presentation, antenna current optimization and
stored electromagnetic energy expressions are reviewed. A
tutorial description of the steps used to determine the lower
bounds on the Q-factor for arbitrarily shaped structures and
structures embedded in metallic structures are presented.
Moreover, it is demonstrated how the approach can be mo-
dified to handle lossy and dispersive materials as well as
antenna quantities such as efficiency, gain, directivity, and
capacity.

Antenna Designs Based on Gap Waveguide
Technology
Abstract
Gap waveguide technology is based on the control
of wave propagation by using periodic structures.
This technology, derived from the metamaterials and
artificial surfaces background, has been employed
during the last seven years to develop new anten-
na system components. The main advantage is the
compromised low loss characteristic/low cost fea-
ture, provided by the possibility of using only metal
and the non required electrical contact. Consequently,
the technology has a lot of potential to be use in the
millimeter wave frequency range. Along these years,
classical antenna designs have been revisited using
this technology as for instance slot arrays or leaky
wave antennas but also other system components
such as filters, diplexers or feed networks.
A global overview of the technology, the different me-
tasurfaces to be used and mainly the state of the art
in terms of antenna designs making use of it will be
presented in the talk.

Channel Modeling for Dependable Vehicular
Connectivity
Abstract
Vehicles and other road users will be linked to each other
and the road infrastructure to make traffic more efficient,
cleaner, and safer. For example, Vehicle-To-Vehicle (V2V)
and Vehicle-To-Infrastructure (V2I) communication enables
cooperation and intelligent route management in transport
networks. To achieve these ambitious goals, wireless links
must become dependable: The information relevant for
intelligent transport systems (ITS) shall be shared reliably
within a tolerated latency.
Challenges for cooperative ITS are posed by the nonstatio-
nary time-frequency-selective fading processes in vehicu-
lar channels. Fortunately, the nonstationary vehicular fading
may be characterized by assuming local stationarity for a
finite region in the time-frequency plane. For such region,
the wide-sense stationarity and uncorrelated scattering
assumptions hold approximately. Thus, it makes sense
to characterize the channel by a localscattering function
(LSF). Estimates for the LSF from measurements collected
in the DRIVEWAY09 campaign are discussed focusing on
ITS scenarios. Subsequently, the time-frequency-varying
power delay profile (PDP) and the time-frequency-varying
Doppler power spectral density (DSD) are discussed. Based
on these, the time-frequency-varying delay and Doppler
spreads are evaluated. High delay spreads are observed
in situations with rich scattering, whereas high Doppler
spreads characterize drive-by scenarios. These propaga-
tion-related channel characteristics translate into packet
transmission error sequences exhibiting strong temporal
dependencies. Finally, we discuss packet error models of
low complexity for large-scale cooperative ITS emulation.

Human body imaging and remote vital moni- Time
toring using UWB Doppler radar 15:4016:20

Abstract
This talk introduces recent developments in the signal pro-
cessing aspects of ultra-wideband (UWB) radar technology
for measuring human bodies. Ultra-wideband radar has
attracted increased attention because of its wide range of
applications, including measuring body shape and action
types, identifying concealed objects, and even remotely
measuring vital signs such as respiration and heartbeat.
This talk covers several advanced signal processing tech-
niques, which are applicable to UWB radar data for retrie-
ving information about the subject. Near-field radar imaging
technology is currently used for body scanners at airports
intended to detect concealed weapons. Our techniques
enable us to generate high-quality radar images quickly,
which is crucial for real-time applications. Another tech-
nique we have been developing is related to noncontact
measurement of vital signs, which could be a breakthrough
in the recent trend of health-conscious gadgets that non-in-
vasively measure heartrate. Our signal processing helped
us to achieve an unprecedented level of accuracy in the
noncontact measurement of instantaneous heartbeat inter-
vals using a multiple-input multiple-output UWB radar sys-
tem. The performance of these techniques has been verified
using various measurements.

On-body Antennas for Critical Bio-Signal
Monitoring Systems
Abstract
Wireless body area networks (WBANs) have received a
great deal of attention for medical and health care appli-
cations. In order to monitor the bio-signals, it is necessa-
ry to ensure the robust communication links among the
WBAN devices; the implantable device (in-body) to the
wearable device (on-body), the wearable device to the
wearable device, and the wearable device to the monito-
ring device (off-body) communications.
In this invited talk, three types of on-body antennas for
bio-signal monitoring systems will be presented. Firstly,
antenna design techniques for on-body to on-body com-
munications are discussed; (1) TM21 higher order mode
patch antenna with monopole-like radiation; (2) additio-
nal corrugation/EBG structure for body surface wave en-
hancement. Secondly, designs of dual-modes antennas
for repeater systems are introduced. In order to design
dual-modes antennas for in-on-on and on-on-off commu-
nication links, we propose a few miniaturization techiques
as well as how to integrate two radiating elements with
different operating frequencies into a single antenna
structure. Lastly, the textile antenna using all-textile ma-
terials such as conductive textile, conductive thread, and
non-conductive fabric for practical wearable applications
is presented.
With the fast advent of the aged society, the market for
bio-signal monitoring systems is consistently expanding.
Since an on-body antenna (wearable antenna) is one of
the key components and plays an important role in esta-
blishing the successful communication channel for bio-si-
gnal monitoring systems, the proper design of on-body
antennas considering practical applicability becomes very
important issue.

Overview of OTA testing
of 5G enabled devices
Abstract
The promise of 5G and internet of things (IoT) is a future in
which an inconceivable number of everyday devices are
connected with incredible speeds.
4G was the first mobile system actually designed with global
standardization. This was one of the key factors in the success
of 4G and the speed of its deployment. Today, the main objec-
tive of the communication community is to realise common
standards for 5G and build a global system. The deployment of
test systems at various prestigious events will then follow. The
2018 Winter Olympics in Korea and the 2020 Summer Olym-
pics in Japan are examples of such pilot systems. Finally, users
will have 5G devices and will enjoy the full performance of this
new technology.
We know that test and measurements of 5G enabled devices
and base-stations will differ widely from what we are doing
today. 5G implies higher and widely available spectrum at fre-
quencies up to 100GHz, which can accommodate the imple-
mentation of Massive-MIMO involving multiple small antennas
and in-device processing. This will move the emphasis from
the antenna towards system testing. Important parameters,
determined from conducted testing for 4G, will likely be perfor-
med in Over-The-Air (OTA) setups in tomorrows 5G. This puts
a strong requirement on the measurement industry to provide
effective testing solutions to developers, industries and regu-
lators.
As testing technology, the very effective multi-probe systems
have evolved with the development of 1 to 4G technology in the
last 25 years. It is today a reference for OTA testing of such de-
vices. While concepts such as testing in near and far field (NF,
FF) is less critical in current 1-4G standardisation, NF testing
and NF performance of devices is likely to be a critical issue for
5G. In this paper/presentation we will give an introduction to
existing measurement technology and a vision on the evolution
of testing technology for 5G enabled devices.

Terahertz Science,
Technology, and Applications
Abstract
For more than last forty years, terahertz components and
instruments have primarily been developed for space
science applications in radio astronomy and planetary
sciences. However, in recent years, terahertz waves are in-
creasingly being used in commercial applications such as
high speed communications, security imaging, autonomous
landing and refueling of airplanes, and medicines. In spite
of all these fascinating scientific and commercial potential,
the terahertz frequency range (loosely defined as 300 GHz
< < 10 THz) still remains one of the least utilized electro-
magnetic bands because of the unavailability of commer-
cial source and sensor components, and sub-systems.
In this presentation, an overview of the state of the terahertz
technology will be presented. The talk will detail the science
and other applications that specifically require technology
at terahertz frequencies. The challenges of the future ge-
neration instruments, detectors, and antennas at these fre-
quencies in addressing the needs for critical scientific and
commercial applications will also be discussed.

Transmission equations for single and
multiple antenna systems - from basic
formulations to antenna measurements in
complex environments
Abstract
Under far-field conditions, the transmission of electro-
magnetic waves is commonly described by the Friis
transmission equation, which is just derived from en-
ergy conservation. Wave propagation effects can be
included by ray concepts together with appropriate
phase terms. The corresponding transmit and receive
antenna transfer functions indicate that the transmis-
sion and reception behaviors of electromagnetic waves
are different in the time domain due to different fre-
quency dependencies and some people even say that
single antennas are, therefore, not reciprocal in the
time domain. Motivated in particular by the needs of
near-field antenna measurements, we will look into a
couple of near-field antenna transmission equations,
where we will find that spectral formulations of such
transmission equations are commonly advantageous in
terms of physical insight and numerical treatment and
we will show that single antenna transmission equa-
tions are known, which would not raise any question
on the time domain reciprocity behavior of antennas. A
very flexible and numerically advantageous near-field
transmission equation works with spectral propagating
plane wave representations and it is found that this
equation is nothing else than a near-field generaliza-
tion of the Friis transmission equation. Based on this
transmission equation, we will formulate antenna field
transformation algorithms and we will show the perfor-
mance of such algorithms for field transformations in
complex environments, where reflection and scattering
effects are involved or where only near-field measure-
ments without phase information are available.

Context
Interferences are becoming more and more
common due to the growing number of wire-
less systems and applications which are used
in our everyday life and that crowd the frequen-
cy spectrum. When the main beam gain times
the desired signal is less than the sidelobe gain
times the interference signal, then the interfe-
rence overwhelms the desired signal. An adap-
tive antenna adjusts its antenna pattern to steer
the main beam in the direction of the desired
signal while placing nulls in the direction of the
interference. In this framework, the course is fo-
cused on adaptive antenna arrays and is aimed
at presenting a review, starting from basic theo-
retical concepts, of the principal technologies
and algorithms used for the control of these an-
tenna systems up to the most recent advances.
The theoretical part will be corroborated with
examples on the use of adaptive arrays for real
applications.
Course content
Adaptive arrays are antenna systems that confi-
gure their radiation properties in real time in or-
der to improve the reception of desired signals
in the presence of interference. They are widely
used in well-established applications like radar,
sonar, seismic, and communications and are
of great interest also in novel systems related
to automotive, navigation and remote sensing.
These antenna systems are designed to com-
plement other interference suppression tech-
niques, such as low sidelobes, spread-spec-
trum techniques, and high directivity. This short
course is divided into three main parts: theory,
algorithms, and architectures.

(IV) 5G antennas
In the first part the fundamental parameters
of a base station antenna are discussed in the
context of radio network design. In particular
we discuss parameters such as gain, radiation
patterns, frequency bands and power handling
and put them in the context of cell planning, pro-
pagation and capacity.
In the second part a general overview of base
station antenna design is given. In particular the
design aspects of radiators, feed networks and
reflectors are discussed.
In the third part of the course we give an over-
view of the underlying theory of diversity and
MIMO systems. In particular we discuss the re-
quirements that these systems put on the base
station antennas in order to be able to deliver
the data rates expected from LTE. In particular
we look in detail at the implementation of multi-
ple antennas in the various releases of the 3GPP
standard.
In the final part, we discuss the various multi-
ple antenna and massive MIMO concepts that
has been developed within the European project
METIS, which is supposed to lay out the foun-
dations for the 5G standard to be deployed in
around the year 2020.

Pavel VALTR received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees
both in radio electronics from the Czech Technical Uni-
versity in Prague, Czech Republic, in 2004 and 2007,
respectively. From 2007 to 2009, he was a Research
Fellow at the University of Vigo, Vigo, Spain, working
on various topics in electromagnetic wave propaga-
tion including rough surface scattering, vegetation
scattering, land-mobile satellite channel modeling
and outdoor-to indoor penetration modelling. In 2009,
he joined the European Space Agency (ESA/ESTEC),
Noordwijk, The Netherlands, as a Postdoctoral Re-
search Fellow where he was investigating interference
between terrestrial services and deep-space stations.
Since 2012 he has been with the Department of Elec-
tromagnetic Field of the Czech Technical University in
Prague as a Researcher and Lecturer. His research
interests include wireless and satellite communica-
tions, long-range terrestrial propagation including the
effects of ducting, troposcatter and terrain diffrac-
tion. Other of his research areas are computational
methods in wave propagation, mainly ray-tracing,
uniform theory of diffraction, parabolic equation and
physical optics.
Context
Basic principles of electromagnetic wave pro-
pagation and their knowledge form a basis for
development of all kinds of communication ser-
vices. A range of various propagation prediction
methods is available. For instance, ITU Recom-
mendations provide techniques and algorithms
to characterize wireless communication links
in terms of path loss, reliability etc. Numerical
methods as the most accurate approach of mo-
delling, however, are often not utilized when it
comes to long-range propagation prediction due
to very large size of computational domain. Pa-
rabolic equation is one of those methods which
enable full-wave numerical solution of propaga-
tion prediction problems for large distances.
Recently, parabolic equation technique has be-
come increasingly popular method to analyse
and model effects of atmospheric refractivity on
radio wave propagation and to model diffraction
and scattering with application to communica-
tion links and radar.

Course content
The Short Course will cover topics related to
electromagnetic wave propagation for long
distances. Special attention will be paid to two
dominant physical phenomena influencing wave
propagation behaviour for long distances - at-
mospheric refraction and diffraction by terrain
obstacles. The core part of the Course will be
description of selected radio wave propagation
prediction methods and its implementation in
Matlab.
The Course will provide theoretical basis of
physics of radio wave propagation which will,
together with its mathematical description, be
transformed into Matlab code. At the end the
resulting computer code will be applied to vi-
sualize propagation behaviour given characte-
ristics of the propagation medium, to calculate
path loss of a point-to-point radio links and to
calculate signal coverage diagrams.
The attendees will become familiar with refrac-
tive properties of air, distribution of refractive
index of air and its statistics and how particular
anomalies of distributions of air refractivity can
enhance signal propagation at larger distances
and possibly cause interference with other
communication services or influence radar co-
verage.
At the end to the Course participant will be able
to implement parabolic equation method which
is a powerful technique to numerically solve
wave propagation prediction problems including
atmospheric refractivity and terrain diffraction.
Implementation of parabolic equation technique
using finite differences and Fourier transform
will be presented. It will be shown how to model
antenna pattern in parabolic equation calcula-
tion as well as how to include refractive index
of air in the calculation to simulate propagation
under various refractive conditions of atmos-
phere. The way to include diffraction effects by
terrain profile and other obstacles like buildings
will be demonstrated.
Other techniques to be mentioned is ray tracing

126 11th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation Paris, France 19-24 March 2017
Context
Medical applications of electromagnetic fields are
an emerging topic for the EurAAP community, as
witnessed by successful sessions in the last few
and upcoming EuCAP and IEEE AP conferences.
Through their involvement with COST Action
TD1301 "MiMed", which addresses medical ap-
plications of microwave imaging, the proponents
have realized the need of introducing microwave
engineers with diverse backgrounds to the theory
and practical implementation of advanced inverse
scattering methods for microwave imaging appli-
cations.
The course aims to achieve this goal by tackling
key aspects of microwave medical imaging. Built
on the successful experience of previous courses
given in EuCAP2015 and EuCAP2016, the short
course will introduce the audience to this com-
plex topic and also to provide hands-on tools that
would enable interested researchers to embark
on this field. We are confident that by explaining
the theory and implementation of microwave
imaging methods to a potentially large audience
(e.g. MiMed participants, as well as students from
various groups worldwide), we will motivate new
research in this important area.

Context
State of the art Radars are last millennium pro-
ducts and not state of the art system technology!
They will disappear from the market like many
other products in the past. The course looks into
the future of radar system engineering.
The core part of the course is the presenta-
tion of the concepts for future radar, which will
be significantly different from the state of the
art radars, with systems functions like Digital
Beamforming, MIMO Radar, Intelligent Signal
Coding (e.g. OFDM) and Antenna Array Imaging
for high resolution-small size radars.
Course content
The first Radar has been patented almost 110
years ago. Meanwhile the applications became
numerous and the system concepts have been
adopted to the available technologies for the
special application requirements. Typical exa-
mples are the pulse Radar, Synthetic Aperture
Radar, Phased Array or automotive Radar, to
name only four. In the next years the state of
the art Radar system concepts will experience
almost a revolution; the implementation of the
technologies that are available since quite some
years, mostly resulting from communication
technologies, has been too long delayed. The
major ideas/technologies for future Radar sys-
tem concepts are:
intelligent signal coding
MIMO Radar
Digital Beam-Forming (DBF)
array imaging
combination Radar x communication =
RadCom
The Intelligent Signal Coding covers time/
spectrum simultaneously, f.e. by OFDM. This
increases the efficiency of the rare spectrum
significantly and allows also a much more effi-
cient signal processing. The MIMO Radar is re-
garded as inevitable for an efficient Radar space
coverage. It includes as minimum two transmit

Zachary THOMAS MIERS received his B.Sc. and
M.Sc. from the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA.
While at the University of Colorado he was awarded
a National Science Foundation scholarship for Men-
toring through Critical Transition Points, as well as an
image processing research grant from the University

plications. He began his carrier working on RF noise
suppression and signal integrity in RF sub-system
assemblies at Picosecond Pulse Labs. Between 2007
and 2012, he was a principal microwave systems
engineer working at FIRST RF Corporation in Boulder,
CO, USA. While at FIRST RF he worked on a magnitude
of specialized antenna systems ranging from 150MHz
to 26.5GHz, with special focus surrounding unmanned
aerial vehicle radar and communication systems. Mr.
Miers is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the De-
partment of Electrical and Information Technology,
Lund University, Sweden. His main research interests
include applications of characteristic modes in anten-
na design and development, advanced mobile plat-
form communication systems utilizing MIMO techno-
logy, and antenna design and implementation utilizing
chassis coupled, traveling wave, and non-mechanical
beam steering antennas.
Context
In the past, antenna engineering relied on custo-
mizing existing antenna structures to meet a set
of requirements. Although spectacular advance-
ments in computational electromagnetics and
computational power over the past decade have
helped shorten the design cycle, the heavy use
of numerical optimization tools tends to diminish
the important roles of creativity, insights, and ex-
perience in synthesizing new antenna structures.
In this context, the Theory of Characteristic Mo-

des (TCM) perfectly interconnects modern com-
putational electromagnetics with the creativity,
insights, and experience of traditional antenna
engineering. By extracting the inherent radiation
properties of a structure, even new antenna en-
gineers with little prior experience can utilize a
TCM-based systematic and intelligent design ap-
proach, rather than relying on optimization algo-
rithms or traditional brute force methods.
Course content
This short course will illustrate how to use cha-
racteristic modes (CMs) to design many stan-
dard and complex antenna structures, showing
how insights can be derived and common an-
tenna knowledge can be used to design appli-
cation specific antennas. Specifically, we will
begin by motivating the fast-growing topic as a
unique approach to obtain valuable physical in-
sights into antenna design problems. Thereafter,
we will summarize the basic concepts of TCM,
including its derivation, characteristic attributes,
and modal tracking. CM analysis will then be
introduced, and a variety of examples will be gi-
ven to illustrate the effectiveness of this analysis
approach and the insights it provides. Next, the
specific example of terminal antenna design will
be given to illustrate how multiple characteristic
modes can be exploited below 1 GHz to achieve
MIMO antenna designs that not only provides
high total efficiency and low correlation, but
also substantial bandwidths. Moreover, it will
be shown that the design approach works well
for fully equipped terminals which includes in-
tegrated microphone, battery, screen, etcetera.
At this point, we will present a basic overview
of how to use TCM in all commercial electro-
magnetic suites that contain this feature (FEKO,
CST, WIPL-D). To help those who do not have
access to any of these commercial software
suites, we will also introduce our in-house TCM
software, which is based on Makarovs Me-
thod-of-Moments Matlab code. The code will be
shared to all attendees after the completion of
the course. We will wrap up the course by pre-
senting interesting future directions as well as

Context
As mobile communications and SatCom move
toward higher frequencies, flat lenses effectively
overcome limitations of devices such as phased
arrays, thus providing low-cost beam-scanning
terminals for ubiquitous connections. Near field
(NF) features add further applications of these
devices, such as NF communications and ima-
ging. These capabilities are obtained by using
metamaterials and metasurfaces, which grant
marvellous wave-propagation properties. Mas-
tering these technologies will be fundamental to
deal with next-generation antennas.
Unfortunately, exhaustive presentations from
basic to the most recent advancements on this
topic are not usually provided in conferences:
this is the aim of the course. Practical problems
of modelling and design of these structures will
be addressed with reference to recent advance-
ments in this domain. While providing a presen-
tation of recent research topics, attendees who
are unfamiliar with lens antennas will quickly be
brought to speed in the introductory talk, and
will be able to progress through to an advanced
level of understanding by the end of the course.
It will be a compelling voyage through the deve-
lopment of antenna devices and electromagne-
tic theory!
Course content
The short course will provide an in-depth des-
cription of typologies, modelling and design me-
thods for flat artificial lenses with applications

Several kinds of lenses will be described
(Luneburg, Eaton, Maxwell Fish-eye, Bes-
poken lenses) including a discussion about
transformation optics as a mean to design
specific lenses responding to one own needs.
2. Design of flat lenses: getting our hands
dirty (30 min., by Oscar Quevedo-Teruel)
Practical realizations of flat lenses will be
discussed, together with relevant design
procedures. A great variety of configurations
will be presented. Among others: lenses
embedded in parallel-plate waveguides,
lenses on conformable surfaces, lenses
whose geometrical profile is transformed
with geometrical optics to realize singular
refractive indexes.

Analytical approaches for the homogeniza-
tion of typical periodic textures commonly
used for lenses in PPW will be discussed. An
in-depth discussion of numerical modelling
of periodic arrays will be offered, through
full-wave methods (periodic integral equa-
tions) or simplified ones (Bloch analyses and
circuit-based models).
4. Bound and free: guiding a wave or ma-
king it radiate? (30 min., by Guido Valerio)
Flat lenses can support different waves
according to their physical and geometrical
properties (modulations, symmetries, etc).
After an introduction on the transverse-reso-
nance method, the relevance of these waves
will be discussed in different regions (near

Context
Internet access everywhere is a fundamental
need nowadays, and satellite systems play a spe-
cific role in all cases where terrestrial networks
cannot offer a reliable connectivity. Efficient while
low-cost terminals for users connected to satel-
lites are compulsory, and this is finally one of the
main condition for the viability of such systems.
In the user terminal, its antenna front-end is the
most critical sub-system, as in most cases it re-
quires that a directive beam tracks one (or 2) sa-
tellite(s) over a very wide field-of-view, because
either the user or the satellite is moving or even
both simultaneously.
Trading the best solutions, building innovative
efficient designs is a stringent challenge for an-
tenna engineers. We will review designs based
on electronic or mechanical steering, and hybrid
solutions combining the very wide angle capa-
bility of mechanisms with a very fast electronic
tracking.
Course content
The short course will consist of slides presenta-
tions (alternating the 2 teachers), including the

Short Courses
1/ Need for satellite systems enabling internet
access anywhere in the world:
where there is no efficient terrestrial network:
small isolated, rural areas in most developed
countries, and large ones in the 3rd world;
during long-travels in airplanes, high-speed
trains, trucks, camping-cars
2/ Overview of various satellite systems ena-
bling such ubiquitous internet access:
The material will be mostly covered with Power-
Point slides, but answers to questions and general
discussion will be a key part of the cours
3/ Technical challenges and solutions for User
antenna front-ends connecting to such systems;
they should combine high performances and low
cost as consumer products:
Simple but very cheap TX/RX front-ends for
fixed users linked with GEO satellites
Requiring to steer/scan their beam over a wide
field-of-view for mobile users (on vehicles,
aircrafts); with added difficulty for Ku-band in
Europe, needing linear polarisation alignment.
Over an even larger angular domain for users
connected to MEO or LEO satellites, with fast
switching (handover) from one satellite of the
constellation to another.
We will present the best state-of-the-art world-
wide, with emphasis on innovative (while efficient)
antenna solutions:
developments funded by ESA, and on-going in
US and Japan,
including modulated meta-surfaces, planar
antennas by KYMETA, variably-biased liquid
crystals,
addressing also technologies for amplifiers and
control devices, part of the antenna front-end.

place to an open discussion between partici-
pants.

Context
Wireless power transmission is the next dream
technology for an untethered truly mobile expe-
rience. Wireless power systems will remove the
corded connection between an object in need of
energy and the power grid. The technology will
benefit a wide range of devices including sen-
sors, portable electronics, electric/autonomous
11th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation Paris, France 19-24 March 2017
vehicles, biomedical devices etc. The objective
of this course is to provide a fundamental un-
derstanding of wireless power transmission in
the non-radiative/reactive near field. Wireless
power transfer systems will be described using
electromagnetic field and circuit analysis. Their
design parameters and limitations will be out-
lined, and possible future research directions
outlined. The current standards and regulations
on wireless power will also be covered together
with current research on human RF exposure
and safety.
Course content
The short course is organized into five sections
covering the following sub-topics.
1. The state of the art and standards: an over-
view of the current state-of-art in wireless
power transfer is presented. Special atten-
tion is given to systems based on reactive
(non-resonant or resonant) near-field
coupling. Current standards and regulations
are presented with an emphasis on the
frequency of operation, power capability,
distance range and operating mechanism.
2. Electromagnetic field and circuit analysis:
basic quasi-static concepts and techniques
are reviewed for the analysis of wireless
power transfer systems based on reactive
near-field coupling. A circuit description
is then derived and used to perform
microwave network analysis. The coupling
regimes of wireless power transfer systems
are outlined and their impact on the
operating distance and efficiency described.
Frequency tuning and tunable matching cir-
cuits are introduced as effective strategies
for improving the power transfer efficiency
and operating range of wireless power
transfer systems.
3. Experimental wireless non-radiative power
transfer systems: several prototypes in the
MHz range are used to validate the theore-
tical framework of the course. In particular,
wireless power transfer systems based on
137
 Technical Programme
Short Courses
shielded loop resonators are presented.
Frequency tuning techniques and tunable
matching circuits based on varactor diodes
are presented to achieve improved efficien-
cy and operating range.
4. Human exposure: the current research acti-
vities on human exposure to wireless power
systems are reviewed. A comprehensive
dosimetry analysis is presented for a wire-
less power transfer system in presence of
a detailed anatomical human body model.
Compliance of the system with guidelines
set by the international commission on
non-ionizing radiation protection (ICNIRP)
is evaluated, and maximum allowable input
power are discussed.
5. Future directions: the efficiency and
operating range of wireless power transfer
systems is limited by the rapid decay of the
magnetic coupling coefficient between the
transmitter and receiver with the distance.
Quasi-static arrays are shown to be an ef-
ficient way to tailor the magnetic near field
of the system for an increased operating
range or improved efficiency. Furthermore,
a novel wireless power scheme is pre-
sented using non-diffractive Bessel beams.

Context
Commercial EM Simulation tools such as HFSS, CST,
FEKO, EMPIRE are widely used by the members
of the EurAAP society. Over the past two decades
these tools have matured to be reliable and accu-
rate simulation tools. They are all striving to incor-
porate the latest developments in computational
electromagnetics, such as GPU computing, Domain
Decomposition (DD), and hybridization, to mention
a few. Increasingly, these new developments are
being researched and implemented directly by com-
mercial vendors instead of universities. Technical
team members of commercial vendors will present
in this workshop latest advancements in their tools.
The session will provide a forum to learn about new
developments in commercial tools as well as their
applications.
Antenna Design by Simulation with

Marc RTSCHLIN, Tilmann WITTIG
CST Germany
Simulation has come to play an integral role in the
entire design process for antennas. This talk will des-
cribe how recent innovations in CST STUDIO SUITE
- tighter integration of the Antenna Magus antenna
design tool, characteristic mode analysis, a dedi-
cated multi-element antenna simulation capability,
a hybridised circuit-electromagnetic simulation ap-
proach for matching and feeding, an efficient setup
and hybrid simulation solution for antennas installed
on different kinds of platforms, and multiphysics
analysis - have combined to provide engineers with
a full antenna design and diagnostic simulation envi-
ronment, not simply an analysis tool.

Highly integrated antenna frontend de-
sign for Radar, SATCOM and 5G using

Highly integrated RF frontends are key compo-
nents for K/Ka-band satellite communication,
multimedia entertainment systems, radar sys-
tems, 5G mobile communication as well as 60
GHz broadband home access equipment and
backbone networks. Designing such complex mo-
dules is a real challenge. An ideal solution for this
demanding task is EMPIRE: a full wave 3D EM-
field solver based on FDTD. Different RF frontend
designs composed of not only a large number of
antenna elements but also of complex multilayer
feeds, RF-transitions, and power combiners will
be presented. Also, it will be shown how to merge
RF- and thermal characteristics of active RF-com-
ponents in the 3D EM-simulation process.
Overview of Recent Advances in Elec-

Ulrich JAKOBUS
EMSS, South Africa
In this workshop contribution, we will introduce
some of the latest features of the electromagne-
tic field solver FEKO from Altair (see www.altai-
rhyperworks.com/feko) which were introduced
in FEKO 2017 (release of January 2017). These
include extensions to the Ray-Launching Geome-
trical Optics (RL-GO) solver for better accuracy
and shorter solution times, an improved MLFMM
parallelisation scheme showing more linear me-
mory scaling with increasing number of cores, the
extension of FDTD from shared memory paralleli-
sation and GPU acceleration to distributed cluster
computing, speed improvements for combined
field / cable harness modelling, the support of 3D
anisotropic material modelling (solid objects), and
improved mode tracking in connection with the
Characteristic Mode Analysis (CMA).

Ticra, Denmark
This talk discusses several new developments in
the GRASP and POS software packages for analy-
sis and design of electrically large antennas and
platforms. The topics include an efficient algorithm
for reflector antenna shaping and large-scale op-
timization of reflectarrays - the new algorithm is
an order of magnitude faster than the previous
software generation used throughout the satellite
industry. Further topics include direct optimization
of reflector and feed systems, by including the en-
tire feed chain and multiple reflectors in a single
hybrid model based on mode-matching, MoM/
MLFMM, and PO/PTD algorithms. Finally, improve-
ments of full-wave modelling of electrically large
platforms are addressed.
Combining EM and circuit simulations
in the design of tuneable and swit-
chable matching circuits
Jussi RAHOLA
Optenni Lab, Finland
Modern high-end mobile devices are increasingly
using tunable or switchable matching circuits to
meet the increasingly difficult requirements for
the operating frequencies. In the presentation
we will describe how this challenging design
task can be solved through the joint optimization
of the radiating antenna structure using the CST
STUDIO SUITE 3D EM simulator and optimization
of the tunable matching circuit in the Optenni Lab
matching circuit optimization software. Optenni
Lab provides automatic matching circuit synthesis
and optimization capabilities which can be called
from an optimization run or a parameter sweep in
CST STUDIO SUITE.

Designing antennas for a location
tracking system
Brian WOODS
Antenna Magus, South Africa
Engineers are often faced with the task of studying
an existing system with a view to improving or
modifying that system for a new purpose. When it
comes to complex communication systems, such
as a real-time RFID location-tracking system de-
ployed for real-time tracking of players on a sports
field, the first step to improvement or modification
is being able to model the existing system accu-
rately and reliably. In this talk we will explore how
software tools such as Antenna Magus and CST
Studio Suite can help develop realistic models for
such systems and help engineers in identifying
and assessing problems and potential solutions
quickly.
Antenna Placement and Antenna Cou-
pling on Electrically Large Platforms
Branco MRDAKOVIC
WIPL-D, Serbia
WIPL-D Pro is Method of Moments based simulator
offering state of the art performances in full wave
EM simulation. The code efficiency arises from
usage of: higher order basis functions, quadrila-
teral mesh, in-house developed optimum meshing
algorithm, efficient CPU/GPU parallelization on
inexpensive platforms, numerous techniques to
reduce simulation but preserve accuracy. Fur-
thermore, Domain Decomposition Method enables
solving of an order of magnitude larger problems
with the same hardware and time resources. Sol-
ving of antenna placement and antenna coupling
problems on large platforms are very demanding
tasks, and for this reason they are often solved
by using high frequency techniques rather than
full wave methods. The aim of this presentation
is to show WIPL-D capabilities in full-wave ana-
lysis of antenna placement and antenna coupling
problems on aircraft platforms at frequencies up
to 15 GHz.

Context
Nowadays the technology of Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) is rapidly developing thanks to great advances in
powerful superconductive magnets and efficient transceivers.
However, these two development trends face serious limi-
tations, especially in clinical applications, due to increasing
power deposition, higher biological influence of static fields,
higher risks as well as dramatic raise of costs. In this situa-
tion a very attractive, but still not very elaborated solution is
development of novel radiofrequency (RF) coils, which are
usually UHF near-field antennas working under conditions of a
shielded bore of MRI scanners in the vicinity of a subject (e.g.
a human body). Novel RF coils providing better control over
near fields, as compared to conventional loop coils, would
noticeably increase SNR, resolution and quality of images. On
this step a fruitful collaboration between antenna engineers
and specialists on MRI is required. Namely, recent advances
and application experience on antennas could be involved in
RF coils to further improve MRI technology.

resonance imaging (MRI), one of the most important
clinical modalities for detection of various diseases in
humans. MR image quality and spatial resolution are
ultimately limited by the signal-to-noise ratio obtainable
in a relevant clinical scanning timeframe. Recently a
new conceptual idea has been suggested to substan-
tially increase signal-to-noise ratio of commercial MRI
with the aid of metasurfaces made by resonant metallic
inclusions. However, the previous designs required a
significant minimum thickness and fine tuning of the
spectral response was also very impractical. Therefore,
in this contribution we suggest and demonstrate experi-
mentally a novel type of metasurface capable of drama-
tic enhancing the MR image quality. We employ a hybrid
metasurface and, by changing the effective permittivity
of the structure, we observe a substantial spectral shift
of the metasurface eigenmodes and dynamically adjust
their properties in experiment. Finally, we present in vivo
results from a metasurface based device employed to
enhance sensitivity of human knee imaging at 1.5 T.

Context
New challenges are facing designers of wireless
transceivers and antennas as cellular communica-
tions move from existing frequencies predominantly
below 3 GHz up to the lower end of the millimeter
wave bands around 28 GHz and higher. Devices
consisting of integrated transceivers and antennas
require the adoption of new measurement methodo-
logies in order to measure performance in a connec-
torless environment. Additionally, antenna arrays
used for beam forming and beam steering require
additional characterization, as early as possible in the
design cycle. In order to cost-effectively test devices
including large ones such as base stations, tradeoffs
must be made between space, cost, and achieving
the desired test environment. We will explore these
new challenges as well as new design and measure-
ment considerations and methodologies used in a
millimeter wave, over-the-air environment.
Workshop Structure
This will include keynote speakers who will discuss
the following topics
Over-the-air channel models used to measure
in a connectorless environment and new consi-
derations which must be made when measuring
over-the-air instead of with cabled connections
Sectored MPAC (multi-probe anechoic chamber)
based OTA test system for mm-wave base
stations
5G device test using a compact chamber
System-level beamforming architecture design

Eddy JEHAMY
ALTAIR Engineering France
After PHD studies and seven years of antenna de-
sign and integration for automotive radars, Eddy
JEHAMY joined Aeronautical company to work
on antenna placement and integration on several
helicopter classes. Civil and military aircrafts, re-
quire more than 20 antennas linked to the several
communication and navigation systems. He worked
on complete scenarios to meet the latest aeronau-
tical standards and to avoid severe interferences
between the different systems. He also patents a
new idea to adapt the radar altimeter to complex
integration scenario on helicopters (Publication nu-
mber: 20160097848). Then he worked on weather
and tactical radar integration behind radome struc-
tures, before he joined ALTAIR company as FEKO
application engineer. His current research interests
are in developing fast and useful process for an-
tenna placement and integration for several appli-
cations.
150 11th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation Paris, France 19-24 March 2017
Context
The topic of antenna placement is getting more and
more attention to meet the challenging application
requirements (radar, satcom, navigation, ) on very
complex platforms dedicated for several domains
(automotive, naval, aeronautics, satellites, ). Be-
fore performing an antenna placement analysis, and
since complex platforms are considered, geometry
healing and an advanced meshing process are re-
quired. Powerful and fast tools are essential to ease
the tough meshing procedures, with manual and au-
tomatic methods. Several antennas with several fre-
quency bands can be installed on the same platform.
Thus several meshing densities and techniques,
must be considered and linked to fast and rigorous
numerical methods, to solve electrically large anten-
na placement problem. Hybridization between me-
thods in the same EM analysis can be a good trade-
off between complex and large structures to end up
with light and fast computational simulations.
Workshop structure
This workshop is dedicated to the new techniques
used to accelerate antenna placement scenarios on
complex and electrically large structures (vehicles,
ships, airplanes, satellites, etc.). The first workshop
part exposes a powerful and useful tool: HyperMesh.
Several methods to heal and fix faulty and complex
3D CAD parts structures are exposed. Manual and
automatic processes are required to clean and mesh
the CAD structures. Demonstration and examples of
several features will be shown. The second workshop
part is dedicated to the link between meshing blocks
and EM simulation setup under FEKO. One has to
deal with the different geometry parts and different
materials classes and types. Several antenna types
can also be considered for wide panel of applica-
tions on the same platform. Thus fast and auto-
matic remeshing techniques are required to avoid
repeated and tough processes for each frequency
band application. In the last workshop part fast and
rigorous numerical methods used in FEKO to solve
several antenna placements scenarios will be pre-
sented. Direct and indirect hybridization methods
are investigated for several applications (radars,
GPS, satcom, etc.) to meet challenging placement
and integration requirements.

11th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation Paris, France 19-24 March 2017
Context
Antennas are virtually everywhere. From commercial
applications such as smartphones, RFID tags, and
wireless printers, to defense applications such as
phased array antennas for aircraft radar systems or
satellite-based, to provide integrated ground based
communication systems. ANSYS HFSS excels at a
wide variety of high frequency, full-wave, electro-
magnetic applications including antenna design and
placement since it uses multiple advanced solver
techniques to simulate not just the antenna but also
the effects of its interaction with the entire system,
including the feeding system as well as the platform.
Workshop structure
This workshop focuses on antenna design and
platform integration. Attendees will learn how to
streamline their antenna design and integration flow
by generating and utilizing ANSYS HFSS 3D Compo-
nent models for use in electrically large simulations.
By combining finite elements and shooting and
bouncing ray techniques, realistic antenna installa-
tions are efficiency and quickly analyzed all within
ANSYS Electronics Desktop. Whether you are new
to simulation or an expert ANSYS HFSS user, this
workshop will be valuable to learn about the latest
technologies and best practices.
