Post-doctoral position
"Analysis, Design and Optimization of Lens Antennas at Millimeter Waves"
Context and objectives
The Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications of Rennes (IETR),
Rennes, France has a strong background in the design of lens antennas
at millimeter waves, and especially regarding the modelling and
optimization of single- and dual-material arbitrarily-shaped integrated
lens antennas for various ICT applications ranging from Ka-band to
W-band. The aim of this post-doctoral research project is twofold:
1. To contribute to the implementation of powerful
Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) tools for the synthesis and optimization of
shaped lens antennas (arbitrarily-shaped devices and/or shaped bodies
of revolution). Various numerical methods of analysis will be
considered: highfrequency techniques, modal decomposition methods,
full-wave approaches (mainly in the time domain). The optimization
algorithms will be based on global optimization techniques, like
genetic algorithms or particle swarm concepts.
2. To design innovative lens antennas at millimetre and sub-millimetre
waves for high-speed wireless communication systems, high-resolution
radars and advanced measurement techniques.
The applicant must have a strong background in (at least) one the following areas: design of antennas
at millimeter waves, focusing systems, reflector antennas, lens antennas, quasi-optics, numerical
modelling, electromagnetic theory, optimization. A strong knowledge of commercial electromagnetic
softwares will be strongly appreciated.
More information is available in attachments area.
