REVOLVE has teamed up with the Research and Technology Centre of the European Space Agency (ESA-ESTEC) for the delivery of the Course on Antennas for Space Applications, organised by the European School of Antennas (ESoA). The course will take place at ESTEC (Noordwijk, The Netherlands) from 12 to 16 March 2018. The general objectives of the European School of Antennas are:
- strengthening the European excellence on antennas
- completing the individual PhD curricula of students in Electrical and Information Engineering by offering interaction with the best trainers in Europe
- increasing the link between European Universities and Industries in antenna research and development
- facilitating the interchange of ideas among early stage researchers and teachers, thus increasing the future mobility and synergy
The school is coordinated so that the courses have the same format and apply common basic rules for exams and credits.
The specific objectives of the Course on Antennas for Space Applications:
- provide an overview of design approaches, constraints and technical solutions for Space Antennas addressing both theoretical and technological issues
- focus on main space applications such as telecommunication, earth observation and science, navigation, data transmission antennas
- address radiofrequency, mechanical and thermal design, material technology and test aspects
- provide an insight of satellite and space antenna testing with a visit to ESTEC satellite and antenna test facilities.
