In his research, Noah developed a modular phased array for duplex operation in the K- and Ka-bands. Due to their flexible beam-steering capability, phased arrays are a preferred choice for satellite communications (SatCom). He combined the transmitting (TX) and receiving (RX) elements into a single planar aperture, resulting in a compact, extendable, and highly integrated design. With optimized reflection and performance metrics, this design provides a future-proof foundation for compact and efficient antenna systems in aviation communications.
The thesis was carried out as part of the “Broadband in Aviation – Next Generation (BANG)” project. The aim of the project was to promote connected aviation through a compact antenna that can be integrated into the outer shell of the aircraft. In addition, the use of electrical beamforming leads to reduced maintenance costs while increasing steering speed and flexibility.
The entire institute congratulates him on this outstanding achievement.
