NoOffer Description TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF CARTAGENA has approved the regulatory rules and the call for tenders for the employment of graduate research personnel in the research line of combining lens antennas with leaky wave antennas (LWA) and antenna arrays for the improvement of different radiation properties (C-092 /24).Deadline for submission of applications: 21 November to 29 November 2024.CATEGORY: Researcher Graduate.REQUIRED QUALIFICATION: Degree in Telecommunication Systems Engineering.DEDICATION: Full-time (37.5 hours/week). Monday to Friday 9:00 to 14:00, 15:00 to 17:30GROSS ANNUAL REMUNERATION: The employee will receive a gross annual salary of 33,550.16 euros.PROJECT TITLE: 'State Programme to Develop, Attract and Retain Talent, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023. Ramón y Cajal 2022 grants. Astrid Algaba'.DURATION: The duration of this contract will be linked to the budgetary availability of the research line: Combination of lens-type antennas with leaky wave antennas (LWA) and antenna arrays, for improvement of different radiation properties.TASKS TO BE CARRIED OUT: Modelling of metallic periodic lens and leaky-wave antennas (LWA) using numerical ray-tracing and modal leaky-wave analysis methods respectively, as well as commercial electromagnetic software (CST and HFSS).Modelling of metasurfaces based on high symmetries (glide symmetry), using equivalent circuit models and commercial electromagnetic software (CST and HFSS).Integration of metasurfaces in lens antennas (metadomes) and numerical analysis with commercial electromagnetic software (CST and HFSS) to evaluate different use cases (increasing the scanning range and increasing the gain).Development of a ray tracing tool for efficient metadome modelling and computational comparison with numerical results obtained with commercial electromagnetic software (CST and HFSS).Design of efficient radiating systems based on LWAs combined with lenses or metadomes using the software tools programmed in the previous tasks. In this way, the performance of the programmed software will be validated by means of real prototypes.PLACE OF WORK: GEAT Laboratories - ETSIT
