Pathway towards Opportunities for Large scale Applications of Radically integrated systems (POLARIS)

POLARIS (Pathway towards Opportunities for Large scale Applications of Radically Integrated Systems) realizes new technological breakthroughs that allow the Netherlands to expand its technological and economic leadership in the production of complex microelectronic 'Radio Frequency' (RF) systems for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), radar and telecommunications. POLARIS technology has many potential societal applications such as radar for national security and MRI for better diagnoses and better telecommunications.

The PhD project in the TS group addresses challenges due to antennas, specifically related to simulation and design tools. The goal is to develop computationally efficient simulation methods that will advance electromagnetic modelling of arrays beyond the current state-of-the-art, which
heavily relies on commercial software. Improved modeling will enable synthesis of optimal antenna array elements and the design of antenna arrays with enhanced performance.
