**EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY**

Internal Research Fellow (Post Doc) in Innovative Multibeam Active Antennas and Beamforming Networks

**Job Requisition ID**:18705**Closing Date**:12 June 2024 23:59 CET/CEST**Publication**:External Only**Type of Contract**:Internal Research Fellow**Date Posted**:22 May 2024- Internal Research Fellowship Opportunity in the Directorate of Technology, Engineering and Quality.-
- This post is classified F2 on the Coordinated Organisations’ salary scale.**Location**
ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands**Our team and mission**

Within the TEC-EF Division, the domains covered by the Antenna and (Sub)-Millimeter Wave Section (TEC-EFA) include standalone radiators, reflector antennas and array (active or passive) antennas. The Section addresses system aspects as well as interference effects between antennas and the spacecraft structure, covering the 400 MHz to 5 THz range of the frequency spectrum. The Section also provides technical support for ESA projects in Earth observation, telecommunications, navigation and science, including “in-house” design and trade-offs for technology developments. Furthermore, the Section supports all antenna development stages from the early RF design and analysis up to test and verification. When appropriate, the measurements are performed in the ESTEC antenna test facilities that are managed by the section.

**Field(s) of activity for the Research Fellowship**
The main objective of this Research Fellowship consists in investigating innovative multibeam active antennas and beamforming networks for emerging telecommunications missions, covering some of the following topics in particular:

- array antennas exploiting different types of array layouts (Cartesian, triangular, irregular, etc.);
- architectures compatible with hybrid analogue/digital beamforming;
- architectures based on overlapped or interleaved subarrays;
- architectures compatible with distributed apertures and satellite swarms;
- architectures suitable for implementing pragmatic MIMO solutions for 5G, 6G etc.
Some of the active antenna configurations are of interest for GEO satellite missions, while others are of interest for MEO and LEO satellite missions.

**On array antennas exploiting different types of array layouts**

**On hybrid beamforming solutions**

**On pragmatic MIMO solutions**
As part of this Research Fellowship, several pragmatic MIMO solutions could be further developed, adapted to 5G and 6G scenarios and co-designed with sparse and hybrid array architectures.

**Technical competencies**
Knowledge relevant to the field of research
Research/publication record
Ability to conduct research autonomously
Breadth of exposure coming from past and/or current research/activities
Ability to gather and share relevant information

**Behavioural competencies**
Result Orientation
Operational Efficiency
Fostering Cooperation
Relationship Management
Continuous Improvement
Forward Thinking

**Education**-In particular for this position, the following is required: PhD in the antennas or electromagnetic domain.

**Additional requirements**
You should also have:

- comprehensive background in electromagnetic wave theory is required for this post.
- general interest in space and space research.
- general interest in space and space research
The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset.
