Metasurface-based reconfigurable antenna array for target recognition and tracking

Hosted by Acceligence Ltd. and enrolled in the Doctoral Program at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki

Contract Duration: 36 months

PhD Title: Metasurface-based reconfigurable antenna array for target recognition and tracking

Description

The research aims for an advanced intelligent sensing system, integrating reconfigurable antennas with space-time metasurface technology. Objectives include optimizing antennas for enhanced beamforming, frequency agility, and target recognition in dynamic environments. ML/DL algorithms will identify multiple targets in real-time, adapting to changing dynamics. Experimental validation will assess system performance, with findings shared through scholarly outlets for insights in intelligent sensing and target recognition.
