---------------------------------------------------------
University is inviting applications for a fully-
funded PhD studentship within the Broadband
Wireless Communication Research Group in the
School of Engineering and Digital Arts, University
of Kent, Canterbury, UK. This is a 3-year project,
funded by the European Commission (EC), and
the researcher is to work under the supervision of
Professor Steven Gao. The PhD student is to start
on October 1, 2013. International students are
eligible for this PhD studentship. Applicants must
have a Masters degree in engineering or physics
with experience in antenna designs, or
electromagnetics or microwave engineering.
Online application must be submitted by 20
August 2013.
Study Subject(s): The studentship is awarded
in advanced antennas for digital beam forming
synthetic aperture radars on board small
satellites.
Course Level: This studentship is for pursuing
PhD level at the University of Kent in UK.
Scholarship Provider: This is a 3-year project,
funded by the European Commission (EC), and
the researcher is to work under the supervision of
Professor Steven Gao.
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility:-Applications are invited for a fully-
funded PhD studentship within the Broadband
Wireless Communication Research Group in the
School of Engineering and Digital Arts, University
of Kent, Canterbury, UK.
-The ideal candidate has a Master degree in
engineering or physics with experience in
antenna designs, or electromagnetic or
microwave engineering.
-Working or research experience in antennas or
RF engineering will be a plus.
-A post-doctoral researcher will also be employed
in this project, and work together with the PhD
student.
-Applications for this project are welcome from
suitably qualified candidates worldwide.
Scholarship Open for Students of Following
Countries : International applicants are eligible
for this PhD studentship.
Scholarship Description: The University of Kent
is well-known internationally, for research work in
frequency-selective surfaces (FSS), antennas, RF/
microwave/millimeter-wave technologies and
wireless communications. The research is
conducted as part of the EC project “DIFFERENT”
in collaboration with leading academic and
industrial partners across the Europe. The aim of
this project is to investigate the design, modelling
and development of novel multi-band multi-
polarization array antennas for digital
beamforming synthetic aperture radars (DBF
SAR) on-board small satellites in low earth orbits.
DBF SAR is the next-generation radar system for
earth observation from the space.
The University of Kent has excellent antenna and
RF/microwave/millimeter-wave measurement
facilities including various anechoic, near-field and
plane-wave chambers, the largest of which
operates between 400MHz and 110GHz with a
totally new measurement system including a
dedicated vector network analyzer. The antennas
laboratories also contain broadband network
analyzers operating from 10MHz to 110GHz. It
has a well-equipped mechanical workshop with
newly installed computer controlled machinery,
which is for the fabrication of antennas and RF/
microwave circuits. This is a 3-year project,
funded by the European Commission (EC), and
the researcher is to work under the supervision of
Professor Steven Gao. The PhD student is to start
on October 1, 2013. In this project, the main
roles of the PhD student will include: 1) the
design, modelling, simulation and analysis of
novel multi-band multi-polarization array
antennas for DBF SAR on board small satellites in
low earth orbits; 2). Antenna fabrication and
testing; 3) digital beamforming algorithms for
digital beamforming arrays; 4). The student will
give presentations to European partners and
write technical reports and publications in
international journals and conferences.
Number of award(s): Not Known
Duration of award(s): This is a 3-year
studentship.
What does it cover? The successful candidate
will receive a bursary of £13,590 per annum for 3
years.
