Topic: <\/strong>Artificial Intelligence\u2013Driven Design of Irregularly Tiled Phased Array Antennas
Focus: <\/strong>This PhD addresses the design of next-generation large phased array antennas.
The research will leverage Artificial Intelligence\u2013based modeling and optimization techniques to explore irregular and modular tiled array layouts, aiming to:
– Reduce system complexity and energy consumption
– Enable scalable, high-performance phased array architectures
– Meet stringent constraints
Objectives:<\/strong>
– Develop novel modular phased array concepts
– Create AI-driven electromagnetic performance prediction models
– Design optimization frameworks for large-scale, irregular array layouts
– Validate results via full-wave simulations, prototyping, and experimental measurements
Work Environment: <\/strong>The PhD will be carried out at IETR (Rennes, France), with strong involvement of two world-class technological platforms:
– nR (NanoRennes) \u2013 microfabrication facilities
– M\u00b2ARS \u2013 advanced antenna prototyping and measurement platform
Profile:<\/strong>
– MSc (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering or Physics
– Strong background in antenna theory, microwave engineering, and antenna arrays
– Good proficiency in spoken and written English (French not required)
– Motivation to work at the intersection of Electromagnetics and Artificial Intelligence
Duration:<\/strong> 36 months
Location: <\/strong>Rennes, France<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
