Brunel University London 2022 International PhD Studentships in MEMS Based Antennas for 5G and 6G Communications, UK

Mm-wave, multiple-input and multiple output antenna array, and large-scale phased antenna array with steering beams play significant roles from 5th generation communications. Integrated sensing and communication sharing the use of a single hardware platform is a paradigm for 6G, which is in the early-stage research. This project aims to study the reconfigurable antennas, the antenna system and its miniaturization technologies as well as low-cost solutions for 5G, 5G beyond and 6G communications.
