About this position
This post-doctoral position at the CNRS is part of the collaborative OPALE project, focused on reconfigurable attenuators, absorbers, low-profile antennas and highly directive antennas. The work aims to help push beyond the current state of the art by developing innovative architectures for multi-channel antenna systems with fewer controls and lower energy consumption.
The recruited researcher will study how to reduce the number of active feeding controls in directive antenna arrays while preserving electromagnetic performance. The project involves modelling and optimizing which radiating elements should be driven, as well as the corresponding weights applied to them, across several antenna architectures developed within OPALE.
The research starts from conventional array models to establish reference cases, then extends to two antenna architectures developed by the project consortium. The study is intended to support design choices across the different teams involved in the project and to compare possible strategies for directing energy more efficiently through the antenna structure.
The technical approach may build on state-of-the-art optimization methods and can include neural-network-based strategies and physics-informed neural networks. The work is centered on electromagnetic performance evaluation, with attention to directivity, active matching, inter-channel isolation, and the impact of feeding decisions on active chains in the system.
The position is embedded in a broader collaborative research effort bringing together CNRS and several French academic laboratories and research organizations, including CEA LETI, ICMCB, IETR, Telecom Paris and XLIM.
