This course provides an in-depth exploration of antenna technologies and system design principles essential for next-generation wireless communication, covering 5G, emerging 6G technologies, and beyond. Key topics include fundamental antenna theory, array design, beamforming, MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) techniques, millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) antennas, and reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS).

The course emphasizes both theoretical foundations and practical applications, including simulation techniques, prototyping methods, and industry trends. By the end of the course, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of antenna system requirements for future wireless networks and develop skills in analyzing, designing, and optimizing antenna systems for advanced communication technologies. The teaching team includes well-recognized researchers in academia, and experts in industry covering the area of 5G/6G antenna systems research and developments, in Europe and worldwide.

We offer the following 3 travel grants for students to participate in the course. The grant offers the grant recipient flight ticket and 7 days accommodation. The grants are available only for Master students and PhD students worldwide who have paid the course registration fee. The deadline for application for the grants is 30 April 2025. The application includes a short motivation letter (maximum one page) and CV (maximum two pages), and you apply for the grants by sending an email with documents to jian.yang@chalmers.se.

·        Gapwaves travel grant: One criterion for being awarded this grant is your research project topic is mostly relevant to gap waveguide technology.

·        Ansys travel grant: One criterion for being awarded this grant is that HFSS or other Ansys software has been used in your research project topic with a successful result.

·        3DS travel grant: One criterion for being awarded this grant is that CST or other 3DS software has been used in your research project topic with a successful result.

Note: You are allowed to apply for all grants. Chalmers students are not eligible for the grants.

Terms and Conditions for ESoA Registrants

SCHOOL OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ENGINEERING

The European School of Antennas and Propagation (It includes, besides Antennas and Propagation, courses of Computational EM, Metamaterials, Bio-EM, Wireless, Nanostructured materials, and TeraHertz. ESoA) is a self-consistent model of post graduate school distributed in the several research center in Europe. ESoA is becoming not only important in the specific field of Antennas and Propagation, but it is gradually evolving to become the most important and biggest school in the world of Electromagnetic Engineering.
ESoA creates a large spread of knowledge among students, early stage scientists and researchers all over Europe.

ESoA BOOK 2021 COURSES

NETWORK OF EXCELLENCE

From 2008 ESoA was founded in 2004 by a group of institutions in the framework of the FP6 Network of Excellence "ACE" (Antenna Centre of Excellence) and it was afterwards financed in FP7 by a Marie Curie Action (MCA) project till 2007. ESoA is part of EurAAP. The ESoA courses are distributed in the most accredited European research centers on antennas and propagation in Europe.

Reinforcing

Reinforcing the European excellence in EM engineering
with emphasis on antennas

Increasing

Increasing the ties in research and development between
Universities and Industries on an European scale

Creating

Creating an effective advanced formative offer at international level to
complete individual PhD curricula

Facilitating

Facilitating the interchange of ideas among early-stage researchers and trainers as well as among young researchers thus increasing the future mobility and synergy

HIGH LEVEL ADVANCED EDUCATION

The most attractive feature of ESoA is the fact that it is geographically distributed, giving the students a unique opportunity to attend courses in the most relevant Scientific Centers of Excellence, and to attend lectures from the best local and visiting instructors. Simultaneously, the instructors learn from their colleagues different way to teach. with a peak of 290 students in 2012. The courses are continuously updated and each edition is never equal to the previous one. ESoA constitute a worldwide unique system of excellence in high-level advanced education. A similar system of excellence is neither known in Europe, nor worldwide.
ESoA includes the best 100 teachers in Europe, among which they are seventeen IEEE Fellows, and many other lecturers. ESoA is attended by an average of 220 students per year,

The institutions listed below have signed a Memorandum of Understanding which establishes the objectives and the scope of ESoA.

ESoA BOARD

The ESoA board is composed by 39 members; 34 for each affiliated institution, who are also coordinators of courses, plus other 5 members: one member from European Space Agency (ESA), one from European Microwave Association (EuMA) one from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), one from IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S) and one from the EurAAP working group of Propagation.
The ESoA Board meets two or three times per year and gets continuously stimulus to updating the courses and introducing new ones. The coordinators of the courses improve the content of each edition for maintain each course at the state-of-the-art level. Several new junior professors are included in the structure when they reach the right maturity, and in doing so, the ESoA board members perform a talent scouting action in conferences. ESoA also constitutes a strong tool for improving the dialogue between the universities and the industries, giving thereby employment opportunities to students
