• Doctoral course on ARRAYS AND REFLECTARRAYS

• UCLouvain, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium

• August 31 – September 4, 2026

• Coordinator: Christophe Craeye

• 3 ECTS credits

# data[].attributes.body
This course is aimed at postgraduate research students and industrial engineers who want to acquire insight into the physical behavior of antenna arrays and reflectarrays, as well as learn methodologies for array optimization.

# data[].attributes.body
The course will provide a global understanding of the electromagnetic behavior of antenna arrays and reflectarrays,

with a special emphasis on wideband arrays, on the effects of mutual coupling, on optimization methods and on applications.

Software exercises will also be organized.
