**About the SnT** SnT** is a leading **international research and innovation centre** in secure, reliable and trustworthy ICT systems and services. We play an instrumental role in Luxembourg by fueling innovation through research partnerships with industry, boosting R&D investments leading to economic growth, and attracting highly qualified talent. We’re looking for people driven by excellence, excited about innovation, and looking to make a difference. If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place

The research group focuses on wireless/satellite communications and networking and is headed by Prof. Symeon Chatzinotas. The research areas focus on the formulation, modelling, design, and analysis of future 5G and beyond communication networks that are capable of supporting new services in a cost-efficient manner. Use cases of interest include IoT verticals, unmanned aerial vehicles, integrated satellite-space-terrestrial networks, quantum communications and key distribution, spectrum management and coexistence, tactile Internet, and autonomous transportation.

As far as technical enablers are concerned, we leverage expertise on massive MIMO cell-free communications, smart-radio environments through the use of intelligent surfaces, machine-type and ultra-reliable and low-latency communications, edge computing and caching, RAN slicing, and network softwarization and visualization.

Finally, due to the large-scale nature, complexity, and heterogeneity of 5G and beyond networks, for their analysis and optimization we use tools such as artificial intelligence/machine learning, graph theory and graph-signal processing, and convex/non-convex optimization. Furthermore, our activities are experimentally driven and supported by the **SDR **CommLab**, the **S**DN Lab**, the **5G-Space Lab**, our **SW Simulators**, and our **OTA Facilties**.

**Your Role**
This is an a Luxembourg National Research Found project that intends to build the future of the SnT and Luxembourg's antennas and propagation industry by researching, designing, simulating, prototyping, and measuring metamaterial antennas and RF components applied to the satellite antenna segment using AM&M techniques.

For this, project will be composed of two key pillars: The first comprises **researching different metamaterial antennas** and RF components like gap-waveguide, metasurfaces, metalenses, and metamaterial phase arrays, to reduce the complexity in the satellite antenna segment in the K-band compared to conventional designs. The complexity reduction comprises compacting the number of antenna and RF sections and connectors. The second involves researching the most suitable AM&M techniques to prototype metamaterial antennas and RF components, to highly reduce the weight of the antenna satellite segment, maintaining the same performance as conventional scenarios.

The AM techniques may include Stereolithography (SLA), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Melting (SLM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), and for the metallization, Physical Vapor Deposition (PDV), Chemical Vapor Deposition CDV, Water Transfer Printing (WTP), Spray Painting (SP), electroplating, and electroless plating.

The challenges for the prototype requirements comprise integrating all the metamaterial antenna sections, ideally in a single element, which can be successfully manufactured using additive manufacturing with the required resolution to generate cavities, pins, holes, and grooves.
