ISAW-2021: Talk by Dr Sudhakar Rao on 'Antenna Design: Simple is Elegant'

Описание: Antennas are “Eyes and Ears” of modern-day communication systems. They form an important part of any communications payloads influencing the coverage, providing required gain to close the communication link, support required bandwidth, capacity/data rates and polarization. Antenna engineering is a highly specialized skill in the industry and the role of antenna engineer is to develop appropriate products and qualify them for the intended application

Dr. Sudhakar Rao is currently working as the Senior Technical Fellow at Northrop Grumman Space
Systems providing technical leadership for all divisions of Northrop Grumman in the areas of antennas and payload development for various key programs, proposals and IRAD. Dr. Rao received B. Tech from REC Warangal, M. Tech from IIT Kharagpur and Ph. D in from IIT Madras. Over the past 39 years, he worked at Spar Aerospace Limited, Canada, Boeing Satellite Systems, Lockheed Martin and now at Northrop Grumman and contributed to antenna & payloads for more than 85 different satellites. His work on development of radiation templates for complex satellite antenna patterns for interference analysis was adopted and recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU)/CCIR in 1992 as the worldwide standard for satellite manufacturers and operators.
