The project aims to develop the first GaN-based millimeter-wave active phased array antennas for satellite communications and space communications, in collaboration with Astrium Satellites (France), Evoleo Technologies (Portugal), Ferdinand-Braun-Institute (Germany), Institute de Telecomunications (Portugal), MIER (Spain) and Efacec (Portugal). The research proposal was evaluated by EC reviewers and received the highest score possible for the proposal, a full 15 out of 15.  Steven commented: &#8216;This is a great news. It demonstrates the strength of EDA in space antennas, phased arrays and satellite communications.&#8217;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to Professor Steven Gao from the School of Engineering and Digital Arts who has just been awarded a research grant totalling 371,533 Euros funded &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/2013\/11\/08\/congratulations-to-steven-on-european-union-fp7-space-call-research-award\/\">Read&nbsp;more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55249,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[124],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/55249"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/329\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.kent.ac.uk\/engineering-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
