The alumnus of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) Mariano Javier Pamies Porras has demonstrated his doctoral thesis the feasibility of developing radar electronic targeting active low cost to replace the sweeping technology mechanic since mid last century used boats civilians.
An antenna beam emission to 360 degrees replace the current rotating devices, reducing the environmental impact with less output power and lower noise and maintenance costs.
"With technologies conventional manufacturing and economies of scale can be reduced by 80% the cost of electronic radars respect to those used in the military field and enough features for civil navigation," notes the researcher, 31 and Natural Pilar de la Horadada (Alicante).
The new doctor in Telecommunications defended his thesis this August at the University of Siegen, Germany, where he has developed his research in the Fraunhofer FHR, the pointer of Europe's radars Institute and which Pamies came thanks to their Final Project Career in the UPCT on tracking radars.
"When I did not know any German and yet welcomed me with open arms and many facilities" recalls Pamies.
"It helped that my knowledge base were well above those of my German colleagues for the extensive theoretical training taught in the UPCT and the proximity and involvement of teachers, always ready to delve into the matter," stresses.
"In the Fraunhofer greatly appreciate the preparation of our students," agrees Professor Alejandro Alvarez Melcón, who led the final draft Pamies in the UPCT and was part of the court called with the highest score his thesis, that directed Peter Haring- Bolivar and Joachim Ender.
"Several students of the Polytechnic have collaborated with the center in the development of antennas and radar systems," he says.
Mariano Pamies working since 2014 in capture and signal analysis for German telecommunications company Elettronica GmbH, dedicated to electronic warfare.
