Over three days, more than 150 experts will discuss topics related to new antennas for state-of-the-art 5G mobile devices or new materials for space equipment, among others

More than 150 experts from the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) from all over the country will participate in the XXXII National Symposium of the International Scientific Radio Union (URSI) at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT). Next month of September.

For three days, specialists will study topics related to radiocommunications, metamaterials, image processing for medical applications, instrumentation for terrestrial and space astronomy, satellite communications, etc.

This symposium is the most important national event in the field of telecommunication engineering.

In this edition three plenary lectures have also been organized and will be given by Marco Guglielmi of the European Space Agency;

Saul Torrico, a professor at George Washington University and J. Sebastián Gómez-Díaz, a former UPCT student who is currently the head of the nanoelectromagnetics research group at the University of California.

Guglielmi will focus on TRL space technology.

For its part, Torrico will address the propagation of radio waves through vegetated environments for wireless communications, analyzing how the propagation of the wave affects the dispersion and absorption by the components of the tree (trunk, branches, and leaves).

UPCT engineer Sebastián Gómez will deal with graphene and other 2D materials and their application in low-cost, infrared portable biosensors and the short-term and long-term impact of ultra-thin metasurfaces in society.

Other advances and challenges of the sector that will be presented to scientists and technologists are related to the increase of the precision in the localization of mobile devices in interiors, the design of circuits and devices for satellite communications or the processing of retinographic or histological images of prostate , As well as a series of design criteria of antennas specially adapted to the human body.

The event was organized by professors of the UPCT's Technical School of Engineering of Telecommunications (ETSIT) and several students collaborate.

The Organizing Committee is chaired by Professor Leandro Juan Llacer and the Scientific Committee by Professors José María Molina García-Pardo and Alejandro Álvarez Melcón.

In addition, this edition is sponsored by companies Rohde & Schwarz, Keysight Technologies and CST, and the support of the Seneca Foundation of the Region of Murcia and the City of Cartagena.
