Antennas, electromagnetism, mobile communications and in short, the latest advances in the field of telecommunications will be a matter of debate and reflection at the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena until Friday.

The educational institution has managed to gather 150 researchers from the Telecommunications Schools of all parts of Spain at the XXXIII National Symposium of the International Radio Union that this year takes place at the Polytechnic of Cartagena.

The president of the organizing committee and professor of the UPCT, Leandro Juan, said during the inauguration that he wants to continue to promote this type of activities so that there are opportunities to debate and exchange ideas.

The inauguration was also attended by the general director of Universities, Juan Monzó, Vice-rector of Research of the UPCT, Beatriz Miguel, the director of the Technical School of Telecommunications Engineering UPCT Juan Ángel Pastor and the Councilor for Public Safety , Francisco Aznar.

The director of the School of Teleco of the UPCT has highlighted the importance that these centers have today to 'get people out of school' and with their research help to improve society.

For his part, the Director General of Universities congratulated the UPCT for the network of chairs of companies that allow a 'dual training' of students.

During his speech he highlighted the lack of vocations in technical careers and has called on universities and political managers to change course.

Finally, the vice rector of Research has pointed out that this symposium is already a 'consolidated meeting' since 1980 and that over time has managed to become a technical forum of reference for the telecommunications sector.

'Technology must always function and serve the human being'

The researcher Marco Guglielmi, who currently participates in research on applied electromagnetism and microwave at the Polytechnic University of Valencia, has assured during the XXXII National Symposium of the International Scientific Union of Radio held at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) that 'technology has to always function and be at the service of the human being'.

The Italian researcher has offered a lecture on Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs), a system he developed at the European Space Agency to ensure that the development of technology was at the right level for its operation.

"When one investigates and develops these technologies, it is always said that everything works correctly and is perfect when it can be done only on certain days;

this system serves to ensure the correct operation, since when you throw something into space it has to always work '.

In addition, Guglielmi has stated that the 'most important' is that the technology that is developed is useful.

"Technological development costs a lot of money and effort and researchers must put it at the service of European citizens to take advantage of the result."

'In the future the environment will be very important for the propagation of the waves'

For his part, the researcher Saul Torrico ensures that the vegetation in a city influences the propagation of waves that receive mobile systems, whether high-generation as the 5G.

For him, who is dedicated to the study of the propagation of radio waves through vegetation environments for wireless applications, it is not necessary to know all the vegetation that exists in the city, since, he says, you can use tools such as Google Maps to 'get an idea of ​​how vegetation is in that place and from there to know where you can place a base station to propagate the waves'.

However, he says that after studying the environment is when you will know how much information will be lost in the process of propagation of waves.

'In the future the environment will be very important.

As we move forward in technology, higher frequencies will be needed, short propagation distances and vegetation will influence that, but we must converge towards improved communication, "he adds.
