Research excellence lecture series 2024 – Dr Can Ding

Join our Research Excellence Lecture Series featuring Dr Can Ding, exploring Antenna Collocation for Future Telecommunication Infrastructure

Managing Interference in Antenna Collocation for Future Telecommunication Infrastructure

Abstract

The evolution from 2G to 6G brings increasing complexity in frequency bands, standards, and connected devices. In 6G, integrating terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks, including UAVs, aeroplanes, and satellites, introduces new challenges for antenna systems. To meet these demands, antenna designs must enable collocation and shared apertures across multiple polarisations and frequency bands, optimising spectrum use and efficiency. However, antenna collocation can cause self- and mutual interference, affecting system reliability. This talk explores techniques for mitigating interference through electromagnetically uncoupled antenna designs, ensuring robust performance in complex communication environments.
