Title Origami Deployable Reflectarray Antennas for Small Satellites Abstract In addition to ultra-high-speed communications and low latency, 6G requires extended coverage over the air, sea, and space. In this talk, I report on an origami deployable reflectarray antenna for onboard small satellites. The antenna can be compactly stowed in a flasher fold pattern. It can be stored small when it is onboard a rocket and large when it is deployed in space. Biography Prof. Takashi Tomura received the B.E., M.E. and D.E. degrees in electrical and electronic engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan, in 2008, 2011 and 2014, respectively. He was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) in 2013. From 2014 to 2017, he worked at Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Tokyo and was engaged in research and development of aperture antennas for satellite communications and radar systems. From 2017 to 2019, He was a Specially Appointed Assistant Professor and Assistant Professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo. He is currently an Associate Professor at Institute of Science Tokyo. His research interests include electromagnetic analysis, aperture, reflectarray, and waveguide slot array antennas. Dr. Tomura received the Best Student Award from Ericsson Japan in 2012, the IEEE AP-S Tokyo Chapter Young Engineer Award in 2015, the Young Researcher Award from IEICE technical committee on antennas and propagation in 2018, and the IEEE MTT-S Japan Chapter Young Engineer Award in 2022. He is a member of the IEICE. |
