Abstract

In recent years, wireless communication networks have seen significant advancements. This talk focus on the latest developments in antenna technology, particularly highlighting the innovative use of dual-polarized antennas for full-duplex communication and radar/diversity applications.

Dual-polarized antennas are increasingly recognized as a promising solution for enhancing communication efficiency and signal reliability in next-generation wireless networks. By employing orthogonal polarizations, these antennas enable simultaneous signal transmission and reception, supporting full-duplex communication.

Additionally, their ability to capture multiple signal paths and mitigate multipath fading makes them well-suited for radar applications, especially in target detection and range measurement using frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar systems. The talk will explore how integrating dual-polarized antennas with FMCW radar technology can significantly enhance target detection capabilities, particularly in challenging environments by using different polarizations.
