Abstract
Glide symmetries were employed for electromagnetic purposes during the 60s and 70s. Those works were focused on one-dimensional structures with potential application in low-dispersive leaky wave antennas. However, the development of planar/printed technologies in the 80s and 90s associated to their low-cost for low-frequency applications, the studies of glide symmetries stopped.
In the beginning of the 21st century, with arrival of metamaterials, there was a significant development of the understanding of periodic structures, and new methods of analysis were introduced. This theoretical development, together with the interest of industry in mm-waves, particularly for communications systems such as 5G/6G, created an opportunity to explore the possibilities of glide symmetries, especially in two-dimensional configurations.
Glide-symmetric structures have recently attracted the attention of researchers due to their attractive properties for practical applications. Among their interesting properties are low-dispersive response, enhanced anisotropy, and wide electromagnetic bandgaps. In this talk, O. Quevedo-Teruel will describe the most significant works in glide symmetries, including their application for the design of gap-waveguide technology and planar lens antennas with steerable angles of radiation.
Biography
O. Quevedo-Teruel received his Telecommunication Engineering and Ph.D. Degrees from Carlos III University of Madrid, Spain in 2005 and 2010. From 2010-2011, Dr. Quevedo-Teruel joined the Department of Theoretical Physics of Condensed Matter at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid as a research fellow and went on to continue his postdoctoral research at Queen Mary University of London from 2011-2013.
In 2014, he joined the Division of Electromagnetic Engineering and Fusion Science in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden where he is a Professor and Director of the Master Programme in Electromagnetics Fusion and Space Engineering. He has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation from 2018-2022 and Track Editor since 2022. He is also the founder and editor-in-chief of the EurAAP journal Reviews of Electromagnetics since 2020. He was the EurAAP delegate for Sweden, Norway, and Iceland from 2018-2020 and he has been a member of the EurAAP Board of Directors since January 2021. Since January 2022, he is the vice-chair of EurAAP. He was a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for the period 2019-2021. He is the Chair of the IEEE APS Educational Initiatives Programme since 2020.
He has made scientific contributions to higher symmetries, transformation optics, lens antennas, metasurfaces, and high-impedance surfaces. He is the co-author of more than 130 papers in international journals and 200 at international conferences. He is an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to glide symmetry based metasurfaces and lens antennas.
