Abstract
Lens antennas are commonly englobed in a more general type of antennas, named aperture antennas. As their name indicates, they make use of a lens to modify the field distribution at the aperture of the antenna, which is typically fed by a single source. The lens is employed to transform the waves arriving from the source into a desired radiation pattern. Commonly, the desired radiation pattern is a directive beam in a given direction. However, similar to arrays, reflectors or leaky wave antennas, the goal changes depending on the application. For example, other desired features may be to produce multiple beams, or a broad beam-width.In this talk, Prof. Quevedo-Teruel will explain the fundamental operation of lens antennas in the microwave regime, and we will go through the recent trends and their potential use for 5G/6G and satellite communications.

Biography
Oscar Quevedo-Teruel received his Telecommunication Engineering and Ph.D. Degrees from Carlos III University of Madrid, Spain in 2005 and 2010. From 2010-2011, he 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 KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm, Sweden), where he is presently a Full Professor in the Division of Electromagnetic Engineering and Fusion Science. He is also the Responsible for the Antenna Laboratory and Director of the Master Programme in Electromagnetics Fusion and Space Engineering.

He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (IEEE TAP) since 2018-2022, and he acts as Track Editor in IEEE TAP since 2022. He was a distinguished lecturer of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for the period of 2019-2022. He is an IEEE Fellow for his contributions to glide symmetry based metasurfaces and lens antennas. He has been a member of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) Board of Directors since January 2021. Since January 2022, he is the vice-chair of EurAAP. He is the co-author of more than 140 papers in international journals and more than 240 at international conferences.
