Research by ENT experts recognized by the international scientific community

Assoc. Prof. Goran Molnar, PhD, and his doctoral student Dorian Ljubenko, researchers in ENT’s R&D Radio department, published a scientific paper titled Generalized Dolph–Chebyshev Pencil-Beam Synthesis with an Analytically Parameterized Sidelobe Envelope in the international scientific journal Electronics. The paper was published in the special issue Future Prospects of Wireless Transmission Based on Engineering Electrical Electronic and Telecommunications: 2nd Edition, following an invitation from the Editor-in-Chief of the Microwave and Wireless Communications Section. After an international peer-review process, the paper was accepted for publication.

The research presents a new, computationally efficient and scalable method for the flexible synthesis of narrow antenna array radiation patterns, with direct control of unwanted radiation. The method offers potential applications in future wireless communication systems, where precise beam steering and the reduction of unwanted radiation can contribute to more reliable communication and greater resilience to interference.

The research gained further international recognition through commendation addressed to Assoc. Prof. Goran Molnar, PhD, and Marko Matijaščić, PhD, by the Head of the Secure Connectivity Space Segment Office at the European Space Agency (ESA). In his message, he congratulated them on their scientific progress and commended the quality of their analytical solutions in the field of antenna array radiation pattern synthesis. He also expressed an interest in their new methods and a desire to present them in a professional lecture on advanced antenna technologies.
