Map of Experts - Propagation WG


Propagation is the core and integral part of every wireless system

and investigations on propagation are the starting point for every new system that is designed from scratch or adapted to a new frequency range and/or operational environment.


List of propagation Experts in Europe

Within this Working Group, the idea has been raised to build a map of research groups/laboratories in Europe (and close countries), which will help to provide a consolidated vision of the European capacity in propagation.


The current list is the result of this initiative and contains the data that has been collected so far. The list is, therefore, not complete and should be considered as a living one, to be updated regularly. Every research institution active in propagation, which wishes to be included in the list should fill the excel sheet and send it to the contact person: Lorenzo Luini.

Scope  

Propagation is the core and integral part of every wireless system, and investigations on propagation are the starting point for every new system that is designed from scratch or adapted to a new frequency range and/or operational environment.

Although research in propagation has a long tradition in radio science, we are still far away from having answers to all propagation-related problems and questions arising from research, development, standardization, regulation and operation of wireless communications. On the other hand the propagation community is split in “sub-communities”, such as mobile propagation, satellite propagation, remote sensing, etc.

The separate sub-communities meet typically at separate conferences. Still there are many topics common to each of these areas and for that reason all can benefit from interactions between them.

The European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) - organised by EurAAP - is the only big conference in Europe where scientists representing the different areas are present together, enabling the exchange of information as well as networking across the different sub-communities. Under the umbrella of EurAAP, a Working Group on Propagation (WG9) working group on propagation has been created, with the goal to stimulate collaborations and take a variety of initiatives regarding propagation research in Europe (and close countries).

Within this Working Group, the idea has been raised to build a map of research groups/laboratories in Europe (and close countries), which will help to provide a consolidated vision of the European capacity in propagation. The current map is the result of this initiative and contains the data that has been collected so far. The map is, therefore, not complete and should be considered as a living one, to be updated regularly. Every research institution active in propagation, which wishes to be included in the map should fill the excel sheet given here and send it to the contact person: Lorenzo Luini.

Approach

For the collection of the data the institutions have been grouped according to two criteria. The first one is the country, where in some cases a small block of countries have been grouped together following the principle of regions in the EurAAP delegate Assembly. The second criteria is the scientific/application topic. Similar to the grouping of countries, some topical areas have been merged, resulting in the following six areas:

  • Mobile Communication (Mobile);

  • Satellite Communication (Satellite);

  • Remote Sensing, radar, radio astronomy (RemRadRas);

  • Navigation (Nav);

  • Free Space Optics (FSO);

  • Other topics (Other), including terrestrial and ionospheric propagation.

The data of all institutions belonging to the same research area and country is compiled into one list. In order to generate a first version of the data, an expert for each country/area has been approached in order to collect the data for this entry. This expert has asked the named persons from the institutions included in the files for permission to publish the data and has communicated this to the authors of the document.

A special acknowledgment goes to Johannes Baumgarten, who prepared the Excel sheet for the collection of the data as well as to Jarosław Sadowski and Krzysztof Cwalina for preparing the web page.

Below is the list of these experts, who are warmly thanked for their contribution to building the current map.
