Welcome you to the Presentation on Waveguide Array Antennas and Microstrip Reflectarrays for Space Applications By Dr. Sembiam R. Rengarajan California State University of Northridge Date: Wednesday, April 15, 2009 Place: CSUN Jacaranda Hall Room 4440. College of Engineering and Computer Science California State University, Northridge 18111 Nordhoff Street, Northridge, CA 91330 RSVP: By April 12 to Ms. Irena Kageorgis, irenakageorgis@ieee.org
Waveguide-fed slot arrays and microstrip reflectarrays are increasingly employed in space based radar and remote sensing applications because of desirable characteristics such as low volume and ease of deployment. It is possible to control the aperture distribution of such arrays to great accuracies using precise electromagnetic models. Generally it is possible to achieve the design objectives in one pass without any iteration. We will discuss the theory, design and optimization techniques employed in developing many practical arrays.

Dr. Sembiam R. Rengarajan received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Brunswick, Canada in 1980. Since then he has been with California State University, Northridge (CSUN), presently serving as a Professor. He has held visiting professorships at UCLA, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, Spain, University of Pretoria, South Africa, and Technical University of Denmark. He has served as a consultant to industry in the US and abroad. His research interests include applications of electromagnetics to antennas, scattering, and microwave components. He has authored/co-authored 200 journal articles and conference papers. Dr. Rengarajan is a Fellow of IEEE, and a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy. He served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (AP) and as an Associate Editor of the IEEE AP Magazine (2000-03). He was the chair of the LA Chapter of IEEE AP Society (1983-84), and chair of the San Fernando Valley Section of IEEE (1995). He was the chair of the Education Committee of the IEEE APS. He has received several awards for his contributions to NASA. He received the Preeminent Scholarly Publication Award from CSUN in 2005 and a Distinguished Engineering Educator of the Year Award from the Engineers' Council of California in 1995. He serves as the vice-chair of the Commission on Waves and Fields of the United States National Committee of the International Union of Radio Science (2009-11). He is an Adjunct Professor at the Electromagnetics Academy at Zhejiang University in China.
