Abstract
- CubeSats are modular and standardized modern small satellites. They have been gaining steady popularity as educational projects, low-cost space exploration vehicles for technology demonstrations, multi-point observations of the space environment, and monitoring/reporting proper deployment of expensive deep space instruments. With the rapid advancement of electronics, novel mechanical design, and aerospace technology, new progress in CubeSats is emerging daily. This calls for interest and early involvement of creative young minds. This presentation aims to convey the basics of the CubeSat development cycle, launch methods, typical CubeSat orbits, link budget analysis, various antenna solutions, and feasible classroom projects. For the interests of young professionals in electrical engineering, this lecture features a tour of several recent CubeSat missions and antenna designs for spacecraft, ground stations, and radio beacons.

Design and Implementation of Radar Systems
-
Workshop Description
- This workshop provides basic concepts and components of radar systems, including the interface between the design and the implementation of such radar systems. The main objective is to present advanced design concepts using industry-standard computer-aided design tools that are typically used by radar design engineers. The integrating process of subsystems will be presented, some prototypes will be tested, and results will be presented. The demonstration will also be available onsite during the conference dates.
-
Workshop Topics
- The following topics on radar subsystem will be discussed (duration 15 minutes each):
- Introduction to radar system
- Design and implementation of a software-designed radio platform
- Radar antennas and beamforming
- Principles of radar target tracking
- Artificial intelligence radar application
