THMA1: Scalable MIMO Testbed and Hybrid Beamforming Technology Drive High-Resilient Connectivity in 6G Networks and SATCOM

Abstract
Next-generation wireless communication systems rely on advanced radio frequency (RF) technologies to ensure high-capacity, low-latency, and resilient connectivity. This workshop introduces recent progress in phased array antennas, advanced beamforming, and over-the-air (OTA) testbeds for both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks (NTN). Key topics include FR2/FR3 prototyping, scalable multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) platforms, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS), integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), AI/ML-enabled RF design, and electronically steerable antennas (ESA), offering participants practical methodologies and system-level insights for advancing fifth generation (5G) and sixth generation (6G) technologies.
