EuCAP 2020 is just around the corner
6 March 2020: EuCAP 2020 has been cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation. Read more on the EuCAP website.
Ever since the inception of EuCAP in Nice 2006, TICRA has been a proud sponsor and exhibitor just as our team has contributed with numerous technical papers to the symposium. Therefore, we are extremely excited that finally, and very appropriately at the 200 years anniversary of Ørsted’s discovery of electromagnetism, EuCAP 2020 takes place in our hometown of Copenhagen, Denmark, from 15 to 20 March.
Throughout the exhibition opening hours, you can visit us at booth 33 to see a display of antenna designs that TICRA has been involved in, get product demonstrations and talk to our experts. And don’t miss out on the many presentations on the latest developments and projects within satellite and antenna RF modeling.
Workshop on analysis and design of advanced antenna systems using TICRA Tools
Dr. Min Zhou and Dr. Peter Meincke are hosting a workshop about the analysis and design of advanced antenna systems using TICRA Tools. In this workshop the most important research results obtained by TICRA will be presented. Also, it will be demonstrated how the products within TICRA Tools work seamlessly together and how they can be used to design advanced antenna systems.
Time: Wednesday 18 March, 10:40 to 12:20
Session: Scientific/Industrial Workshops
Room: 13
Invited speak: Computational Electromagnetics in Space
Dr. Erik Jørgensen has been invited to speak about computation electromagnetics in space. During the talk, a number of CEM algorithms developed for space applications will be reviewed and discussed. The algorithms are tailored to the special needs of the space industry through a combination of several approaches, including application of higher-order methods, development of dedicated solvers for specific types of antennas, hybridisation of methods, as well as inclusion of advanced techniques for quantifying uncertainties on the input variables. Application examples will be presented to illustrate the capabilities of the algorithms.
When: Wednesday 18 March, 14:50 to 15:30
Session: Invited Speaker Session

TICRA Foundation and EurAAP travel grants
This year, the TICRA Foundation is teaming up with EurAAP to award 10 authors of accepted papers with a travel grant. The selection of awardees is based on the author’s potential or demonstrated aptitude for research and will also take into account the author’s financial situation. The travel grants will be given during the conference dinner.
