SUMMARY:European Microwave Week 2026 (EuMW)
DESCRIPTION:6G Flagship researchers from the University of Oulu bring a live demonstration and three conference papers to European Microwave Week 2026. The week combines three conferences\, the European Microwave Conference (EuMC)\, the European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC)\, and the European Radar Conference (EuRAD)\, with the European Microwave Exhibition\, the largest RF and microwave trade show in Europe. \nAt the exhibition\, the team shows a G-band (145-220 GHz) sensing system for integrated sensing and communication (ISAC)\, built together with Virginia Diodes Inc. A sub-THz radio link carries data and\, at the same time\, detects objects that move across its line of sight. The system turns the drop in signal strength into a radio image of the object\, with no scanning beyond normal data transmission. Future 6G networks will need this kind of dual use to make the most of scarce spectrum. The demo runs on the Virginia Diodes stand D15 from 6 to 8 October. 6G Flagship and the Business Finland-funded 6GReMade project support the work. \nAt EuRAD\, Ankit Regmi presents a study that detects river ice from the polarisation of reflected satellite navigation signals (GNSS-R). The work links two Finnish flagships\, 6G Flagship and the Digital Waters Flagship (DIWA)\, and draws on expertise at the Finnish Environment Institute. \nAt EuMC\, Bilal Khan and Dimuthu Lesthuruge present two papers on digital predistortion (DPD)\, the signal processing that lets wideband power amplifiers run efficiently without distorting the signal they transmit. Bilal Khan’s paper uses a neural network to turn an ordinary low-rate receiver with limited bandwidth into a wideband\, high-rate observation receiver for DPD. Dimuthu Lesthuruge’s paper proposes a new DPD learning architecture that linearises power amplifiers in fewer iterations and with lower computational complexity. \nOn 9 October from 08:30 to 10:30\, a University of Oulu student team presents its solution in the final of the EuMW Student Design Competition\, held in a special session of EuRAD. Dimuthu Lesthuruge\, Aprotim Paul\, and Ahmed Jabir Zuhayr designed a single adaptive filter that compensates for the distortion gallium nitride power amplifiers cause in OFDM radar signals. The team worked with real measured data rather than simulations. Read more about the team’s route to the final. \nMeet 6G Flagship at European Microwave Week 2026\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLive demo\n \nMarko E.

In complicated and anisotropic media\, these material parameters may need to be generalized from scalar quantities into matrices\, or equivalently dyadics. The emergent complexity in the response of materials is very often of structural origin\, in other words the manner in which a heterogeneous mixture is formed determines its macroscopic electromagnetic material parameters. This lecture deals with the variety of ways how one is able to characterize the macroscopic dielectric and magnetic behavior of composite materials with given properties of the constituents and the geometrical microstructure. The rich history of homogenization of mixtures will be reviewed\, including Clausius−Mossotti\, Lorenz−Lorentz\, Maxwell Garnett\, Bruggeman\, and other homogenization principles\, and their ranges of applicability will be assessed. Mixing principles will be applied to media with interesting properties that differ strongly from those of the constituent materials\, like\, for example\, aqueous\, strong‐contrast\, lossy\, plasmonic\, chiral\, and bianisotropic mixtures. This leads to the domain of metamaterials\, and the lecture will shed light into this recent paradigm in electromagnetics. \n\nProf. Ari Sihvola\, Aalto University\, Finland \nAri Sihvola received the degree of Doctor of Technology in 1987 from the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK)\, Finland (presently Aalto University). Besides working for TKK\, Aalto\, and the Academy of Finland\, he was visiting engineer in the Research Laboratory of Electronics of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, Cambridge\, in 1985–1986. In 1990–1991\, he worked as a visiting scientist at the Pennsylvania State University\, State College. In 1996\, he was visiting scientist at the Lund University\, Sweden. He was visiting professor at the Electromagnetics and Acoustics Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology\, Lausanne (academic year 2000–01)\, in the University of Paris 11\, in Orsay (June 2008)\, and in the University of Rome La Sapienza (May–June 2015). His research interests include waves and fields in electromagnetics\, modeling of complex media and metamaterials\, remote sensing\, education in physics and engineering\, and history of electrical engineering. He is presently professor emeritus in the School of Electrical Engineering at the Aalto University. Ari Sihvola is President of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI)\, Life Fellow of IEEE\, and former Distinguished Lecturer of the AP Society. \n\nMagic World of Transformation Electromagnetics: Invisibility and Beyond\nTransformation Electromagnetics (TEM)\, also known as Transformation Optics\, has attracted significant attention because it enables the systematic design of a broad class of electromagnetic and optical devices\, including invisibility cloaks\, reshapers\, concentrators\, rotators\, radar cross section (RCS) reduction schemes\, flat lenses\, and compact antennas and microwave components. Often described as a coordinate transformation technique\, TEM provides an intuitive\, application-driven framework for synthesizing transformation media. It offers flexible control of electromagnetic waves by exploiting the form-invariance of Maxwell’s equations under coordinate transformations. In essence\, Maxwell’s equations preserve their structure in a mapped coordinate system\, while the corresponding medium is transformed into an anisotropic and\, in general\, inhomogeneous material that reproduces the field behavior of the modified geometry. \nBuilding on the invisibility-cloak concept introduced in 2006\, we introduced the reshaping approach in 2007\, which subsequently motivated us to explore TEM not only as a powerful device-design methodology\, but also as a means to circumvent computational difficulties arising in the numerical solution of complex electromagnetic problems. In this context\, we coined the term software metamaterials to describe transformation media engineered to facilitate computation. We have employed this idea in the numerical treatment of challenging scenarios such as multiscale electromagnetic analysis\, rough-surface scattering\, microwave imaging and EM-driven optimization. \nIn this talk\, we first review the fundamentals of TEM to clarify the underlying physics and design principles. We then present a set of representative and surprising applications that highlight the versatility of transformation-based approaches in both electromagnetics and computation. \n\nProf. Özlem ÖZGÜN\, Hacettepe University\, Ankara\, Turkiye \nÖzlem Özgün is currently a full professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and vice dean of the Faculty of Engineering at Hacettepe University\, Ankara\, Turkey. She received her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Bilkent University and her Ph.D. from Middle East Technical University (METU)\, all in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. She was a postdoctoral researcher at Penn State University\, US. \nHer research interests include various topics in computational electromagnetics and radiowave propagation\, including electromagnetic radiation and scattering\, numerical methods\, domain decomposition methods\, transformation electromagnetics\, stochastic electromagnetic problems and optimization techniques. She has authored over 130 refereed publications in international journals\, book (MATLAB-based Finite Element Programming in Electromagnetic Modeling\, CRC Press\, 2018)\, book chapters and conference proceedings. \nDr. Özgün is a senior member of IEEE and URSI and a past chair of the URSI Turkey steering committee. Her awards include the METU Best Ph.D. Thesis Award (2007)\, the Felsen Fund Excellence in Electromagnetics Award (2009)\, and Hacettepe University Science Award (2024). She was recognized among the world’s top 2% most influential scientists (Stanford University & Elsevier\, 2023–2025). \n\nHow Many Spatial Degrees of Freedom Are There? From Antennas and Near-Field Communications to Imaging and Computation\nThe number of spatial degrees of freedom (NDoF) provides a fundamental measure of how much independent information can be transmitted\, received\, or represented by an electromagnetic system. It therefore connects problems that are often treated separately\, including wireless communication\, antenna arrays\, near-field beamforming\, imaging\, and computational electromagnetics. This presentation reviews fundamental results on spatial degrees of freedom and introduces an analytical approach for estimating the NDoF between arbitrarily shaped transmitting and receiving regions. The resulting expressions have a simple geometrical interpretation in terms of shadow areas measured in wavelengths and unify and extend established results based on\, for example\, Weyl’s law and the paraxial approximation. \nThe analytical predictions are compared with numerical evaluations of the singular-value spectrum of the electromagnetic propagation operator\, both in free space and in environments containing structures such as ground planes and corners. The connection between spatial DoF\, sampling\, and near-field beamforming is then explored\, illustrating how the available electromagnetic degrees of freedom determine the number of independent spatial channels and the sampling required to represent them. Finally\, connections to characteristic mode theory\, electromagnetic imaging\, and low-rank compression of Method of Moments matrices are discussed. These examples illustrate how spatial degrees of freedom provide a common framework for understanding fundamental limits and computational complexity across a broad range of electromagnetic problems. \n\nProf. Mats Gustafsson\, Lund University\, Sweden \nMats Gustafsson received the M.Sc. degree in Engineering Physics in 1994 and the Ph.D. degree in Electromagnetic Theory in 2000 from Lund University\, Sweden. He was appointed Docent in 2005 and Professor of Electromagnetic Theory at Lund University in 2011. In 2004\, he co-founded Phase Holographic Imaging AB. His research interests include electromagnetic scattering\, antenna theory\, inverse scattering\, imaging\, and fundamental limitations of electromagnetic systems. He has authored or co-authored more than 100 peer-reviewed journal papers and more than 100 conference papers. Prof. Gustafsson received the IEEE Schelkunoff Transactions Prize Paper Award in 2010\, the IEEE Uslenghi Letters Prize Paper Award in 2019\, and the IEEE Altschuler Prize Paper Award in 2025\, as well as Best Paper Awards at EuCAP in 2007 and 2013. He served as an IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Distinguished Lecturer from 2013 to 2015. \n\nNon-Hermitian Electromagnetics and Its Applications\nOver the past decade\, non-Hermitian physics and its unique singularities—exceptional points (EPs)— have redefined wave engineering\, facilitating breakthroughs in signal generation\, routing\, and sensing. My talk starts with reviewing non-Hermitian physics and parity-time (PT) symmetry\, demonstrating how the formal similarity between Schrödinger’s and Maxwell’s equations enable electromagnetic systems with unconventional functionalities like unidirectional propagation and chiral dynamics. I will showcase our recent advancements in the RF and microwave domains\, such as EP-based wireless sensors with unprecedented sensitivity\, new classes of wideband and lossless non-Hermitian metamaterials exhibiting extreme effective material properties\, super-directive antennas\, misalignment-tolerant wireless power transfer\, and entropy-boosted electromagnetic fingerprints for hardware security. I will also introduce the self-dual absorber-emitter singularity in PT systems and their potential in tailoring laser thresholds and developing ultrasensitive Interferometric sensors. \n\nProf. Pai-Yen Chen\, University of Illinois Chicago (UIC)\, USA \nProf. Pai-Yen Chen is a Professor and University Scholar in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC).

In addition to the classical LF/MF/HF broadcast and communication systems\, emerging HF and VHF radar technologies\, intelligent transportation or digital radio broadcast systems require understanding propagation characteristics over the Earth’s surface along realistic propagation paths. It is therefore propagation engineers’ or site surveyors’ dream to have a numerical propagation tool that calculates path losses between any two points marked on their digital maps. This necessitates the solution of electromagnetic (EM) wave equation in three-dimension (3D) which takes into account various EM effects\, such as\, the irregular terrain profile\, the vegetation\, the Earth’s curvature\, the atmospheric refractivity\, the presence of buildings\, cars\, and other obstacles\, etc. Also\, it must include all the relevant scattering components (e.g.\, multiple reflections and refractions\, edge/tip diffractions\, surface and/or leaky waves\, etc.) that account for the path loss. Unfortunately\, this is not yet in sight. The aim of this presentation is to review electromagnetic wave propagation models and numerical propagation prediction tools and discuss problems\, challenges\, and project future developments. \n\nProf. Levent Sevgi\, ITU – Istanbul Technical University\, Istanbul\, Turkiye \nProf. Dr. Levent Sevgi is a Fellow of the IEEE (since 2009) and the recipient of IEEE APS Chen-To Tai Distinguished Educator Award (2021).

It gathers visionary researchers in academia and industry from all over the world to the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. IEEE MeditCom features a comprehensive and timely technical program\, addressing the hottest topics in the areas of communications and networking. IEEE MeditCom 2026 solicits researchers in industry and academia to submit papers on a wide range of research subjects\, encompassing theoretical and applied research. \nRepresenting 6G Flagship\n6G Flagship is represented at the event by D.Sc. Thushan Sivalingam\, who will present his paper on “Trajectory-Centric Generative Semantic Communication for Wireless Video Transmission”. \n🕘 Time: Tuesday\, July 7\, 9:00 – 10:30\n🎤 Session 3: Semantic and Task-oriented Communications\n📍 Room: Villanova. \nAbstract:\nVideo semantic communication (SemCom) focuses on transmitting the semantic meaning of the video rather than pixel-accurate frames\, enabling efficient operation under bandwidth constraints. This paper presents a trajectory-centric semantic video communication framework that performs predictive video transmission in a compact latent space using a small set of context frames. The proposed model leverages vector-quantized latent compression with a lightweight temporal transformer to infer future frames at the receiver\, significantly reducing transmission overhead. Motion dynamics are explicitly treated as semantic information\, providing a compact representation of motion fidelity. Using normalized end-point error (nEPE)\, a novel trajectory-based metric for video SemCom\, we measured motion accuracy. Experimental results on the BAIR robot pushing dataset demonstrate that the proposed approach preserves motion trajectories and perceptual quality while operating at a low bitrate of 0.27 bits per pixel (bpp)\, outperforming conventional video codecs and learning-based baselines in semantic fidelity under wireless channel conditions. \nFull program available at MeditCom 2026 website.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Bridging MIMO Signal Processing\, Hardware Design\, and Physically Consistent Modeling @ ICASSP 2026
DESCRIPTION:The half-day workshop is a satellite workshop associated with ICASSP 2026. \nThe workshop aims to unite academic and industrial researchers\, students\, and professionals who are working on or are interested in the state-of-the-art\, research challenges\, and expected evolution of multi-antenna communications. The workshop has a cross-disciplinary scope that connects MIMO signal processing with hardware design\, circuit theory\, and EM theory. \nMassive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is a cornerstone of modern wireless systems and is set to play an even greater role in 6G and beyond. As these systems evolve\, extremely large MIMO (XL-MIMO) and holographic MIMO are emerging as key technologies. XL-MIMO leverages physically large\, dense antenna arrays with thousands of elements with sub-wavelength spacing to achieve unprecedented spectral and energy efficiency\, while holographic MIMO replaces traditional arrays with continuous surfaces capable of full electromagnetic wave manipulation. These paradigms demand physically consistent models grounded in circuit and EM theory\, moving beyond the simplifications traditionally used in wireless communications. \nThis half-day workshop will explore the integration of MIMO signal processing\, hardware design\, and physically consistent modelling\, highlighting the need for both hardware-aware algorithm design and algorithm-aware hardware architectures. It offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the challenges and opportunities of operating at the interface of signal processing and physical-layer realism. The programme features three invited talks from leading researchers\, paper presentations selected through an open call\, and a panel discussion on future research directions. \n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\n09:00–09:05\nOpening\n\n\n09:05–09:40\nInvited presentation: Angel Lozano\n\n\n09:40–10:15\nInvited presentation: Josef A. Nossek\n\n\n10:15–10:30\nPaper 1\n\n\n10:30–11:00\nCoffee break\n\n\n11:00–11:35\nInvited presentation: Davide Dardari\n\n\n11:35–11:50\nPaper 2\n\n\n11:50–12:05\nPaper 3\n\n\n12:05–12:30\nPanel discussion\n\n\n\n\n\nInvited Speakers\n \n\n\n \n\nAngel Lozano\nProfessor\, Department of Engineering\, Universitat Pompeu Fabra\, Barcelona (Spain)\n\n\nTitle: “Channel Estimation for XL MIMO: A Middle Way”\nAbstract: With the frequency and array apertures growing steadily larger\, the number of antenna elements per array has gone from a handful to hundreds\, and soon thousands. The associated channel estimation problem\, which used to be a rather trivial task\, is fast becoming a critical challenge. And\, compounding the difficulty\, the time-honoured far-field assumption mostly ceases to hold in these situations\, and the wavefront curvature is revealed over the arrays. This lecture presents an original approach that is perfectly suited to the estimation of large-dimensional near-field channels. Specifically\, by expressing the curved wavefront as a polynomial via a power series expansion of a sphere\, the estimation can be cast as a multidimensional polynomial phase estimation problem. The application of a tailored polynomial phase estimator\, able to handle arbitrary dimensions and polynomial degrees\, yields an excellent trade-off between channel estimation accuracy and complexity.\n\n \n\n\n \n\nJosef A. Nossek\nEmeritus of Excellence\, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Technical University of Munich (Germany)\n\n\nTitle: “Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces and Circuit Theory”\nAbstract: Information theory serves well as the mathematical theory of communication. However\, it contains no provision that makes sure its theorems are consistent with the physical laws that govern any existing realisation of a communication system. Therefore\, it may not be surprising that applications of information theory or signal processing\, as currently practised\, easily turn out to be inconsistent with fundamental principles of physics\, such as the law of conservation of energy. It is the purpose of multiport communication theory to provide the necessary framework ensuring that applications of signal processing and information theory actually do comply with physical law. This framework involves a circuit theoretic approach where the inputs and outputs of the communication system are associated with ports of a multiport black box. Thanks to each port being described by a pair of two instead of just one variable\, consistency with physics can be maintained. The connection to information theory and signal processing is then obtained by means of isomorphisms between mathematical symbols of the latter and the physical quantities of the multiport model such as transmit power and noise covariance. The principles of the multiport communication theory are presented and accompanied by a discussion of interesting results of its application to wireless links supported by Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS).\n\n \n\n\n \n\nDavide Dardari\nProfessor\, Department of Electrical\, Electronic\, and Information Engineering “Guglielmo Marconi”\, University of Bologna (Italy)\n\n\nTitle: “Wave-Domain Multifunctional Electromagnetic Signal Processing for XL-MIMO”\nAbstract: While XL-MIMO represents a promising technology to improve the communication and sensing performance of next-generation wireless systems\, it poses several challenges from both technological and sustainability perspectives. Thanks to the introduction of new reconfigurable antenna and metamaterial technologies\, an interesting research direction is to shift part of the signal processing directly to the wave domain. This talk will provide an overview of physically consistent modelling\, fundamental limits\, and optimisation approaches for reconfigurable electromagnetic systems enabling multifunctional wave-domain processing. Some numerical examples related to beamforming\, MISO\, and MIMO precoding will be presented to illustrate the potential of this concept.\n\n\n \n\nPapers\n\nAnzheng Tang\, Shenghui Song\, Chi-Ying Tsui\, Rodrigo C. de Lamare\, and Merouane Debbah\, “Channel Estimation for Holographic MIMO Systems with Mutual Coupling Awareness”\nFrancesco Verde\, Donatella Darsena\, Marco Di Renzo\, and Vincenzo Galdi\, “Optimal Transmit Field Distribution for Partially Obstructed Continuous Radiating Surfaces in Near-Field Communication Systems”\nRuiding Hou\, Jiaheng Wang\, Sen Wang\, Yongming Huang\, Yutong Zhang\, Liang Xia\, and Jing Jin\, “Linear WMMSE MIMO Precoding with One-Bit DACs”\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganisers\n\n \nItalo Atzeni\nAssociate Professor\, Centre for Wireless Communications\, University of Oulu (Finland)\n\n\n \nGeorge C.
