The 2025 BWant Winter Camp is set to be a transformative experience for aspiring space engineers, offering an immersive week-long program designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge application.
Tailored primarily for master's students, with a special opportunity for a standout sophomore, the camp provides two distinct tracks: "AI Application to Satellite Antenna Design" and "Low Orbit Satellite Signal Tracking."
AI Application to Satellite Antenna Design: The Future of Antenna Engineering
In an era where efficiency and precision are paramount, the "AI Application to Satellite Antenna Design" track delves into the revolutionary potential of deep learning. Students will work with a pre trained model, built on 10,000 data points, capable of predicting the performance of slot-coupled patch antennas. This model, driven by five key design parameters—slot length and width, patch diameter, slot-patch distance, microstrip line length, and antenna performance (gain and SWR)—allows for both predictive analysis and inverse design, where target performance dictates design parameters.
This track isn't just about using AI; it's about understanding and harnessing its power. Participants will learn cross-disciplinary deep learning programming and training methods, gaining invaluable skills applicable across various engineering domains. The aim is to empower future antenna engineers with the tools to innovate and optimize designs with unprecedented speed and accuracy.
LOW ORBIT SATELLITE SIGNAL TRACKING: EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING IN REAL-TIME
The "Low Orbit Satellite Signal Tracking" track offers a hands-on, outdoor experience that brings the complexities of satellite communication to life. Students will explore the operational characteristics of diverse satellites, dissect the structure of user terminal systems, and gain practical knowledge of RF devices.
What sets this track apart is the real-world application. Participants will conduct outdoor experiments, measuring low orbit satellite signals with the aid of custom-built software. BWant engineers have developed specialized programs for terminal antenna motor control and real-time satellite constellation tracking, converting satellite TLE data into actionable insights. This track fosters a deep understanding of satellite dynamics and the critical role of accurate tracking in modern communication systems.
