Write-up on the Event:

The CST Antenna Design Workshop under “AEROSPHERE 2026,” jointly organized by the IEEE Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society (AESS) Student Branch Chapter and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Student Branch Chapter at the School of Electronics Engineering, KIIT (Deemed to be University), Bhubaneswar, was a highly impactful technical event focused on advancing knowledge in antenna engineering for space applications. The workshop featured an invited talk on “Antenna Design Techniques for Small Satellite Applications,” delivered by Mr. Arunya Paul, KIIT (DU) alumnus (B.Tech, E&TC, Batch 2021–2025), 2025 IEEE AP-S USRS Researcher, and Research Intern at IIST Trivandrum. Conducted on Saturday, 28th February 2026, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM at the New Conference Hall near White OAT, Campus-12, the session was held in offline mode and witnessed the active participation of 45 students. The primary objective of the workshop was to enhance academic knowledge while promoting social awareness and outreach through advanced antenna design concepts. The speaker provided detailed insights into CST-based antenna modeling, simulation techniques, and practical design considerations for compact satellite systems. A key highlight of the session was the emphasis on real-world challenges in small satellite communication and the optimization of antenna performance under stringent size and power constraints. The interactive nature of the workshop enabled participants to gain hands-on understanding and clarified their concepts effectively. Overall, the event successfully fostered technical excellence and inspired students to explore research opportunities in antenna and space communication systems.
