As part of the Course: Introduction to Space Engineering of Universidad Católica Santa María La Antigua, we had the Guest Lecture “Microwave Technologies for Space Applications” by Dr. Carlos A. Donado Morcillo, Adjunct Professor at USMA. Dr. Donado is a Senior Engineer at Nanowave Technologies with a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology. Dr. Donado designs and develops state-of-the-art, high power microwave/RF components for aerospace applications. Several students from Costa Rica and Panama who attended this remote Lecture were able to learn about new communication networks based on LEO satellite networks and the current technological challenges faced by space microwave systems.
