Antoine Georges Roederer (born in Paris, 1943) is a French engineer and scientist known for his significant contributions to antenna systems and satellite communications design. He is notably associated with the European Space Agency and Delft University of Technology.
Roederer was born in Paris, France, in 1943. He earned a B.S.E.E. from Ecole Superieure d'Electricite, Paris, in 1964, an M.S.E.E. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1965, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Paris VI in 1972. [1]
From 1968 to 1973, he worked with Thomson-CSF as a Radar Antenna R&D Engineer. Roederer then worked at The European Space Research and Technology Centre, part of the European Space Agency (ESA, formerly ESRO) from 1973 until his retirement in 2008, playing a crucial role in developing advanced satellite communications technologies. [1] Currently, he is a scientific advisor and a guest associate professor at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft). [1] [2]
Roederer's work has impacted the fields of satellite communications, telecommunications infrastructure, 5G technology, broadcasting, GPS, disaster management, and environmental monitoring. His contributions include innovative compact antenna designs for circularly polarised broadcasting and communications, analysis of mutual coupling and scattering in finite arrays, multibeam antenna systems and beamforming techniques, semi-active antennas, microwave hybrid couplers, thermal management in antennas and advancements in 5G technology. During his time at ESA, Roederer contributed to several missions, including Artemis, Herschel Space Observatory, Gaia, the Galileo Satellite Navigation System,as well as the INMARSAT satellite programmes. In 2000, Roederer initiated and chaired the Millennium Conference on Antennas and Propagation (AP 2000), Davos, which was the precursor of the large EUCAP conferences. [1]
Roederer holds over 20 patents, including:
