INVITATION TO THE FKC SEMINAR SERIES-3/2025

The Faculty of Intelligent Computing (FKC), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP), is pleased to invite you to attend the upcoming seminar as part of our FKC Seminar Series 2025:

Title: Phased Array Antennas and Beamforming
Speaker: Associate Professor Dr. Norun Farihah Abdul Malek
Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering,
Kulliyyah of Engineering, International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM)
Date: Friday, 24 October 2025
Time: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Venue: KeySight Laboratory, TVET Centre, UniMAP Pauh Putra (Green Building)

Phased array antennas are changing the way modern communication and sensing systems work. They can steer signals electronically without using any moving parts, allowing faster and more accurate performance. This seminar will discuss the basics of phased array design, how beamforming works, and new trends like AI-based reconfigurable intelligent surfaces. These innovations are shaping the future of 5G, 6G, and other wireless technologies.  

 Participation is free of charge
 CPD points will be awarded to all UniMAP staff
 E-certificates will be provided to participants
