Antoni Broquetas

Antoni Broquetas (Member, IEEE) was born in Barcelona, Catalonia, in 1959. He received the Engineering and Doctor Engineering degrees in telecommunication engineering from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona, in 1985 and 1989, respectively, where his dissertation was on microwave tomography. In 1986, he was a Research Assistant with Portsmouth Polytechnic, Portsmouth, U.K., where he was involved in propagation studies. In 1987, he joined the Department of Signal Theory and Communications, School of Telecommunication Engineering, UPC. From 1998 to 2002, he was the Subdirector of Research of the Institute of Geomatics, Barcelona. Since 1999, he has been a Full Professor with UPC, where he is involved in research on radar imaging and remote sensing. From 2003 to 2006, he was the Director of the Department of Signal Theory and Communications, UPC. From 2005 to 2009, he proposed and comanaged the Knowledge To Market (K2M) Program at UPC to support university spin-offs. He has published more than 200 papers on microwave tomography, radar, inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems, SAR processing, and interferometry. His research interests include SAR calibration techniques, ground moving target indication (GMTI) SAR performance analysis, geostationary earth orbit search and rescue (GEOSAR), and mmW ground-based SAR, in support of future SAR missions and radar remote sensing innovation.
