Laurent Le Coq

Head of M2ARS (Manufacturing Measurement and Analysis of Radiating Systems), the IETR facility unit bringing together 7 facilities dedicated to Electro Magnetic studies up to 500GHz, among which three antenna test and imaging facilities (up to 500GHz) and a prototyping service.

Scientific head of international level facilities projects CAMILL ([18-110]GHz compact antenna test range and [18-500]GHz far field antenna test facility), CACENDRA ([0.8-26.5]GHz near and far field antenna test range), PE2M (micro machining and electronic prototyping units) defined in the main project SOPHIE-STIC&Ondes supported by European Community, French government, Brittany Region, Conseil Départemental d’Ille et Vilaine, Rennes metropole. These scientific projects are included in M2ARS unit. Beginning of the projects: 2015. End of the project: 2021.

IETR scientific delegate for the M2ARS dedicated building project: definition of technical requirements, IETR delegate during tender process, member of construction board. Beginning of the projects: 2015. End of the project: 2021.

His activities in antenna measurements and development of related procedures involved him in more than 30 research contracts of national or European interest.

He is author and co-author of more than 40 journal papers and 50 papers in conference proceedings.
