Pål Orten

Pål Orten is a Professor II at the University of Oslo's Institute of Transport Economics (ITS), holding a 20% part-time position. He is affiliated with the Section for Autonomous Systems and Sensor Technologies, focusing on advanced communication systems including underwater acoustic networks, maritime communication infrastructure, and millimeter-wave technologies. His research bridges theoretical signal processing with practical hardware implementations, particularly leveraging FPGA platforms for real-time systems.

Key research areas include: (1) Underwater Acoustic Communication (channel modeling, MIMO systems, FPGA-based platforms), (2) Maritime Connectivity (5G applications, intelligent reflecting surfaces), and (3) Millimeter-Wave Systems (MIMO design, phased arrays). His work addresses challenges in autonomous systems, industrial automation, and aquaculture monitoring.

Recent publications highlight innovations like the WindNet mobile base station for maritime use and experimental evaluations of high-frequency underwater communication systems. His contributions span IEEE conferences (e.g., IHTC, ITNAC, VTC) and journals like IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering and International Journal of Antennas and Propagation.
