Jonas Medbo is currently a senior specialist in applied propagation at Ericsson Research, Sweden. He received his Ph.D. degree in particle physics from Uppsala University, Sweden, in 1997. Since 1997 he has been with Ericsson Research focusing on propagation research. He has contributed to widely used propagation modellings in ETSI 3GPP, METIS, mmMAGIC and ITU-R. In particular, he has been focusing on highly resolved directional channel characteristics for which he received the best propagation paper award at the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) in 2012., In the past he has been a driver of 5G propagation measurements and modelling in the European projects METIS and mmMAGIC. For this work, the METIS channel modelling group received the Wireless Innovation Forum Technology of the Year Award 2015 for "METIS project's Development of 5G radio channel models". Moreover, he has contributed substantially to the 5G channel models in 3GPP and been a main driver of the resent ITU-R models (P.2108 & P.2109) to be used for intersystem spectrum sharing studies prior to world radio conference in 2019 with corresponding IMT 2020 spectrum allocation.
