| Title | Design of Wideband Reflectarrays and Transmitarrays of Magnetoelectric Dipole Antennas |
| Overview | The magnetoelectric (ME) dipoles have been successfully developed for mobile communications, radars and sensing connectivity with many distinguished features including wide bandwidth, low cross polarization, low back radiation and stable gain and beamwidth over the operating frequencies. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the ME dipoles are also attractive for the design of reflectarrays (RA) and transmitarrays (TA) that are of topical interest in the antenna community. In this talk, design of high-gain, beam-steerable reflectarrays and transmitarrays operating at microwaves and millimeter waves based on the ME dipoles will be reviewed.
First, the basic operating principles of ME dipole, RA and TA are introduced. Next, the ME-diole-based TRA and TA designs are discussed, with a few samples presented in details, including fixed-beam designs with high aperture efficiency and reconfigurable designs with wide-angle scanning capability. It will be demonstrated that the use of ME dipoles instead of conventional microstrip antennas can significantly enhance the bandwidth of the antenna arrays. Possible future work will also be shared. |

| Title | Functional-Material Integrated High-Frequency Devices for Millimeter-wave and Terahertz Applications |
| Overview | Technology market forecasts high-frequency products will boost up rapidly in the coming decades not only the popular microwave electronics but also that of unreleased millimeter-wave and terahertz inventions. Scientists put hard efforts to demonstrate both feasibility and capability of the new allocated frequency spectrum by ITU from 110 to 450 GHz that can be commercialization through the introduction of emerging applications of wireless systems such as 6G communications, terahertz imaging, millimeter-wave detection and sensing, low-orbit space communications, intelligent ultra-fast wireless, green energy network, etc. In this talk, the speaker is going to introduce recent high-frequency electronic developments by other world-leading antenna research groups and share state-of-the-art antenna technologies invented at the State Key Laboratory of Terahertz and Millimeter Waves, City University of Hong Kong. Breaking through the bottleneck of PIN diode at high-frequency devices, the speaker will demonstrate some examples of using functional materials to design millimeter-wave and terahertz reconfigurable, tunable, and switchable devices including antennas, metasurfaces, polarizers, modulators, and filters. |
