Problem addressed

In future wireless networks, such as 6G communications and integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, the theory and implementation of ultra-wideband, wide-angle scanning phased array antennas is still under development.

Innovation
  • The simplest and most effective method to handle the two main problems in ultra-wideband phased arrays: Common-mode resonance and ultra-wideband impedance matching.
Key impact
  • Ultra-wideband performance and wide-angle beam scanning ability.
  • Compact size, light weight and low cost.
Award
  • Gold Medal at the “2025 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions”
Application
  • Adaptable to different types of future wireless networks, such as 6G communications, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) and consumer electronics.
