Our distinguished visiting professor, Prof. Ke WU from the University of Montreal, Canada, delivers the short course series (SIW Technology for Antenna Systems) to EE colleagues and research students.

Abstract

This short course on substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) for antenna systems consists of three parts, which is organized for graduate students and young researchers working in the field of applied electromagnetics and RF/microwave antennas/circuits. The first part is concerned with the introduction and fundamentals of SIW technology for antenna design and developments. The second part is dedicated to the presentation of SIW components and integration techniques for antenna system applications. The third part is a special technical lecture, which discusses the SIW-related state-of-the-art technology developments and advanced system demonstrations for 5G/6G system applications with focus on millimeter-wave and terahertz developments. The total duration for the entire course is about 9 hours, which is delivered over three different periods of time.
