Speech Title: Antenna Solutions and Analysis for Commercial 5G mmWave Antenna-in-Package (AiP) Designs

Abstract: This presentation will explore the latest trends in 5G millimeter-wave (mmWave) antennas and address the challenges encountered by engineers in this field. To enhance the audience's understanding of mmWave array antenna design within the framework of commercial Antenna-in-Package (AiP) systems, we will examine a series of commercial mmWave AiP designs, starting with the QTM 052. The discussion will explore the design techniques adopted in these solutions and compare them with recent developments in academic research. Finally, the presentation will conclude with a brief outlook on future 5G mmWave (FR2) and 6G communication.

Biography: Prof. SIM Chow-Yen-Desmond, born in Singapore in February 1971, received his B.S. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Leicester, UK, in 1998, and his Ph.D. in the Radio System Group from the same university in 2003. He joined Feng Chia University in July 2003, where he has served as a Distinguished Professor since August 2016. Prof. Sim’s research interests focus on small antenna designs and RFID applications, particularly in 5G sub-6GHz/mmWave antennas, RFID antennas, antenna arrays, and laptop antennas. He has published over 200 SCI-indexed journal papers on these topics. Prof. Sim was elected a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET) in February 2013. He served as an Associate Editor (AE) for IEEE Access (2015–2022) and IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWPL) (2017–2023). Currently, he is an AE for the IEEE Journal of RFID, IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation, and the International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering. Prof. Sim has contributed to numerous conferences as a General Chair, Co-Chair, Technical Program Committee (TPC) Chair, or TPC member. He has also been invited as a Keynote, Workshop/Tutorial Speaker and Invited Speaker in many international conferences. He served as the Chapter Chair of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), Taipei Chapter (2016–2017), and was the founding Chapter Chair of the IEEE Council of RFID, Taipei Chapter (2017–2020). Prof. Sim received the IEEE AP-S Outstanding Reviewer Award (Transactions on Antennas and Propagation) for eight consecutive years (2014–2021) and the Outstanding Associate Editor Award from IEEE AWPL in July 2018. He was appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for the term 2024–2026. In 2025, Prof. Sim was elevated to IEEE Fellow “for contributions to the practical design and application of high-isolation broadband antennas and arrays."

Speech Title: Millimeter Wave Signal Propagation in Indoor Environment and Underground Mine

Abstract: With a huge spectrum of 5–7 GHz allocated as an unlicensed band worldwide, the 60-GHz millimeter wave frequency range has become attractive for future indoor networking. Very high data rates can be reached (on the order of several Gbps) because of the large available spectrum. With low interference with neighboring networks due to the oxygen resonance around 60 GHz, it becomes feasible to control mining machinery and implement underground communications by using wireless sensors. Modelling 60 GHz millimeter wave signal propagation in indoor environment and underground mine is of vital importance for realizing the above goals. Most of published channel modeling studies in the 60 GHz still make efforts to evaluate the heuristic diffraction coefficients around corners for relaying the signal while denying surrounding deflecting obstacles (DOs) and considering them as noise sources. Few measurements of radio propagation in underground mines have been carried out for the MIMO-mmW systems, including the effect of miners’ activity. In this presentation, the importance of the presence of deflecting obstacles (DOs) for indoor wireless local area network (WLAN) applications in the 60 GHz band is evaluated, the propagation characteristics of a MIMO-mmW system within an underground mine environment is discussed, with the effect of miners’ activity being considered.
