However\, realizing efficient and scalable active phased arra ys at these frequencies remains challenging due to high cost\, interconnec t losses\, packaging parasitics\, and heterogeneous integration constraint s. This talk presents a holistic\, system-level approach to low-loss D-ban d phased array integration that unifies circuit\, antenna\, and packaging co-design. Leveraging both silicon-based (CMOS\, SiGe) and III–V integra ted circuits\, the approach emphasizes optimized beamformer and power ampl ifier architectures combined with low-cost 2D scalable\, wide-angle scanni ng wideband antenna arrays implemented using low-cost PCB processes. Throu gh electromagnetic co-optimization and advanced interconnect engineering\, the framework achieves significant reduction in loss and improvement in o verall system efficiency. Measured D-band results from prototype modules d emonstrate wide-angle beam steering and data transmission rates up to 100 Gb/s. These results confirm the feasibility of steerable\, high-capacity a rrays suitable for both communication and sensing platforms.\n\nBiography -\n\nKamil Yavuz Kapusuz (Senior Member\, IEEE) received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Atilim University\, Ankara\, Turkey\, in 20 13\, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Electromagnet ics Group\, Department of Information Technology\, Ghent University\, Belg ium in 2021.\n\nFrom 2014 to 2016\, he worked as a Senior Antenna Engineer at Remote Sensing Technologies\, Turkey. Between 2021 and 2022\, he was a Visiting Scientist at the CNRS\, IETR Laboratory\, France. Since 2022\, h e has been a Senior Researcher in Electromagnetics at IMEC and Ghent Unive rsity. His research includes on the analysis and design of quasi-optical s ystems\, leaky-wave antennas\, near-field focusing techniques\, in/on-body communication systems\, active/reconfigurable/unconventional millimeter-w ave and sub-terahertz phased arrays\, and electromagnetic modeling and opt imization of 2.5D and 3D RF packaging architectures.\n\nDr. Kapusuz receiv ed the URSI Young Scientist Award at the 2021 URSI General Assembly.\n\nCo -sponsored by: Vince Socci socci@ieee.org 607-768-2647\n\nAgenda: \n Presentation will start a few minutes after 5:30 PM.\n\nVirtual: https://e vents.vtools.ieee.org/m/576592 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576592 ORGANIZER:bruce.crain@ieee.org SEQUENCE:37 SUMMARY:IEEE Melbourne Virtual Lecture - From Chip to System: A Holistic Ap proach to 2D Scalable Low-Loss D-Band Active Phased Array Realization URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/576592 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="text-align: center\;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(224\, 62\, 45)\; font-size: 24pt\;">PLEASE JOIN IEEE ME LBOURNE SECTION AS WE HOST ANOTHER VIRTUAL ZOOM MEETING!!!</span></strong> </p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(224\ , 62\, 45)\; font-size: 24pt\;">Tuesday September 29\, 5:30PM</span></stro ng></p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;">&nbsp\;</p>\n<p style="text-align : center\;"><span style="font-size: 24pt\; font-family: Aptos\, sans-serif \; color: rgb(52\, 73\, 94)\;">IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S ) Young Professional Ambassador\, Kamil Yavuz Kapusuz Ph.D.\, will present for IEEE Melbourne Section:</span></p>\n<p style="text-align: center\;">< span style="font-size: 36pt\; font-family: Aptos\, sans-serif\; color: rgb (35\, 111\, 161)\;">From Chip to System: A Holistic Approach to 2D Scalabl e Low-Loss D-Band Active Phased Array Realization</span></p>\n<p style="te xt-align: left\;"><span style="font-size: 18pt\;">The relentless demand fo r multi-gigabit wireless communication and high-resolution sensing drives rapid innovation in D-band (110&ndash\;170 GHz) systems.
