Abstract

Millimeter-wave liquid crystal phased array antennas are capable of achieving high integration, wide-range beam adjustment, wide operating frequency band, miniaturization, and low cost. Liquid Crystal Phased Array Antennas not only hold significant academic value but also demonstrate broad prospects in engineering applications. This talk elaborates on the research background, current status, and challenges of liquid crystal phased array antennas. By means of research in this field, we aim to meet the urgent needs of future intelligent society for extremely high-speed, extremely low-latency, and extremely high-reliability 6G communication network applications.

Biography:

Porf Yejun He (Senior Member, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in Information and Communication Engineering from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST), Wuhan, China, in 2005. From 2005 to 2006, he was a Research Associate with the Department of Electronic and Information Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. From 2006 to 2007, he was a Research Associate with the Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. In 2012, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, ON, Canada, as a Visiting Professor. From 2013 to 2015, he was an Advanced Visiting Scholar (Visiting Professor) with the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA. From 2023 to 2024, he was an Advanced Research Scholar (Visiting Professor) with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore, Singapore.

Since 2006, he has been a faculty of Shenzhen University, where he is currently a Full Professor with the College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, China, the Director of Sino-British Antennas and Propagation Joint Laboratory of Ministry of Science and Technology of the People's Republic of China (MOST), the Director of the Guangdong Engineering Research Center of Base Station Antennas and Propagation, and the Director of the Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Antennas and Propagation. He was selected as an Expert with Special Government Allowance from the State Council in China, and a Leading Talent in the ``Guangdong Special Support Program'' in 2024. He was promoted to the Shenzhen ``Pengcheng Scholar'' Distinguished Professor in 2020. He has authored or coauthored more than 330 refereed journal and conference papers and seven books. He holds more than 30 patents. His research interests include wireless communications, antennas, and radio frequency. He is the Principal Investigator for over 40 current or finished research projects, including the National Key Research and Development Program of China, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Science and Technology Program of Guangdong Province, and the Science and Technology Program of Shenzhen City.

Dr. He was also a recipient of the Shenzhen Overseas High-Caliber Personnel Level B (Peacock Plan Award B) and Shenzhen High-Level Professional Talent (Local Leading Talent).
