Title Hybrid and Composite Waveguide Integration Technologies for Millimeter-wave/Terahertz Systems and Broadband/Ultrafast Electronics
Abstract Widespread applications and commercial success of millimeter-wave (mmW) and terahertz (THz) electronics and photonics depend on manufacturing cost, loss management, interference control. and integration density of their front-end modules and systems. On the other hand, the desire for prospective terabits and ultrafast electronics may eventually become the fundamental driving force for the development of next generation low-loss and low-dispersion guided-wave structures. This plenary talk will begin with the presentation of waveguide integration and transmission lines for the development of THz systems and applications. State-of-the-art substrate integration technologies including both metallic and dielectric topologies are reviewed for current mainstreaming THz ICs developments and applications. Fundamental issues judging from transmission loss and integration density are addressed. To overcome such technical hurdles for future THz circuits and systems, emerging composite waveguide architectures and hybrid planar integration strategies are demonstrated and discussed with theoretical and experimental results at THz frequencies. With the development of innovative fabrication processes and material synthesis techniques, unique high-density THz ICs and interconnects can be made of diversified metallic and dielectric integrated waveguides within the same design blocks in support of both TEM mode and non-TEM mode. |

Prof Stepan Lucyszyn Imperial College London |
Title Building-edge Additive Manufacturing Technologies: 3D Printing Landscape for Next Generation Radio Frequency Applications Abstract Over the past seven years, Prof. Lucyszyn and his team have been pioneering 3D printed components, circuits and subsystems that can operate in the microwave-to-terahertz spectrum for lightweight applications that include low-cost communications, radar and sensor systems. This will explore some of the work undertaken at Imperial College London, highlighting advantages and current challenges for commercial exploitation in next generation applications.. Over the past eight years, he has publish six invited international conference papers and 18 journal papers; the first of which kick-started the recent innovation of 3D-printed rectangular waveguides. In 2022, for his work on 3D printing, Prof. Lucyszyn (and his team at Imperial College London) won Junkosha's inaugural Technology Innovator of the Year Award for the Microwave and Millimeter Wave category. |
