Exploring the enabling role of cutting-edge technologies in antennas and propagation
with Kwai-Man Luk
18 APRIL 2022
In this episode of OJAP TALKS, OJAP’s Associate Editor, Dr Qammer Abbasi, talks with Prof. Kwai-Man Luk from the City University of Hong Kong. Prof. Luk speaks about the transformative power of millimeter-wave antenna technologies for next-generation wireless applications. He discusses the latest trends in millimeter-wave antenna design and goes through the key challenges towards achieving miniaturization, wide bandwidth, and increased performance. He also sheds light on the enabling role of liquid antennas for future communications and reflects on the opportunities presented by reconfigurable intelligent metasurfaces for mobile communications, sensing, energy harvesting, and wireless power transfer.
