    The Electromagnetic Systems Laboratory focuses on developing crucial electromagnetic-related technologies. With the rapid advancements in millimeter-wave communication and radar systems in recent years, this laboratory primarily innovates in the architecture of phased-array systems. Additionally, it specializes in the development of autonomous key Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) components.

    Millimeter-wave phased array antennas are currently widely employed in fifth-generation mobile communication and satellite communication systems. Consequently, the development of crucial chips suitable for large-scale millimeter-wave array antennas has become a significant research focus. Our laboratory's circuit research spans various types, including power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, mixers, and phase shifters. The processes primarily involve CMOS or GaN fabrication. Fig. 1 illustrates a switchable low-noise amplifier. This amplifier utilizes switchable inductor technology to achieve input matching at minimal loss. The graph demonstrates excellent gains at both 28/39 GHz frequencies. Fig. 2 displays a low-error phase shifter. Employing a low-pass/high-pass architecture, this phase shifter controls amplitude errors within 0.2 dB in switchable phase shifters and boasts an impressive operational bandwidth. Additional relevant publications are detailed below.

    In the architecture of phased arrays, there exist numerous innovative possibilities. Our research stems from the concept of vector-synthesized phase shifters. Expanding on the 90-degree coupler required for vector-synthesized phase shifters, theoretical analysis suggests that coupling this circuit with amplitude adjustment circuits can grant functionalities akin to those of phased array antennas. Moreover, it allows for beamwidth adjustment and synthesis of other beam shapes. Importantly, this architecture significantly reduces the use of active components, achieves higher gains, and enhances the precision of beam steering angles. Relevant publications regarding this research are listed below.
