About author:ZHU Zhihao received his BS degree from Hangzhou Dianzi University, China in 2016. He is currently pursuing an MS degree in electronic science and technology with Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. His research interests include antenna theory and design, especially in shorted patch antennas, broadband printed antennas, antenna decoupling, and antenna-in-package (AiP).|ZHANG Yueping (eypzhang@ntu.edu.sg ) is a full professor with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He is a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S) and Fellow of the IEEE. He was a member of the IEEE AP-S Field Award Committee (2015–2017) and an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (2010–2016). Prof. ZHANG has published numerous papers, including two invited papers and one regular paper in the Proceedings of the IEEE and one invited paper in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He is a Chinese radio scientist who has published a historical article in English learned journals such as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine. He received the 2012 IEEE AP-S Sergei A. Schelkunoff Prize Paper Award. Prof. ZHANG has been invited to deliver plenary speeches at the flagship conferences organized by IEEE, CIE, EurAAP, and IEICE. He received the Best Paper Award from the 2nd IEEE/IET International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing, the Best Paper Prize from the 3rd IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology, and the Best Paper Award from the 10th IEEE Global Symposium on Millimeter-Waves. He holds seven US patents. He has made pioneering and significant contributions to the development of AiP technology. He received the 2020 IEEE AP-S John Kraus Antenna Award. His current interests are in the development of antenna-on-chip (AoC) technology for very large-scale antenna integration and characterization of chip-scale propagation channels at terahertz for wireless chip area networks (WCAN).
