Abstract

In this presentation, the recent research into microwave and millimeter-wave (MMW) system applications at National Taiwan University (NTU) will be described. Based on our development of III-V and silicon-based monolithic microwave/MMW integrated MMICs, several applications have been conducted. Our MMICs supported a couple of radio telescope systems, namely, Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy (AMiBA), and Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) systems. A pair of CMOS based 38-GHz transmit/receive chips, together with GaAs pHEMT LNA and PA, have also been developed to support the 38-GHz 5-G RF front end system, and the electronic beam steering function was successfully demonstrated using a pair of 32-element Tx/Rx phased arrays. he similar 38-GHz transmit/receive chips have modified for an application on the drone to transmit the 8K/4K video in real time for wild animal monitoring. Another developed microwave system is a harmonic radar for the tracking of bees in order to help entomologists to identify the cause of colony collapse disorder (CCD) of the bees. Brief descriptions of each system and application will be presented, along with the microwave/MMW circuit development at NTU.
