Congratulations to Mr. YANG Danyu, a PhD student under the supervision of Professor Chen Zhining, who has been awarded the Grand Prize of the Maxwell Award at the prestigious 2024 Huawei Antenna Innovation Cup (HAC). This accolade highlights his exceptional achievement in the field of antenna research and innovation, securing first place in his category.
The Huawei Antenna Innovation Cup is a globally renowned student competition addressing key challenges in antenna technology applications. Organized by Huawei, the competition covers a broad spectrum of topics, including antenna systems for base stations, terminal devices, microwave, millimeter wave, and more. The HAC serves as a platform for aspiring researchers worldwide to showcase innovative solutions to real-world problems in advanced antenna design and application.
Mr. Yang’s award-winning research focuses on a self-decoupling method designed to tackle the challenge of broadband port and radiation pattern decoupling in ±45° dual-polarized adjacent-band antenna arrays. His innovative method is notable for its miniaturization, low profile, and scalability, making it ideal for closely spaced antennas and large-scale multi-antenna systems. This breakthrough demonstrates immense potential for enhancing the performance of next-generation wireless communication systems.
The award was presented during the ceremony on 13 December 2024 in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China. This recognition underscores Mr. Yang’s contributions to advancing the field of antenna technology and reflects the cutting-edge research and talent nurtured at NUS ECE.
