The two papers were orally presented at the conference during November 17-20, 2024, in Bali, Indonesia.<\/p>\n<p>As one of the three major international conferences in the field of RF and microwave technology, the Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC) covers topics including RF components and circuits, antennas and propagation, systems and applications, and emerging technologies such as AI and quantum technologies. APMC 2024 is its 36<sup>th<\/sup> version since it was launched in 1986. A total of 638 paper submissions were received for APMC 2024 from 34 countries and regions, with 445 papers accepted. Among them, 5 papers were selected for the Best Student Paper Awards. \u00a0Conference website: <a href=\"https:\/\/apmc2024.org\/\">https:\/\/apmc2024.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20796 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Picture2-1024x319.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Picture2-1024x319.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Picture2-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Picture2-768x239.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cde.nus.edu.sg\/ece\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/12\/Picture2.jpg 1379w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The award-wining paper by Mr. Zhang Jingyuan, entitled \u201cA Fully-Integrated GaN Coupled-Line-Based Load-Modulated Balanced Amplifier\u201d introduces novel design principles and implementation methods of a fully-integrated load-modulated balanced amplifier (LMBA) using coupled-line technology.
