Six papers were selected into the finalists list for Application Track, and one is finally awarded the First Prize.\u00a0 The paper entitled \u201cA Compact Beamsteering Metasurface Lens Array Antenna with Low-cost Phased Array\u201d presents a compact metasurface lens array fed by a phased array for low-cost, volumetric beamsteering applications. In this work, the thickness of the metasurface lens array antenna is reduced to one-third that of a typical single-large-aperture lens antenna while only three phase shifters are required across an aperture size of 7.2 wavelengths. The presented new architecture features the merit of high gain, lower cost, simpler feeding network and lower profile compared to conventional full phased arrays and single-aperture lens antennas which facilitates its application in the 5G wireless communication and radar systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">It is noteworthy that Mr. Ruolei Xi also won the Excellent Award for the same entry paper, at the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> NUS EM &amp; Microwave Student Symposium 2021, 25 Feb 2021, Singapore.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-8606 gallery-columns-2
