Hi, I’m Shih-Ming Huang
I’m a PhD candidate at Digital Microwave Lab in University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I am interested in antnena design, phased array design, and radio-frequency systems.
My current research topic is Ferromagnetic Resonance Enhanced Electrically Small Antenna. The project uses the resonance of electron spin precession to create very small antennas with high radiation efficiency and frequency tunability.This project is sponsored by Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA), and led by my advisor, Prof. Yuanxun Ethan Wang. In this project, I am responsible for the antenna design, measurement, and system integration.
Featured Projects
This project presents an electrically small antenna (ka = 0.2) that leverages on the circularly polarized electron spin precessions for radiation. The antenna design attains a measured realized gain of -4.5 dB and an axial ratio of 2.8 dB at 3.360 GHz. The resonance frequency is electronically tunable by the modulation of applied magnetic field
Trojan Radar is a wearable dual band (915MHz- and 5.8GHz-ISM Band) FMCW radar system for collision avoidance. The dual band system consists of two sets of radar circuits and two dual-band embedded patch antennas. The design won the 1st place of 2020 AP-S Student Design Contest.
Awards
A two-year scholarship supports outstanding students to study abroad. This scholarhip is sponsored by Ministry of Education of Taiwan Government supporting .
The scholarship aims to encourage students to pursue research and career developments in electromagnetic fields by rewarding the students of outstanding performances in related academic activities. We are awarded with US$ 3,300 scholarship at the banquet of Taiwan Telecommunications Annual Symposium.
The scholarship is sponsored by the alumni of Department of Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University. We are awarded for the achievement in international contests with US$ 3,590 scholarship.
The Dean’s List award is bestowed to the top 5% students of the department in each semester.
The topic of 2020 IEEE AP-S Student Design Contest is to propose a setup that can demonstrate properties of radar system in a pratical application and provide educational value. We proposed a dual-band wearable FMCW radar system based on open source platform. The dual-band properties has the potential of power-saving while maintaining high range resolution around the user, and the open-source environment provides easy access for users to modify and test the radar signals.
The scholarship is for students who have won the honor for National Taiwan University (NTU) by outstanding achievements in the academy or contest. The winner team can can receive up to US$ 6,600 scholarship and a medal from the president of NTU.
