A New Language for Antenna Theory and Applications
Junming Diao | jdiao@ece.msstate.edu
Abstract: Classical antenna theory has extensively defined and comprehended figures of merit, including impedance, directivity, and realized gain, primarily for transmitting antennas. However, these metrics are seldom employed to elucidate and characterize the behavior of receiving antennas. This traditional language of antennas primarily revolves around transmitting antennas, potentially constraining our comprehension of receiving antenna attributes. In this presentation, we will introduce a fresh approach to antenna analysis, known as the Poynting streamline method, specifically tailored for modeling and scrutinizing receiving antennas. I will explore three significant impacts of adopting this technique within the antenna community: (1) enhancements to classical antenna theory, (2) innovative antenna and RF system designs for wireless applications, and (3) the development of effective educational tools for antenna engineering students.
Dr. Junming Diao received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China, in 2009 and 2012, respectively, and a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Brigham Young University (BYU), Provo, UT, USA, in 2017. From 2017 to 2019, he was a postdoctoral scholar in electrical engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), CA, USA. From 2019 to 2020, he was a system engineer working on system-on-chip (SOC) for 100/400 Gbps optical modules in Maxlinear, Inc. in Carlsbad, California. From 2020 to 2021, he worked as an antenna design engineer working on Apple Watch projects in Apple, Inc. in Cupertino, California. Since Fall 2021, he is an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineer at Mississippi State University.
