DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Kamil Yavuz Kapusuz\n\nTitle：From Chip to System
 : A Holistic Approach to 2D Scalable Low-Loss D-Band Active Phased Array R
 ealization\n\nAbstract: The relentless demand for multi-gigabit wireless c
 ommunication and high-resolution sensing drives rapid innovation in D-band
  (110–170 GHz) systems. However\, realizing efficient and scalable activ
 e phased arrays at these frequencies remains challenging due to high cost\
 , interconnect losses\, packaging parasitics\, and heterogeneous integrati
 on constraints. This talk presents a holistic\, system-level approach to l
 ow-loss D-band phased array integration that unifies circuit\, antenna\, a
 nd packaging co-design. Leveraging both silicon-based (CMOS\, SiGe) and II
 I–V integrated circuits\, the approach emphasizes optimized beamformer a
 nd power amplifier architectures combined with low-cost 2D scalable\, wide
 -angle scanning wideband antenna arrays implemented using low-cost PCB pro
 cesses. Through electromagnetic co-optimization and advanced interconnect 
 engineering\, the framework achieves significant reduction in loss and imp
 rovement in overall system efficiency. Measured D-band results from protot
 ype modules demonstrate wide-angle beam steering and data transmission rat
 es up to 100 Gb/s. These results confirm the feasibility of steerable\, hi
 gh-capacity arrays suitable for both communication and sensing platforms.\
 n\nShort Bio: Kamil Yavuz Kapusuz (Senior Member\, IEEE) received the M.Sc
 . degree in Electrical Engineering from Atilim University\, Ankara\, Turke
 y\, in 2013\, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Elec
 tromagnetics Group\, Department of Information Technology\, Ghent Universi
 ty\, Belgium in 2021.\n\nFrom 2014 to 2016\, he worked as a Senior Antenna
  Engineer at Remote Sensing Technologies\, Turkey. Between 2021 and 2022\,
  he was a Visiting Scientist at the CNRS\, IETR Laboratory\, France. Since
  2022\, he has been a Senior Researcher in Electromagnetics at IMEC and Gh
 ent University. His research includes on the analysis and design of quasi-
 optical systems\, leaky-wave antennas\, near-field focusing techniques\, i
 n/on-body communication systems\, active/reconfigurable/unconventional mil
 limeter-wave and sub-terahertz phased arrays\, and electromagnetic modelin
 g and optimization of 2.5D and 3D RF packaging architectures.\n\nDr. Kapus
 uz received the URSI Young Scientist Award at the 2021 URSI General Assemb
 ly.\n\nTime: 2pm-3pm NST\, 1 December\, 2026\n\nWebinar Link: https://mun.
