Junho Park (Ph.D student in Electrical Engineering, POSTECH) and Prof. Wonbin Hong (Advisor) are selected to receive the IEEE European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2020) Best Student Paper Award for the paper entitled “Metal Stamped Antenna-in-Package for Millimeter-wave Large-scale Phased-array Applications Using Multiphysics Analysis”. Mr. Junho Park is honored as the first non-European student to win this award which is also the first achievement in the history of the Korean Electromagnetic Society.

The IEEE European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP) is Europe’s largest and most significant conference for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) and one of the three major IEEE AP-S conferences. The EuCAP Best Student Paper is awarded to only one doctorate student among a total of 1543 submitted papers in EuCAP 2020. In addition, the authors have already been awarded the 1st Prize Best Paper Award at another of the top three major IEEE AP-S conferences (IEEE ISAP 2018).

In this conference, the authors presented a new design methodology using multiphysics (electrical-thermal-mechanical) analysis for highly integrated millimeter- and Terahertz-wave phased-array applications. This multi-disciplinary approach is exemplified as a first-of-its-kind massive-scale phased-array antenna-in-package dually functioning as a highly efficient phased-array and a low-profile heat spreader.
