Paris Junior Professorship and\u0026nbsp;leads the Georgia Tech Electronics and Micro-System (GEMS) Lab. He has also received multiple prestigious academic awards, including the IEEE MTT-S Outstanding Young Engineer Award in\u0026nbsp;2017,\u0026nbsp;Georgia Tech Sigma\u0026nbsp;Xi\u0026nbsp;Young Faculty Award in\u0026nbsp;2016,\u0026nbsp;National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award in\u0026nbsp;2015,\u0026nbsp;Roger\u0026nbsp;P.

Wang is also a\u0026nbsp;Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society for 2018 and\u0026nbsp;2019.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAs millimeter-wave frequency applications have become prevalent in the commercial and Department of Defense\u0026nbsp;markets, there is a rapidly\u0026nbsp;growing\u0026nbsp;need for advanced\u0026nbsp;millimeter-wave\u0026nbsp;solid-state\u0026nbsp;power amplifier technologies that\u0026nbsp;can support\u0026nbsp;high energy\u0026nbsp;efficiency, sufficient output power, and high-speed complex modulations. Moreover, high-efficiency\u0026nbsp;amplifiers\u0026nbsp;covering\u0026nbsp;extremely\u0026nbsp;wide bandwidth have\u0026nbsp;become a\u0026nbsp;necessity, particularly\u0026nbsp;for frequency-agile massive Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output\u0026nbsp;(MIMO) systems, such as multi-standard 5G wireless\u0026nbsp;communication.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn this project, Wang will lead the fundamental research on\u0026nbsp;a completely\u0026nbsp;new class of extremely-wideband-yet-efficient power amplifiers over the frequency range of 30-100GHz.\u0026nbsp;The key technology\u0026nbsp;innovations include novel amplifier circuit topologies,\u0026nbsp;hybrid\u0026nbsp;use of silicon\/non-silicon solid-state devices, and multi-mode amplifier operations.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThis project will potentially\u0026nbsp;achieve a new class of load modulation power amplifiers\u0026nbsp;with an unprecedented combination of\u0026nbsp;bandwidth, energy efficiency, and output power.
