Dr. Kin-Lu Wong is the National Chair Professor of Department of Electrical Engineering (2016 National Academic Award). His expertise is in the massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna system for the applications of the 5G mobile phones. Wong’s current research focuses on the development of massive MIMO antennas for terminal devices. His research team has successfully developed the promising 12 and 16 MIMO antennas for the 5G multiGbps smartphone and the innovative massive MIMO capacity which facilitates the development of 5G communications.

Wong explains that a mobile phone antenna's main function is to receive signals. The 16-antenna design opens 16 gates for signal transmission. For example, a mobile phone with a single antenna requires 4 minutes to download a 500 MB movie, whereas a mobile phone with 16 antennas requires only 15 seconds for the same task under the same bandwidth. The 16-antenna devices are expected to operate 16 times faster than single-antenna devices under 16 × 16 MIMO.Wong’s team has published more  than 800 journal papers and granted over 250 patents in Taiwan, China, USA, and Europe. More than half of the top ten international mobile phone companies collaborated with Dr. Wong for technical exchanges and consultations. He received numerous inquiries in an exhibition in Beijing in 2016. “They were amazed by Taiwan’s technology in massive M I M O antenna development for terminal devices,” Wong said. Dr. Wong is confident that NSYSU's antenna technology can be counted as the top leader in both academia and industry.
