His main research interests are antenna design and characterization for wireless applications. In particular, his current R&D focuses on beam‐steering antennas, new material/metamaterial‐based antennas, near‐field antennas, medical antennas, and millimeter‐wave/sub‐millimeter‐wave antennas.

Dr. Qing has authored/co‐authored 270+ technical papers published in international journals or presented at international conferences. He is the editor of Handbook of Antenna Technologies (Springer, 2016). He has also contributed 10 chapters to the books entitled Antennas for Small Mobile Terminals (Artech House, 2018), Developments in Antenna Analysis and Synthesis (IET, 2018), Electromagnetics of Body‐Area Networks: Antennas, Propagation, and RF Systems (Wiley‐IEEE press, 2016), Antenna Technologies Handbook (Springer, 2015), Microstrip and Printed Antennas: New Trends, Techniques and Applications (Wiley, 2010), Antennas for Fixed Base‐Stations in Wireless Communications (McGraw‐Hill, 2009), Ultra‐Wideband Short‐Pulse Electromagnetics 7 (Springer, 2007), Antenna for Portable devices (Wiley, London, England, April 2007). He is holding 21 granted and filed patents. He was a recipient of the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation Best Paper Award in 2010, the CST University Publication Award in 2015, and the IEEE Asia Pacific Conference on Antenna and Propagation Best Student Paper Award in 2016. He was also a recipient of Electronic Industry Advancement Award (1st Class, Sichuan Province, P. R. China) in 1993 and 1995, Electronic Industry Advancement Award (3rd Class, Sichuan Province, P. R. China) in 1995 and 1997, Science and Technology Advancement Award (2nd Class, Ministry of Electronic Industry, P. R. China) in 1994, Science and Technology Advancement Award (3rd Class, Ministry of Electronic Industry, P. R. China) in 1997, IES Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award (Singapore) in 2006, 2013, and 2014, and Singapore Manufacturing Federation Award in 2014.

Dr. Qing is a fellow of IEEE. He is serving as the associate editor of IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology and the International Journal of Microwave and Wireless Technologies (Cambridge University Press/EuMA), the editorial board member of Chinese Journal of Electronics (Chinese Institute of Electronics). He also served as the general co‐chair of the IEEE Asia‐Pacific Conference on Antennas and Propagation 2015/2018, the International Symposium on InfoComm & Mechatronics Technology in Biomedical & Healthcare Application 2016 (IS 3Tin3A in 2016). He is currently servicing as the member for MTT‐26 RFID, Wireless Sensor and IoT Committee as well as the general co‐chair of 2021 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC‐URSI Radio Science Meeting.

There are now massive research articles and presentations on the design and analysis of millimeter wave antennas, providing evidence that the topic has reached an age of maturity. Professor Zhi Ning Chen and his colleagues and former graduate students have made significant contributions in this area for years. This book is very timely as many upcoming wireless systems will be operated at millimeter wave frequencies, including 5G mobile communications, collision avoidance systems for cars, autonomous control systems for unmanned aerial vehicles, satellite radar and communication systems, and so forth.

The readers will find the book coverage both wide and deep. After describing the details on the features of millimeter wave technology and unique challenges of antenna design as well as millimeter wave measurement techniques and experimental setups, various techniques for improving the performance of classical antennas for the operation at millimeter waves, realizing by LTCC technologies, are reviewed and disclosed. Those antenna designs include low‐profile substrate‐integrated waveguide slot antennas, broadband antenna arrays on metamaterials, substrate‐integrated cavity antennas, cavity‐backed substrate‐integrated waveguide slot antennas with large apertures, circularly polarized substrate integrated waveguide slot antennas, microstrip antennas with suppressed surface wave losses, substrate integrated antennas for automotive radars, and substrate edge radiating antennas. Pattern synthesizing techniques for achieving low sidelobe are also reviewed.
