Suitability:
․ Research Performance (since 2010)
— 9 journal papers (7*TMTT, 1*TBME, 1*MWCL), 11
conference papers (8*IMS, 2*RFIC, 1*APMC), 9 US
patents (5 issued and 4 pending), and 2 technical
transfers (ITRI, Taiwan).
․ Potential
— Techniques: Self-injection-locked radar system.
— Applications: Remote vital sign monitoring, sport coach, wireless gesture
control, see-through-wall image, indoor positioning, and medical fields.
In short, there are three characteristics about my research performance, they are
respectively novelty, integrity, and practicably. Since the SIL radar is very powerful
and attracts much attention, I really hope I can get the opportunity to apply radar
technology in consumer products.

Research Interests
Since 2007, I endeavored to design RFICs and develop microwave sensing
techniques such as spectrum sensing, vital sign monitoring, see-though-wall imaging,
indoor positioning, and hand gesture recognition. In 2009 and 2011, the
self-injection-locked (SIL) continuous-wave (CW) radar and SIL
frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar were represented with
significant characteristics which include high SNR gain, low clutter effect, and
immunity against interference. However, there are still some potential applications
and technical challenges such as nonlinear frequency modulation. Moreover, the last
mile for totally applying SIL technique in radar system is SIL pulse radar. My
research ideas are shown as follows:
1. Concept SIL radar chip using class E self-oscillating mixer with injection port.
2. Implantable vital sign sensor.
3. SIL in/out of phase radar.
4. SIL pulse radar.
5. Frequency hopping SIL VCO.
