Prof. Hong Wei has made systematic and innovative contributions to millimeter-wave fundamental theory, chips and systems, measurement techniques, and instrumentation.
As one of the main contributors, he helped develop the new field of “substrate integrated waveguide structures and devices,” broke through key technologies in a series of
multi-channel, large-bandwidth millimeter-wave measurements, and pioneered the development of silicon-based chips operating up to 800 GHz in China, achieving
large-scale industrial application.
He has published over 480 papers in authoritative academic journals such as Science China, Engineering, IEEE Transactions Journals, and Advanced Materials, and
authored 2 monographs; his work has garnered over 37,000 Google Scholar citations with an H-index of 95, and he has delivered 28 plenary/keynote speeches at major
international conferences held in the UK, Italy, Poland, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, China, and other countries. He has undertaken and completed numerous national
projects, including the National 973 Program, Key R&D Programs, Innovative Research Groups, and Major National Scientific Research Instrument Development Projects.
His research findings have been applied in specific model equipment, 5G millimeter-wave base station AAUs, millimeter-wave satellite communication equipment, and
Beidou satellite navigation testing.
His accolades include the Second Class National Natural Science Award (first author, 2023), the Second Class National Science and Technology Progress Award
(first author, 2023), the Fourth Class National Natural Science Award (third author, 1991), three First Prizes at the ministerial and provincial level (all first author), the
