Abstract
In a wireless communication system, signal interference will cause a substantial degradation in signal quality. In order to suppress the interference of the adjacent channel signals high selectivity filters with transmission zeros at stopband are highly desirable in modern communication system. This talk discusses the state of the art, showing the current approaches of transmission zeros realization in microwave filter and their design challenges. The practical issues will also be discussed and shown with some new technology breakthroughs achieved to address the issues.

Speaker’s Biography
Peng Wen Wong (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.Eng. degree (Hons.) in electrical and electronic engineering from the University of Leeds, in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Leeds, U.K., in 2009. He was involved in a U.K. DTI-funded project developing process design kits for multilayer system-in-package modules. He was fully funded by the U.K. Ministry of Defense through the DTC Program. He joined Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS as an Associate Professor from 2010-2019. He is currently a Principal Engineer at Huawei Sweden, leading the 5G filter R&D. His research interests include reconfigurable filters, novel synthesis techniques and filter topologies, ceramic filters and reflection-less filters. Dr. Wong is also an Associate Fellow of the ASEAN Academy of Engineering and Technology (AAET). He has served as an invited speaker locally and internationally including at APMC 2017 and a keynote speaker at ICCSP 2017. He has received the Outstanding Researcher Award, in 2013, a publication award, in 2014, and the Potential Academy Award of the Year, in 2015. He received the Switched Reluctance Drive Award of electrical and electronics engineering. He has served as the Technical Chair for IMESS 2017 and 2018. He was the Former Chair of the IEEE ED/MTT/SSC Penang Chapter, from 2016 to 2017. He was the Founding Chair of the IEEE International Microwave, Electron Devices, and Solid-State Symposium (IMESS), in 2016. He serves as a Reviewer for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQUES, the IEEE MICROWAVE AND WIRELESS COMPONENTS LETTERS, IET Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation, and PIERS.
