Kai Chang (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S.E.E. degree from the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, in 1970, the M.S. degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY, USA, in 1972, and the Ph.D. degree from The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, MI, USA, in 1976.
From 1972 to 1976, he was with the Microwave Solid-State Circuits Group, Cooley Electronics Laboratory, The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, as a Research Assistant. From 1976 to 1978, he was with Shared Applications Inc., Ann Arbor, MI, USA, where he was involved with computer simulation of microwave circuits and microwave tubes. From 1978 to 1981, he was with the Electron Dynamics Division, Hughes Aircraft Company, Torrance, CA, USA, where he was involved in the research and development of millimeter-wave solid-state devices and circuits, power combiners, oscillators, and transmitters. From 1981 to 1985, he was with TRW Electronics and Defense, Redondo Beach, CA, USA, as a Section Head, where he developed state-of-the-art millimeter-wave integrated circuits and subsystems including mixers, voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), transmitters, amplifiers, modulators, upconverters, switches, multipliers, receivers, and transceivers. In August 1985, he joined the Electrical Engineering Department, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA, as an Associate Professor, becoming a Professor in 1988. From 1990 to 2006, he was appointed the Raytheon E-Systems Endowed Professor of Electrical Engineering. He is currently the Holder of the Texas Instruments Incorporated Endowed Chair. He has authored or coauthored several books, including Microwave Solid-State Circuits and Applications (New York, NY, USA: Wiley, 1994), Microwave Ring Circuits and Antennas (New York, NY, USA: Wiley, 1996, 2004, 2nd ed.), Integrated Active Antennas and Spatial Power Combining (New York, NY, USA: Wiley, 1996), RF and Microwave Wireless Systems (New York, NY, USA: Wiley, 2000), and RF and Microwave Circuit and Component Design for Wireless Systems (New York, NY, USA: Wiley, 2002). He was the Editor of the four-volume Handbook of Microwave and Optical Components (New York, NY, USA: Wiley, 1989 1990, 2003, 2nd ed.), and Editor for six volumes of Encyclopedia of RF and Microwave Engineering (New York, NY, USA: Wiley, 2005). He is the Editor for the Microwave and Optical Technology Letters and the Wiley Book Series in Microwave and Optical Engineering (over 70 books published). He has authored or coauthored over 240 journal papers, 220 conference papers, and many book chapters in the areas of microwave and millimeter-wave devices, circuits, and antennas. He has graduated over 25 Ph.D. students and over 35 M.S. students. His current interests are microwave and millimeter-wave devices and circuits, microwave integrated circuits, integrated antennas, wideband and active antennas, phased arrays, microwave power transmission, and microwave optical interactions.
Dr. Chang has been a Technical Committee member and session chair for the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S), the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (IEEE AP-S), and many international conferences. He was the Vice General Chair for the 2002 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation. He was the recipient of the Special Achievement Award from TRW (1984), the Halliburton Professor Award (1988), the Distinguished Teaching Award (1989), the Distinguished Research Award (1992), the TEES Fellow Award (1996) from Texas A&M University, and the 2007 Distinguished Educator Award of the IEEE MTT-S.
